How did the Wendels, one of New York’s most famous Gilded Age families, disappear from history? The Wendels built a fortune from New York real estate, and rubbed shoulders with the Astors, Vanderbilts, and Stuyvesants. But as the 19th century came to an end, the Wendel family tore itself apart. Following six years of painstaking archival research, Claire Prentice has prised open the door of the Wendels’ Fifth Avenue mansion—dubbed “the house of mystery” by the press—to reveal a fascinating and dysfunctional family imprisoned in a gilded cage.

Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure: namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers that made The Right Stuff a classic.

The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers.

History made digestible and interesting!
This audiobook covers aspects of the entire history of the US - from 15,000 BCE all the way to the present day. Split up into 12 Chapters across 6 parts, you're taken on a journey through the stories that make up the foundation of what the United States is today.
The choice of narrator also perfectly fits the theme of the book. It is as if you are learning directly from an American historian.
Overall a great audiobook for those who are wanting to pass the time in a car ride or on a commute somewhere, or are just looking for something to listen to for winding down after a long day. The format makes it digestible for the average listener - meaning you don't have to be a history buff to enjoy it! (But of course history buffs will love this too!)

Surprisingly interesting!
This is an 8 hour treasure trove of knowledge about America. Right from the start and right through to now, it details all major elements of American history. I found it really interesting hearing about the struggles and complexities of creating a country where so many different cultures and colonies had to been drawn together. The importance of the values and conditions set down by the 'founding fathers' were pivotal and created something that all 'American's' could come together and build from. This is well narrated and good to listen to...really clear.
