Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Ted Barker’s commanding voice makes ‘The Devil We Know’ an immersive experience. His pacing is impeccable, allowing Baer's meticulously crafted narrative to unfold naturally without feeling rushed. The story elements are well-developed, particularly the portrayal of Iran’s political maneuvering and its impact on global stability. However, some listeners might find the detailed historical background a bit dense at times, potentially slowing down the momentum for those more interested in the immediate geopolitical implications. Overall, this audiobook is a compelling exploration into the shadowy world of international relations that both informs and entertains.
