IN THE SHADOW OF FEAR America and the World in 1950

Rich Miller gives a solid narration of this history of the United States' transition from the post-WWII alliance to the beginning of the Cold War in 1949-50. Bunker shows us the people who made history with all of their foibles, hypocrisy, and human flaws. All of them are very human beings filled with confidence and, all too often, not much wisdom. My father and mother both talked of this time with a certain affection, but all this ended when he received orders in July 1950 to go to Korea. Miller has a deep and resonant voice that is suitably expressive throughout the production. He does well in delivering non-English/foreign names. His pacing combined with his expressive delivery make this a worthwhile listening experience. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2024]
