"okay the will patton's sounds way too similar to Trump at least to me which kinda unnerved me and I didn't like the lack of context to the chapter on Cuba and the Bay of Pigs invasion. I did appreciate the reality in the graphic description of Kennedy's death. I had no idea it was that graphic or bloody or traumatic. it was definitely still respectful too but it wasn't described with rose colored glasses either. this really drew me in and wanted to keep me reading for sure. very fascinating listen."
