Would I recommend it ? Yes

Like always I want to say a huge thank you to the publisher Hachette Audio, the authors Brendan Simms, Charlie Laderman well as to Nita Basu and Jasmine Normall ,because with out their hard work I wouldn't be finding new authors or new audiobooks to like . And with out them I would have never knew about this one at all.In fact I was like lets just go and see what new ones they had to offer since the month before I didn't see any that I wanted to read/listing to and this time around I found not one but 6 of them and this one of the 6 . As soon as I saw it , I was like yes please because it fit in to 3 things I love : nonfiction about WW 2, history and it was unabridged which is the best way to read or even listing to books and audiobooks. As for the story itself, it was revealing,and a captivating account of the five historically significant days from December 6th to December 11th, 1941. The story just came to life right before your eyes and the narrator does an amazing job of bring it all together , the people , the history as well as the places that he talks about. There was times I would say I'll just listen to one more chapter but then I would end up listing to 4 or five chapters because I was hooked.
A riveting account of the five most crucial days in twentieth-century diplomatic history: from Pearl Harbor to Hitler’s declaration of war on the United States
By early December 1941, war had changed much of the world beyond recognition. Nazi Germany occupied most of the European continent, while in Asia, the Second Sino-Japanese War had turned China into a battleground. But these conflicts were not yet inextricably linked—and the United States remained at peace.
Hitler’s American Gamble recounts the five days that upended everything: December 7 to 11. Tracing developments in real time and backed by deep archival research, historians Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman show how Hitler’s intervention was not the foolhardy decision of a man so bloodthirsty that he forgot all strategy, but a calculated risk that can only be understood in a truly global context. This book reveals how December 11, not Pearl Harbor, was the real watershed that created a world war and transformed international history.
