That is exceptionally interesting. I have never encountered a book that’s a collection of real life stories and perseverance during one of the darkest periods of human history. I’m already inspired. I will definitely check this one out.

Definitely not my cup of tea, because the book sounds way too much like a memoir, which is a genre I greatly dislike, and I don't feel comfortable with a military setting, even if it is just the Naval Academy. Sorry, I prefer to skip, but congratulate with BOTD, anyway!

'Official Review: Shaking Up the World: Stories of the Naval Academy' by James D. Paulk briefly analyzes the nonfiction book's content. It brings to our attention the noteworthy features of the book. The author tells the stories of his Naval Academy classmates from 1957. Their lives illuminate many worldwide events. The stories describe tough circumstances and display a sense of unity and light-heartedness. It was great to learn that the book contains elements of suspense and exploration!

Post by Bettny Andrade »

This reading is the next part of a book that precedes it, where the stories of the other members of the naval academy are told, where each of the stories tells what happened to each one of them. This book concentrates each story and chronology in a very logical and orderly way so that the whole idea is captured without delay.

Seems like a wholesome collection of historical memoirs. In this book, the author shares stories of his classmates from the Naval Academy. It provides fascinating insights into individual accomplishments. Some of them went on to great achievement and became important figures. That's exceptionally interesting. Thank you for a well-written review.

Shaking Up The World" by James D Paulk Jr, a book that features a collection of stories of classmates back in 1957. It will be great to read about the inventions and adventures each of them encountered. A book of inspiration.

Thank you for your review. What an amazing book about the Naval Academy Class of 1957 graduates. I read the first chapter about the author's experience of being a hostage. I liked how he said that every day has been a good day after that. This is a book for everyone to learn about bravery and perseverance and be thankful for the service of all these men and their accomplishments.

Very cool! I love the idea of every person we meet having a full lifelong story (that we may/may never get to know). It's really awesome that this author thought that everyone's stories were important to share.
