Grey Wolves: The U-Boat War 1939-1945 di Philip Kaplan

I may be a bit harsh here but this is such a Quilt Of A(n) (Audio)Book. Grey Wolves, ineptly and quite undeservedly subtitled The U-Boot War 1939-1945 is a mongrel work built of disparate parts; the only thing cohesive about it is maybe its glue and spine, if you are reading the book which I’m not.
That is how irrelevant a rather large part of the writer’s work is to the title and proposed subject matter of the book.

Night in Tehran di Philip Kaplan

Ever wonder what happened to the Shah of Iran, and the revolution and how a nobody cleric ended up making America look a scared child?
Read this book.
Yes I know it is fiction but it isn’t. It reads like a nonfiction book- after all it was written by a career diplomat, he just chose to write it as fiction with some interesting characters thrown in.
Excellent book.

Night in Tehran di Philip Kaplan

Interesting interpretation of what happened during the hostage ordeal in Iran in 1979. Keeping all the characters straight is a bit challenging but worth the effort.
