Wow, I came right down to the line in finishing this epic book, The Candy Bombers. I started out in July listening to it, but realized I could read faster than the folksy pace of the audiobook narrator. Author Andrei Cherny did a great job weaving all the various content together to make sense of a complicated bit of history. Historical figures were given a breath of life that only narrative nonfiction can achieve, and I certainly found the book compelling and comprehensive, if rather long. Here's a CBS interview with Andrei Cherny and pilot Hal Halvorsen. What did you think of the book?
