Thanks for checking these sections. I have done some close listening and transcribing, and I have figured out why so many of the sections seem to have repeats in the intro. For those sections which are the first part of a two-part chapter, there is an extra sentence in the introduction which sounds like a repeat. This sentence is actually the end of the introduction, which is followed by the narrator reading the text from the page. We needed to break many of the chapters into two sections, because they were too long.

You can see what I mean below if you are interested. In any case, can these introductions stand as is? The producer believes that the audio does indeed follow the Librivox script, although it does sound a little clunky when followed by reading the words as they appear on the page. It would take some work to go back and find just the right sentence to cut out. If that's what needs to be done, we can do it, but if we can let these audio sections stand as is, that would be ideal for us. Thanks.

For example:

Section 28 (has repeats):

“Chapter 16, Part One. Going West April to August 2005 of the U.S. Army in the Iraq War Volume 1. By U.S. Army Operation Iraqi Freedom Study Group. This Librivox recording is in the public domain. Read by Adam Koebel. Chapter 16 Part One. Going West April to August 2005.

Chapter 16 Going West April to August 2005. Page 407.

During the waning days…”


Section 29 (does not have repeats because it is part two):

“Chapter 16, Part Two. Going West April to August 2005 of the U.S. Army in the Iraq War Volume 1. By U.S. Army Operation Iraqi Freedom Study Group. This Librivox recording is in the public domain. Read by Adam Koebel.

Chapter 16, Part Two. Going West April to August 2005.

“The Western Euphrates…”



Section 30 (repeats):

“Chapter 17, Part One. Innovation in the Face of War Summer to Fall 2005 of the U.S. Army in the Iraq War Volume 1. By U.S. Army Operation Iraqi Freedom Study Group. This Librivox recording is in the public domain. Read by Adam Koebel. Chapter 17, Part One. Innovation in the Face of War Summer to Fall 2005.

Chapter 17 Innovation in the Face of War Summer to Fall 2005. Page 445.”

Reed, I'll give this some thought. For the dedicated listener, this 'clunkiness' would not be a concern. Still, the introduction could be streamlined without much difficulty.
