Anyone have any recommendations for audio books on CD (yes I know, CD is outdated and no OT baller uses them). More specifically the Pacific theatre.

Fiction or non fiction?

Jeff Shaara has written 4 novels about WW2 a trilogy and one specifically about the Pacific theater. I know the trilogy is on audible so I assume you can find it on CD.

The Amazon description of the final storm:

quote:

With the war in Europe winding down in the spring of 1945, the United States turns its vast military resources toward a furious assault on the last great stepping-stone to Japan—the heavily fortified island of Okinawa. The three-month battle in the Pacific theater will feature some of the most vicious combat of the entire Second World War, as American troops confront an enemy that would rather be slaughtered than experience the shame of surrender. Meanwhile, stateside, a different kind of campaign is being waged in secret: the development of a weapon so powerful, not even the scientists who build it know just what they are about to unleash. Colonel Paul Tibbets, one of the finest bomber pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps, is selected to lead the mission to drop the horrific new weapon on a Japanese city. As President Harry S Truman mulls his options and Japanese physician Okiro Hamishita cares for patients at a clinic near Hiroshima, citizens on the home front await the day of reckoning that everyone knows is coming.

Nonfiction. I just bought The Battle Of Midway and The Last Stand Of The Tin Can Sailors and figured with how I'm on the road a lot more now books alike would be a good thing.

With the Old Guard is an excellent book.

Check and see if your local library uses the overdrive app for audio books. Download em all for free.

Why the hell is CD a requirement? Get an Ipod or download Audiobook's app to your phone and you can sign up for Audiobook and buy any number of different books.

It's really not hard and it will make the process infinitely easier and more convenient for you.

My stereo doesn't have anot auxiliary port. I could use headphones but I have a cd player that holds 10 CD's and I can just pick which one I want playing.

I just don't like having headphones in while driving.
