Michele Rigby Assad was one of those people. As a CIA agent, Michele soon found that working undercover was an all-encompassing job. The threats were real. The mission was a perilous one.

A battalion of Serbs has been senselessly murdered in Kosovo, and the Green Berets stand accused. Now, Major Sean Drummond, a top Army lawyer, is assigned to investigate this unspeakable atrocity. But of course, no one saw anything. Drummond gets consistently suspicious depositions from all of the Green Berets: Supposedly pursued by Serb soldiers, they left the engagement with wounded Serbs firing at them, and no one can explain the number of deaths.

During a nearly 40-year career in the United States Army, Hugh Shelton has been known as a straight shooter - when he speaks he means what he says. Whether serving under a Democratic president or a Republican president, whether in a war that was popular at home or not, Hugh Shelton gave all he had, and asked nothing less of the men and women who worked for him. Politically independent, Shelton told the truth - not what his superiors wanted to hear.

In 1978, CIA maverick Jack Platt and KGB agent Gennady Vasilenko were new arrivals on the Washington, D.C., intelligence scene, with Jack working out of the CIA's counterintelligence office and Gennady out of the Soviet Embassy. Both men were assigned to seduce the other into betraying his country in the final days of the Cold War, but instead the men ended up becoming the best of friends. Theirs is a friendship that never should have happened, and their story is chock full of treachery, darkly comic misunderstandings, bureaucratic inanity, and landmark intelligence breakthroughs.

Finally. People are starting to speak up.
What made the experience of listening to Crisis of Character the most enjoyable?
I knew the author was highly credible. A decades seasoned veteran whose heart was to serve our country. I can't imagine the terrible conflicts and scandalous situations that many seem to find themselves when having to work with the Clintons. To have to serve such abuse of power, such lack of character, is reprehensible. No Clinton should be allowed near our government ever again.
What other book might you compare Crisis of Character to and why?
Clinton Cash. Because stories of Clinton corruption are corroborated and affirmed.
Finally people are speaking up and speaking out about bad leadership plunging this country into refuse.
What does Brian Troxell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Like I was there.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
No more Clintons! No more Bushs'!

50/50 - Gov't Bureaucracy and Clinton's vs. Bush's
Interesting look into how the Secret Service and other government agencies work at the 'top' from one mans experience. Reminded me of a lot of details and scandals from the 90's I had happily forgotten about. Good listen for the conscientious voter that may be undecided in the 2016 presidential race and good reminder that while the US system of government is the greatest, we must be remain vigilant as individuals.

Worth listening to
What made the experience of listening to Crisis of Character the most enjoyable?
It was more interesting than enjoyable.
What did you like best about this story?
Actually hearing how The Hillary treats working class people
Have you listened to any of Brian Troxell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven't. This was read well enough. No complaints about the reader
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, While it was new, it's really all been said about her
Any additional comments?
If your seriously considering voting Hillary this fall that the time to listen to this book. This isn't republican slander, this is the truth. While I'm not endorsing anyone, I'm thinking twice.

A behind the scenes look at the Crooked Clintons
My first recollection of Bill was of him playing the Sax on Arsenio Hall and thinking wow this guy will win and be a great President. But oh how far you've fallen Lucifer along with your evil wife. This book demonstrates just how rotten the Clintons have been all along.
I imagine they smell as rotten as the burnt human flesh that littered the highways when we were tricked into invading Iraq. We must drain the swamp of these venomous snakes and leaches.

Inside look at the Clintons
Pros: it's a great insight into the character of the Clintons and the Bush. Very well told and incredibly interesting.
Cons: he goes very in depth into his training, which isn't as exciting as the rest of the book

The narrator was excellent! The context was very informative, descriptive, and action-packed. Mr. Byrne is one of many courageous American Patriots with integrity with first hand account of the sheer evil we are dealing with, with the Clintons. We must not allow that evil in our White House again!

eh...ok nothing mind blowing
Any additional comments?
I was really anticipating some ground breaking info about the Clintons instead I got pretty much the same stories that were released in the news. Half the book he doesn't even talk about the Clintons. I'm not a Hillary supporter but I found this book to be slightly ridiculous as he blames the Clintons for so many different events that took place years after their presidency. I also thought it was hilarious when he says Bills relationship with Monica could have brought this country tumbling down. Like our country is so fragile that a blowjob is going to shatter it...come on.
