Publisher's Summary
In Helmand province in July 2006, Major Adam Jowett was given command of Easy Company, a hastily assembled and understrength unit of Paras and Royal Irish rangers. Their mission was to hold the District Centre of Musa Qala at any cost. Easy Company found themselves in a ramshackle compound, cut off and heavily outnumbered by the Taliban in the town.
In No Way Out, Adam evokes the heat and chaos of battle as the Taliban hit Easy Company with wave after wave of brutal attack. He describes what it was like to have responsibility for the lives of his men as they fought back heroically over 21 days and nights of relentless, nerve-shredding combat. Finally, as they came down to their last rounds and death stared Easy Company in the face, the siege took an extraordinary turn....
Powerful, highly charged and moving, No Way Out is Adam's tribute to the men of Easy Company who paid a heavy price for serving their country.

Shattering
An incredible account of the front line action against the Taliban. Adam and his brave men were put in an impossible situation yet through hard grit and determination they succeeded in fending off the enemy. This is the realest, rawest and most exhilarating book I’ve read on the war in Afghanistan. Those lads are heroes, nothing but respect!

I was in two minds whether to listen to this book as I am myself a bereaved Mom, however this book is gripping and tells the true story of the heroism of our Soldiers, their camaraderie and their strength. The pride of Major Adam Jowett shines through. (I loved the little mentions of my Son James' Regiment HCR). I will remember this as the true version of events during that time. you are so right to be proud of yourself Adam and Easy Company for your courage, strength, humour and endeavour in such a perilous situation. The heroism of you all shines through in every word. What an amazing band of brothers. God bless X

A brilliant story that I have yet to hear!
Author please please get a decent narrator! I got 8 minutes in to Chapter 2 (Chapter 1 is the intro) and turned off, the robotic voice is excruciating painful to listen to. I know the story behind the book, I even know one of the soldiers involved and as such will do it justice and but the physical book.
When the narrator pronounced Op Banner as Oh Pee Banner I thought it was an error but it got me listening closely, the voice is human but it sounds robotic like its been loaded on to a computer that then reads the dialogue........when it pronounced Gornji Vakuf worse than Siri I turned off.
This book requires passion when it's read, sadly the voice lacks anything!

Monotone narrater killed it :(
Really tried hard with this book because the story is good, but unfortunately to listen to its not good!.
He just sounds flat all the time even when the author is describing combat scenes the narrator doesn’t convey the intensity in his voice which is really disengaging!.
His voice would be better suited for educational material definitely not a book of this kind.

A gripping account enhanced by a talented narrator. I feel that the epilogue should have been a prologue. To allow the authors story to say bollocks to his critics.

And what about that rollercoaster of emotions Easy company endured over those few short weeks. You are true heros and the ultimate source of inspiration for me. BZ...

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rocked—in almost every sense of the word—by two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

Brunhild was a foreign princess, raised to be married off for the sake of alliance-building. Her sister-in-law Fredegund started out as a lowly palace slave. And yet - in sixth-century Merovingian France, where women were excluded from noble succession and royal politics was a blood sport - these two iron-willed strategists reigned over vast realms, changing the face of Europe.

When Money Dies is the classic history of what happens when a nations currency depreciates beyond recovery. In 1923, with its currency effectively worthless (the exchange rate in December of that year was one dollar to 4,200,000,000,000 marks), the German republic was all but reduced to a barter economy. Expensive cigars, artworks, and jewels were routinely exchanged for staples such as bread; a cinema ticket could be bought for a lump of coal; and a bottle of paraffin for a silk shirt....

Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure: namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers that made The Right Stuff a classic.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.
