Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Scott Brick’s narration imbues 'Write it When I’m Gone' with an authoritative yet empathetic tone that perfectly complements DeFrank’s journalistic approach. The audiobook is meticulously paced, capturing the essence of Ford’s reflections without rushing through them. Specific moments, such as Ford’s thoughts on Watergate and his own ascension to the presidency, are particularly compelling. However, some listeners might find the book's political focus too narrow, missing out on broader historical contexts that could have enriched its narrative. Nonetheless, it remains a powerful personal account of a pivotal moment in American politics.
