" Very enlightening connection made between leadership and friendships "

" Interest and easy read. "

" An interesting look at some of the personal history of the author "

" A short audiobook, but I didn't listen to all of it. I mostly got the end, which was about his father. That part was very sweet. "

" This is a great look at male friendships. It's short and goes quick. I gave this book as a gift to my groomsmen. "

" several short stories about friendship. good, quick read. "

" Some of this book was solidly okay, but some of it was pretty good. I liked reading about some of the strong friendships of great historical characters. "

" A little disappointing, but maybe that is because I am of the female persuasion. Ambrose' book, "Undaunted Courage" is the seminal novel on Lewis and Clark. "

" This is an author I like and the book was a quick read about friendship. Interesting insight of his personal friendships as well as some historical figures like Eisenhower and Patton, Lewis and Clark, Easy Company in WW II, and others. A good book. "

" Good book, great topic that us alpha men rarely talk about. Appreciate the friend that recommended this read. "

" Very personal but very much appreciated the portion on Eisenhower. "

" Listened to this one on a trip. Good car book. "

" I need to add this to my favorites list. Mr. Ambrose makes a strong argument for a man's need for male relationships. It made me realize that I hadn't done enough to foster the male relationships in my life, so I made an effort to start doing that. It's a quick, good read. "

" Another great story by Stephen Ambrose. If you want to know how/who/where the railroads were built and joined east/west, then this is the book. "

" I've always like railroads, but this book made me even more interested. It's really amazing what these men accomplished, and I wonder if it could even be done today if it had to be again... "

" The building of the Transcontinental Railroad. A great demonstration of what America is capable of. "

" A bit repetitive, but very informative of the inner workings of government and big business. "

" An informative read but not as engaging as some other Ambrose books. "

" Stephen Ambrose tells the story of the Transcontinental Railroad, which is a big story, but he breaks it up into easily digestible bits, with lots of human interest along the way. I had not realized Abraham Lincoln's interest and expertise in railroads. "

" Nothing Like it in the World was one of the more interesting history books I've read. The detail in the book and profiles of various important characters in the westward expansion of the U.S. rails system is terrific. "

" How the west was REALLY won... "

" A good summary of an important event that has faded in these times. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I can't imagine there is any better one volume source on the building of the first transcontinental railroad. Very easy to read and very enjoyable. "
