pickAmazing story of the prejudice and injustice that faced black men and women in America's armed forces during World War II. Setting is July 1944 at Port Chicago on the California coast. They were disrespected, segregation, forced to use dangerous equipment, and prosecuted with a charge of mutiny punishable by death…

This book should be titled, When Women "Ruled" the World instead. While I thought this was going to be about female empowerment/feminism... it's giving much more, "she was in power only bc... "xx" reason." Men were still seen as superior. I thought this was going to be about a time when women were seen as equals.. but the author enjoys pointing out the fact women were never equal - this was all coincidence/luck that brought them into their power.
...American behavior because they have too much information."
pickNGL this book is long - 19.5 hours audio - but so fascinating if you‘re interested in the power behind the power in Washington. The authors follow major lobbyists from both sides of the aisle and examine the rise and fall of many K Street firms like Patton Boggs and Black Manafort and Stone. I loved the in depth look at the downfall of Manafort and Stone as well as Tony Podesta. Covers the 1970s through the Trump administration.
