Summary

The Russian Revolution was as red as blood. The Bolsheviks promised that they were building a new society, a workers’ paradise that would change the nature of mankind itself. What they ended up constructing was the largest prison the world had ever seen: a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that spanned half the globe.

It was a country where people's lives meant nothing, less than nothing—and they knew it. But no matter what atrocity that the Soviets committed—the secret police, the torture chambers, the show trials, the labor camps, and the mass starvation—there was always someone in the West rushing to justify their bloodshed. For decades, it seemed perfectly obvious that the USSR wasn’t going anywhere—until it vanished from the face of the earth, gradually, and then suddenly. This is the story of the rise and fall of that evil empire, and why it is so important for the good to never give up hope. This is The White Pill.

Terrible narration!!!

I'm very interested in the content of this book, but I'm struggling to listen to the narrator, who doesn't even draw a breath between the words, let alone between the sentences. Even when slowing it down slightly, it's very difficult to process what's being said. It's completely devoid of any punctuation and emotion, and it sounds as if he is proofreading and he can't wait to get to the end!
As one of the previous readers pointed out, it shouldn't have been read by the author. I feel cheated!

author should never read their books!

The narration is simply awful. Too fast, completely distracting, he sounds like he's in a race to the end. he completely ignores his own punctuation, no emphasis on key moments, another example of why an author should never read his own work. I was looking forward to this book but am having to turn it off after 10 minutes the narration is so jarring.

Content - 10/10, delivery 3/10

This is why voice actors exist. MM’s delivery is too fast - even when slowed to 0.9x, this voice lacks variation and is very challenging to listen to. The content is fascinating and I just wish he had got a voice actor to record the audio. I will now buy the hard copy to reread certain sections. Great book - highly recommend but be warned the audio is not a pleasant experience

Everyone needs to read this!

A very concise and impressive potted history of the folly of collectivism from both the western and Russian perspective during the 20th century. Essential reading!

Amazing and brutal

It was one of the most horrifyingly brilliant books I've ever read. The atrocities of communism over the last century have been retaught through Michael Malice. Amazingly written and sometimes with a very grim humour.

learn from our mistakes!

The book puts it simple: it's a necessity for people of this day and age to acknowledge and learn about the dangers of socialism/collectivism.
For these atrocities, not to understand by people in a free society, can never happen again.

Fascinating book, narration not so.

Although a fascinating book. Michael Malice isn't a very good reader. He talks fast and monotone making it sound like one 9 hour rapidly spoken sentence making it difficult to follow without going back sometimes. A new recording with a different reader would do it more justice.

Nevertheless, the content made me go though with the book speaking to the exellence of the stories being told. It is wonderfully written and a huge recommendation on my part.

There is one mistake, Pope Adrianus IV was pope from 1552 to 1553 not 1952 to 1953 as Malice reads.

Great book. However the performance is anxeity inducing. Feels like theres not a single paus in the entire book. Playback represent like 1.5x speed.

Slow and and take a breath

Like others have mentioned, Michael's narration is incredibly fast. With a lack of punctuation and nuance, I found it almost impossible to follow the book. The book itself might be good, but after listening to it in its entirety, I couldn't provide a synopsis.
