À propos de cet audio

Forged during the tumultuous but triumphant postwar years when America came of age as a world power, The Irony of American History is more relevant now than ever before. Cited by politicians as diverse as Hillary Clinton and John McCain, Niebuhr's masterpiece on the incongruity between personal ideals and political reality is both an indictment of American moral complacency and a warning against the arrogance of virtue.

Impassioned, eloquent, and deeply perceptive, Niebuhr's wisdom will cause listeners to rethink their assumptions about right and wrong, war and peace.

Great overall narration! I listened at double speed and followed along in the book, it was an enjoyable experience.

Great Listen

Niebuhr is great, but the narration here is *awful.* The main problem is that the narrator reads at breakneck speed. Now that may not be a problem in a novel, but when it comes to philosophy or any type of involved, intricate argument, reading this fast is absolutely deadly. It's simply impossible to process the ideas at that rate. So unless you have an exceptional ability to process information, I strongly recommend buying the book instead. A shame because I was really looking forward to this.

Avoid this one
