James Langton gives Hamilton's history of FDR's military leadership in WWII up to the Allied invasion of North Africa (November 1942) an engaging and enthusiastic narration. There's much interesting detail, though it's somewhat repetitive. While Langton's British accent takes a bit of getting used to, his affable tone will easily win over listeners. His weighting and emphasis of sentences is intelligent, his variation of inflection lively but natural, and his pacing excellent. Langton makes it easy to be absorbed in this story of command decisions in the early part of the war. W.M. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2014]
