Acerca de esta escucha

Written with award-winning author Steven Weingartner, Faithful Warriors chronicles Dean Ladd's experiences as a junior officer in some of the fiercest fighting of the war in the Pacific. His recollections and descriptions of life - and death - on the far-flung island battlefronts of the Pacific War are vividly rendered, augmented by the recollections of a number of the men with whom he served.

This memoir tells the story of how both Ladd and the Marine Corps came of age during history's greatest military conflict. His journey through the war is representative of many Marines in World War II: training outside of San Diego just before the war, awaiting the Japanese attack after Pearl Harbor as part of the Marine garrison on Samoa, surviving the savage fighting on Guadalcanal, resting and recuperating afterwards in New Zealand.

Ladd is at his best when he is describes exactly what he saw, heard, and smelled within the mythical 50-yard circle of his foxhole. From his narrative we learn of the bravery of men who mustered the courage to scramble down the nets for the landing craft, after facing the veteran's fatalistic fear that one's luck in surviving the next battle would surely run out and knowing the ferocity that would come.

This story is great. I listened to the Jocko interview of the author. It was intense.

This reader is like a robot and way to monotone. A very big turn off and not worth continuing.

Want my money back.

I’ll read the book instead.

Read by a robot

Ok.. so the reader has a little bit of a monotone reading style. But if you listen closely, you will hear plenty of inflections in the readers voice.

Regardless of the reader’s voice, this book is a MUST! Anyone who has any interest in the Pacific Theater in WW2, I could not and would not hesitate to highly recommend this book. The stories told by many of the survivors of these horrific and blood soaked battles must be heard, listened to and to understood, at least as best each listener can.

Do not let any negative comments prevent you from getting this book and listening to it. This is a MUST!

It's a shame the stories of these men was read with the emotion a textbook deserves. I recommend reading this book over listening.

Great story; terrible narrator.

I just got this book book because of jocko podcast and started listing to this book. The narrator sounds like a monotone history teacher from an 80's movie with no emotion like he is reading from a list. It literally had me falling asleep while I was working. I have not finished the book but I just could not listen to his voice anymore.

Listen to Sleep!!!!
