Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Roger Davis's narration in 'Nuclear Folly' is nothing short of extraordinary. His clear, measured tone perfectly balances the gravity and urgency of the Cuban Missile Crisis. As Plokhy delves into the complex web of political maneuvering and personal decisions that nearly brought about a nuclear confrontation, Davis ensures each character’s voice comes through with authenticity and nuance. However, at times, the rapid pace might leave listeners feeling slightly rushed. Overall, this audiobook is a compelling listen for history buffs and anyone interested in geopolitical tension.
