Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

John Pruden's narration brings Hackworth's words to life with a blend of gravitas and authenticity that is both commanding and introspective. The audiobook covers Hackworth’s transformation from a battle-hardened hero to a controversial whistleblower, making it an essential listen for anyone interested in the inner workings of military command during the Vietnam War era. However, some sections are overly technical, which might slow down the narrative pace. Overall, 'About Face' is a profound exploration that challenges conventional notions of patriotism and duty.
