Bryan Burrough possesses the rare ability to blend his signature—and award-winning—financial reporting with elements of true crime and narrative history, making him a literary unicorn of sorts. He asks questions in his story-telling that allow both him and the listener to connect with each topic on a deeper level, while the only question you’ll be left with once finished is where can I get more from Bryan? —Kyle, Audible Editor

    • The 1930s
    • The 1930s evoke images of the Great Depression, astounding rates of poverty and unemployment, and one of the most impressive crime waves in American history. Telling the story of criminals like Machine Gun Kelly, Bonnie and Clyde, and John Dillinger, Bryan Burrough presents an incredible account of the depression-era robbers who garnered their notoriety and fame committing bank robberies, stick-ups, and shake-downs of the very institutions that the downtrodden public saw as robbing them first. Thrilling, fast-paced, and full of real-world twists and turns, Public Enemies shows how the fledgling FBI managed to use the birth of forensics to its advantage as it transformed itself into what would become the largest law enforcement agency in the world, helmed by the man who would someday become as feared in Washington as the criminals he pursued.

    • The 1940s - 1980s
    • Although petroleum oil has been used for a variety of purposes for thousands of years, the true Age of Oil has had profound impacts on the economy, politics, and industry of Texas. And even today the irresistibility of these Texas oil billionaires is evident in popular culture—from soap operas like Dallas to franchise sports teams, celebrity friends, and more. With The Big Rich, Bryan Burrough strikes liquid gold as he weaves together the intricate and intimate details of the men behind the biggest names and the largest fortunes of the Texas Oil industry: Hugh Roy Cullen, Clint Murchison, Sid Richardson, and H.L. Hunt. Burrough’s seamless narrative structure and James Jenner’s masterful performance make it easy to get caught up in the Romeo and Juliet struggles between oil barons, their quest for domination, and the bitter feuds, scandals, and bankruptcies that took them down even faster than they raised them up.

    • The 1960s - 1970s
    • The 1960s kicked off a prolific era of serial murders in the United States that lasted for 20 years. The likes of the Manson Family, Son of Sam, the Zodiac Killer, John Wayne Gacy, and Ted Bundy all emerged during this grisly time in our history, striking fear in the lives of Americans from coast to coast. And those are just the killers we have all heard of. In The Demon Next Door, Bryan Burrough brings another serial killer from this time to the forefront, a killer with all the telltale adolescent signs of a potential dark future that were overlooked and brushed aside by the powers that be in his small Texas hometown, allowing him to blossom into a monster. This is Burrough’s narrative style at its best, and a sober reminder that monsters do live among us. A must-listen for true crime enthusiasts everywhere.

    • The 1970s
    • While the 1970s may have brought us Star Wars and disco, they also brought destruction and terror from groups such as the Black Liberation Army, the Weather Underground, and the Symbionese Liberation Army. Days of Rage is a masterful chronicle of the radical infatuations that defined the 70s, and the FBI’s bumbling opposition to the sub-culture at large. This is undoubtedly a vital entry into the annals of modern American history, from one of the most brilliant historians of our time, performed by iconic narrator Ray Porter.
