The Angry Hills

By: Leon Uris

Narrated by: Will Damron

Just as World War II threatens to break out, Mike Morrison arrives in Greece to collect his late wife’s inheritance. Hoping to quickly finish his business and leave before German troops invade, Morrison’s plans are derailed when he receives a letter listing the names of Greek patriots pretending to be German collaborators, a list Nazi strategists desperately need. With the outcome of the war hinging on Morrison’s ability to protect the letter, he embarks on an adventure across Greece in an effort to evade Nazi troops and keep the letter from falling into enemy hands.

Based on the diaries of Leon Uris’s uncle, this action-packed thriller will keep listeners in suspense until the very end. A 1959 film adaptation starred Robert Mitchum and Stanley Baker.

entertaining

entertaining story but definitely not to be compared to Leon Iris's other books. reads like a mystery

Not Uris’s best work

It feels like a novel that Uris banged out in the hopes of getting a screenplay deal in the early ‘60’s. The characters are two-dimensional at best.

historical fiction WW2 fast moving adventure

the story itself was first rate, the reader was first rate, the entire production was first rate. it was one of those books that I just could not put down until I finished it. the story was fast moving the reader knew how to queue in all the nuances when it came to language and titles and names. I would recommend this book in any book written by Ian Toll. especially the historical fictions around world war II.

Great Book!

It kept me in suspense. The voice performance was excellent. I am glad it was a short book.

Could not put it down

I loved the whole story. This kept me on the edge from beginning to end.

Suspense and adventure

Good story, good characters and good narration. I enjoyed this unusual war story. I recommend it to all.

title should be idiot goes to war.

Don't bother with this unless you like a tedious story of an incompetent mr magoo with no balls.
