https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Black Fortunes Author: Shomari Wills Narrator: Ron Butler Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Harper Audio Genres: History, American Summary: The astonishing untold history of America's first black millionaires - former slaves who endured incredible challenges to amass and maintain their wealth for a century, from the Jacksonian period to the Roaring '20s - self-made entrepreneurs whose unknown success mirrored that of American business heroes such as Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and Thomas Edison. While Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Michael Jordan, and Will Smith are among the estimated 35,000 black millionaires in the nation today, these famous celebrities were not the first blacks to reach the storied 1 percent. Between the years of 1830 and 1927, as the last generation of blacks born into slavery were reaching maturity, a small group of smart, tenacious, and daring men and women broke new ground to attain the highest levels of financial success. Black Fortunes is an intriguing look at these remarkable individuals, including Napoleon Bonaparte Drew - author Shomari Wills' great-great-great-grandfather - the first black man in Powhatan County (contemporary Richmond) to own property in post-Civil War Virginia. His achievements were matched by five other unknown black entrepreneurs including: A fresh, little-known chapter in the nation's story - a blend of Hidden Figures, Titan, and The Tycoons - Black Fortunes illuminates the birth of the black business titan and the emergence of the black marketplace in America as never before.

| An African American and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz | Audiobook | 30 janv. 2018 | 09:04:00 | |

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: An African American and Latinx History of the United States Author: Paul Ortiz Narrator: J. D. Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Beacon Press Genres: History, American Summary: An intersectional history of the shared struggle for African American and Latinx civil rights Spanning more than 200 years, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history arguing that the "Global South" was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress, as exalted by widely taught formulations such as "manifest destiny" and "Jacksonian democracy," and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms American history into the story of the working class organizing against imperialism. In precise detail, Ortiz traces this untold history from the Jim Crow-esque racial segregation of the Southwest, the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the 20th century, to May 1, 2006, International Workers' Day, when migrant laborers - Chicana/os, Afro-Cubanos, and immigrants from nearly every continent on earth - united in resistance on the first "Day Without Immigrants". Incisive and timely, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a bottom-up history told from the viewpoint of African American and Latinx activists and revealing the radically different ways people of the diaspora addressed issues still plaguing the United States today.

| A More Beautiful and Terrible History by Jeanne Theoharis | Audiobook | 30 janv. 2018 | 11:17:00 | |

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: A More Beautiful and Terrible History Author: Jeanne Theoharis Narrator: Kim Staunton Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Beacon Press Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: Explodes the fables that have been created about the civil rights movement The civil rights movement has become national legend, lauded by presidents from Reagan to Obama to Trump, as proof of the power of American democracy. This fable, featuring dreamy heroes and accidental heroines, has shuttered the movement firmly in the past, whitewashed the forces that stood in its way, and diminished its scope. And it is used perniciously in our own times to chastise present-day movements and obscure contemporary injustice. In A More Beautiful and Terrible History, award-winning historian Jeanne Theoharis dissects this national mythmaking, teasing apart the accepted stories to show them in a strikingly different light. We see Rosa Parks as not simply a bus lady but a lifelong criminal justice activist and radical; Martin Luther King Jr. as challenging not only Southern sheriffs but Northern liberals, too; and Coretta Scott King as not only a "helpmate" but a lifelong economic justice and peace activist who pushed her husband's activism in these directions. Moving from "the histories we get" to "the histories we need", Theoharis challenges nine key aspects of the fable to reveal the diversity of people, especially women and young people, who led the movement; the work and disruption it took; the role of the media and "polite racism" in maintaining injustice; and the immense barriers and repression activists faced. Theoharis makes us reckon with the fact that far from being acceptable, passive, or unified, the civil rights movement was unpopular, disruptive, and courageously persevering. Activists embraced an expansive vision of justice - which a majority of Americans opposed and which the federal government feared. By showing us the complex reality of the movement, the power of its organizing, and the beauty and scope of the vision, Theoharis proves that there was nothing natural or inevitable about the progress that occurred. A More Beautiful and Terrible History will change our historical frame, revealing the richness of our civil rights legacy, the uncomfortable mirror it holds to the nation, and the crucial work that remains to be done.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Título: Todo lo que debe saber sobre la 1 Guerra Mundial [Everything you need to know about the 1st World War] Autor: Jesús Hernández Narrador: Eduardo Wasveiler Formato: Unabridged Duración: 9 hrs and 22 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18 Editor: Audible Studios Categorías: History, 20th Century Resumen: En Junio de 1914 el asesinato del archiduque Francisco Fernando de Austria provocó la primera "guerra total" de la historia: un conflicto que cambiará el destino del mundo. Normalmente no se presta a la Primera Guerra Mundial la debida atención, las estanterías, rebosantes de libros sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial, no tienen mucho sitio para su predecesora. Esta fantástica obra de Jesús Hernández viene a arrojar luz sobre este conflicto fundamental para entender gran parte de los enfrentamientos políticos del S.XX, como la propia Segunda Guerra Mundial, y algunos de los que aún siguen abiertos en pleno S.XXI, por ejemplo, los combates entre israelíes y palestinos. En Todo lo que debe saber sobre la Primera Guerra Mundial conoceremos no sólo los datos más importantes de la contienda, también misterios que aún no han sido resueltos, leyendas y mitos, curiosidades históricas, y una descripción de la dureza de la vida en las trincheras. Pone Jesús Hernández sus abundantes conocimientos a disposición de un estilo narrativo impecable, ágil y exacto, y consigue recrear las escenas más sobresalientes del resurgimiento milagroso del ejército francés que salvó París en 1914, o la espontánea tregua navideña del frente oriental, o el fracaso de las batallas de Chemin des Dammes y de Passchendeale donde unos oficiales engreídos enviaron a una muerte segura a miles de soldados. Además de aclararnos misterios como la desaparición del regimiento de Norfolk en Turquía y explicarnos el origen de leyendas como la de que un ejército de arqueros fantasmas ayudaron a los aliados.

| Hippie Food by Jonathan Kauffman | Audiobook | 23 janv. 2018 | 09:13:00 | |
Listen to full audiobooks for free on :
https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Hippie Food Author: Jonathan Kauffman Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-18 Publisher: Harper Audio Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: An enlightening narrative history - an entertaining fusion of Tom Wolfe and Michael Pollan - that traces the colorful origins of once unconventional foods and the diverse fringe movements, charismatic gurus, and counterculture elements that brought them to the mainstream and created a distinctly American cuisine. Food writer Jonathan Kauffman journeys back more than half a century - to the 1960s and 1970s - to tell the story of how a coterie of unusual men and women embraced an alternative lifestyle that would ultimately change how modern Americans eat. Impeccably researched, Hippie Food chronicles how the longhairs, revolutionaries, and back-to-the-landers rejected the square establishment of President Richard Nixon's America and turned to a more idealistic and wholesome communal way of life and food. From the mystical rock-and-roll cult known as the Source Family and its legendary vegetarian restaurant in Hollywood to the Diggers' brown bread in the Summer of Love to the rise of the co-op and the origins of the organic food craze, Kauffman reveals how today's quotidian whole-foods staples - including sprouts, tofu, yogurt, brown rice, and whole-grain bread - were introduced and eventually became part of our diets. From coast to coast, through Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Vermont, Kauffman tracks hippie food's journey from niche oddity to a cuisine that hit every corner of this country. A slick mix of gonzo playfulness, evocative detail, skillful pacing, and elegant writing, Hippie Food is a lively, engaging, and informative listen that deepens our understanding of our culture and our lives today.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Título: Breve historia de Winston Churchill [A Brief History of Winston Churchill] Autor: José-Vidal Pelaz López Narrador: Juanmi Diez Formato: Unabridged Duración: 9 hrs and 6 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18 Editor: Audible Studios Categorías: History, 20th Century Resumen: "Es por ello que escuchar Breve historia de Winston Churchill es una de las experiencias más gratas y emocionantes que se pueden tener en estos momentos yque le hará comprender mucas de las claves de la actual situación mundial, pues la sola presencia de este líder marcó el pasado y presente del mundo en el que vivimos." (historiaconminusculas.blogspot.com.es) Combinando tres facetas fundamentales de la vida de Winston Churchill - su vida privada, su trayectoria políticay bélica, y el contexto histórico en el que ambas se desarrollaron-, Breve Historia de Winston Churchill nos presenta la biografía del político que gobernó Inglaterra durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero que, además, luchó en la Guerra del 98, en la Guerra de los Boers, que participó en la Primera Guerra Mundial como Lord del Almirantazgo y asistió al duro proceso de descolonización de Inglaterra. José-Vidal Pelaz López nos presenta su vida de un modo ameno y accesible a cualquier oyenteinteresado en esta figura imprescindible del S. XX. Churchill nace en 1874 hijo de un lord de la época victoriana y de una bella americana, crece en plena época de esplendor del Imperio victoriano, y asiste al progresivo declive del imperio. La vida política de Churchill está marcada por su actividad constante y por procesos decrisis y gloria que marcan el perfil de un hombre que supoimplicarse en todos sus proyectos hasta sus últimas consecuencias. Miembro del los liberales y de los conservadores ingleses; dirigente de varios ministeriospero destituido tras el desastre de Gallípolli en la Primera Guerra Mundial; apartado de la política desde 1929 a 1939 y elegido Primer Ministro al año siguiente; capaz deenfrentarse en solitario a la Alemania del Führer, de lograr un acuerdo con E.E.U.U. y Rusia que cambiará el sentido de la guerra, pero incapaz de ser reelegido en 1945; y, en un último golpe de carisma, elegido de nuevo como Primer Ministro en 1951, con 71 años, en plena Guerra Fría: la vida de Churchill es una lección de determinación y compromiso, pero también un relato apasionante y turbulento como el siglo que le tocó administrar.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: In Broad Daylight Author: Patrick Desbois Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-18 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: In The Holocaust by Bullets, Father Patrick Desbois documented for the first time the murder of 1.5 million Jews in Ukraine during World War II, based on wartime documents, interviews with locals, and the application of modern forensic practices on long-hidden gravesites. Nearly a decade of further work by his team, drawing on interviews with 5,000 neighbors of the Jews, has resulted in stunning new findings about the extent and nature of the genocide. The mass killings took place across the Eastern Front, in seven countries formerly part of the Soviet Union invaded by Nazi Germany. They followed a secret template, or repeatable script, that included a timetable and involved local inhabitants in the mechanics of death to ensure complicity, whether it was to cook for the killers; to clear, dig, and cover the graves; to witness their Jewish neighbors being marched off; or to take part in the slaughter. Narrating in lucid, powerful prose that has the immediacy of a crime report, Father Desbois assembles a chilling account of how, concretely, these events took place in village after village, from the selection of the date to the twenty-four-hour period in which the mass murders unfolded. Today, such groups as ISIS put into practice the Nazis' lessons on making genocide efficient. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: World War II Auschwitz: A History from Beginning to End Author: Hourly History Narrator: Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr Language: English Release date: 01-22-18 Publisher: Hourly History Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: Auschwitz is a monument to the barbaric inhumanity of the Nazi regime. It is the site where more than one million people were systematically tortured and killed in support of Adolf Hitlers determination to eradicate entire populations that he viewed as racially impure. Dr. Josef Mengele conducted horrific experiments on live victims, treating his subjects as if they werent human. The Jews, homosexuals, Communists, Jehovahs Witnesses, and the mentally and physically disabled were less than human to the Nazis. The Final Solution, a cornerstone of Nazi ideology, enacted a devastating sentence upon people whose only crime was their ethnic origin or their religious and political beliefs. But the voices of Auschwitz continue to be heard. Anne Franks diary speaks for all the innocent who were sent there. Elie Wiesel spent his life speaking out against the horrors he and others endured at Auschwitz. The recorded histories of the survivors of the camps keep the memories alive for generations whose only knowledge of the Holocaust would otherwise be through a school assignment to read The Diary of Anne Frank or by watching a movie like Schindlers List. Auschwitz holds a bizarre fascination for those who hear about it. How could such evil thrive? How could an entire nation surrender to the rantings of a diabolical man who sought revenge against the followers of a religion? The names reverberate in a gallery of maniacs who purported to be leaders: Hitler, Goebbels, Mengele, Goering, Himmler, and the countless others who supported them.

Johnston Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 01-19-18 Publisher: We Can't Be Beat LLC Genres: History, 21st Century Summary: In 1979, the seeds of social media were sown by Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis, and the result of that action would give rise to a monster that would not only change the world of communication forever, but also have great impact in all our lives. However, no one was prepared for the ensuing chaos that would be wrought by this new trend. Every one of us crave the likes, the glamour, the followership, the sheer power to influence people worldwide; for the first time in the history of man, we can be heard and be seen by anyone on the globe connected to the Internet. That somewhat dark desire that was once hidden within us has suddenly been exposed by social media, and the world can't deal. In this audiobook, the author takes you back in time to where it all started: a brief history of human communication, from yelling and cave writings up to the birth of social media. He elaborates on the significant and obvious benefits of social media as well as its drawbacks, and provides detailed information on its mind control capabilities while proffering solutions on how we can keep our sanity as we learn to properly utilize and grow with social media.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Girl on the Velvet Swing Author: Simon Baatz Narrator: Christine Lakin Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Hachette Audio Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: From New York Times best-selling author Simon Baatz, the first comprehensive account of the murder that shocked the world. In 1901 Evelyn Nesbit, a chorus girl in the musical Florodora, dined alone with the architect Stanford White in his townhouse on 24th Street in New York. Nesbit, just 16 years old, had recently moved to the city. White was 47 and a principal in the prominent architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. As the foremost architect of his day, he was a celebrity, responsible for designing countless landmark buildings in Manhattan. That evening, after drinking champagne, Nesbit lost consciousness and awoke to find herself naked in bed with White. Telltale spots of blood on the bed sheets told her that White had raped her. She told no one about the rape until, several years later, she confided in Harry Thaw, the millionaire playboy who would later become her husband. Thaw, thirsting for revenge, shot and killed White in 1906 before hundreds of theatergoers during a performance in Madison Square Garden, a building that White had designed. The trial was a sensation that gripped the nation. Most Americans agreed with Thaw that he had been justified in killing White, but the district attorney expected to send him to the electric chair. Evelyn Nesbit's testimony was so explicit and shocking that Theodore Roosevelt himself called on the newspapers not to print it verbatim. The murder of White cast a long shadow: Harry Thaw later attempted suicide, and Evelyn Nesbit struggled for many years to escape an addiction to cocaine. The Girl on the Velvet Swing, a tale of glamour, excess, and danger, is an immersive, fascinating look at an America dominated by men of outsize fortunes and by the the women who were their victims.

Graham Narrator: Bill Izard Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 01-11-18 Publisher: Shotwell Publishing Genres: History, American Summary: For 150 years Confederate monuments and other memorials dotted the American landscape. Few people objected. After all, a third of the American people are descended from Confederate soldiers and Congress has officially and legally declared Confederates to be "American veterans". That time has passed. There is an epidemic of hate and fear sweeping the land; a wave of hostility and intolerance that shows no sign of slowing or stopping; its fury is directed at Southern symbols - flags, monuments, and other displays - in fact everything Southern now appears to be a target. Paul C. Graham has courageously examined this case of mass hysteria; a condition he has aptly dubbed "Confederaphobia". "It's one thing," writes Graham, "to acknowledge that the meaning of symbols is one of perspective. It's quite another thing to have the meaning dictated by ideologues who are not participants in the cultural tradition.... Southern symbols mean to the Southerner exactly what they say that they do...speak for those people for whom Southern identity is a living reality." Southern people are growing weary of the ongoing demonization; of being bullied and harassed; and have begun to realize that Confederaphobia is not a matter of monuments, but a campaign to expunge their identity. If you are a self-identified Southerner, you are a potential target! It's not too late to inoculate yourself from the dangerous effects of this disease, but this is only possible if you recognize the problem. The problem is not Confederate flags, monuments, markers, belt-buckles, stickers, do-dads, knick-knacks, what-nots, or Dukes of Hazzard re-runs - the problem is Confederaphobia!

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Grunts Author: John C. McManus Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: From the acclaimed author of The Dead and Those About to Die comes a sweeping narrative of six decades of combat, and an eye-opening account of the evolution of the American infantry. From the beaches of Normandy and the South Pacific Islands to the deserts of the Middle East, the American soldier has been the most indispensable - and most overlooked - factor in wartime victory. In Grunts, renowned historian John C. McManus examines 10 critical battles - from Hitler's massive assault on US soldiers at the Battle of the Bulge to counterinsurgency combat in Iraq - where the skills and courage of American troops proved the crucial difference between victory and defeat.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Most Dangerous Man in America Author: Bill Minutaglio, Steven L. Davis Narrator: Peter Ganim Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: Hachette Audio Genres: History, American Summary: From Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis, authors of the PEN Center USA award-winning Dallas 1963, comes a madcap narrative about Timothy Leary's daring prison escape and run from the law. On the moonlit evening of September 12, 1970, an ex-Harvard professor with a genius IQ studies a 12-foot high fence topped with barbed wire. A few months earlier, Dr. Timothy Leary, the High Priest of LSD, had been running a gleeful campaign for California governor against Ronald Reagan. Now, Leary is six months into a 10-year prison sentence for the crime of possessing two marijuana cigarettes. Aided by the radical Weather Underground, Leary's escape from prison is the counterculture's union of "dope and dynamite", aimed at sparking a revolution and overthrowing the government. Inside the Oval Office, President Richard Nixon drinks his way through sleepless nights as he expands the war in Vietnam and plots to unleash the United States government against his ever-expanding list of domestic enemies. Antiwar demonstrators are massing by the tens of thousands; homemade bombs are exploding everywhere; Black Panther leaders are threatening to burn down the White House; and all the while Nixon obsesses over tracking down Timothy Leary, whom he has branded "the most dangerous man in America." Based on freshly uncovered primary sources and new firsthand interviews, The Most Dangerous Man in America is an American thriller that takes listeners along for the gonzo ride of a lifetime. Spanning 28 months, President Nixon's careening, global manhunt for Dr. Timothy Leary winds its way among homegrown radicals, European aristocrats, a Black Panther outpost in Algeria, an international arms dealer, hash-smuggling hippies from the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, and secret agents on four continents, culminating in one of the trippiest journeys through the American counterculture.

It has been labeled many things: the first media war, a precursor of the First and Second World Wars, the originator of apartheid. The difference in status and resources between the superpower Great Britain and two insignificant Boer republics in southern Africa was enormous. But, against all expectation, it took the British every effort and a huge sum of money to win the war, not least by unleashing a campaign of systematic terror against the civilian population. In The Boer War, winner of the Netherland's 2013 Libris History Prize and shortlisted for the 2013 AKO Literature Prize, the author brings a completely new perspective to this chapter of South African history, critically examining the involvement of the Netherlands in the war. Furthermore, unlike other accounts, Martin Bossenbroek explores the war primarily through the experiences of three men uniquely active during the bloody conflict. They are Willem Leyds, the Dutch lawyer who was to become South African Republic state secretary and eventual European envoy; Winston Churchill, then a British war reporter; and Deneys Reitz, a young Boer commando. The vivid and engaging experiences of these three men enables a more personal and nuanced story of the war to be told, and, at the same time, offers a fresh approach to a conflict that shaped the nation-state of South Africa.

"Showdown at Waggoner Ranch" is the saga of Texas's second-largest ranch and its shambles of an inheritance left by W.T. Waggoner to his descendants. It is a history of a sliver of Texas's elite, how they made their money and how they, often scandalously, spent their time. Simultaneously, it is a nod to the cowboy lifestyle that stands at risk should the feud of the Waggoner inheritance actually put the fate of the ranch at risk. With a rollicking cast of characters - Native American chiefs, Teddy Rooosevelt, an eight-time divorcee, the best and richest of East Coast society - Gary Cartwright offers a rich exploration into the creation of an empire and its imminent downfall.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: R. E. Lee: Volume 2 Author: Douglas Southall Freeman Narrator: Charlton Griffin Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 01-05-18 Publisher: Audio Connoisseur Genres: History, American Summary: Volume Two opens in March, 1862 with Lee back in Richmond after a lengthy absence. He was shocked by the chaos and panic evident in the Confederate capital. McClellan had assembled a superbly equipped army of over 100,000 soldiers which Virginians feared might invade at any time. In May, McClellan began to move his huge Army of the Potomac up the peninsula and so close to Richmond that church steeples were within his view. The situation seemed hopeless, especially with another large Union army under General Banks to the north in the Shenandoah Valley. But in late May, after a few weeks of desultory fighting and maneuvering, General Joseph E. Johnston, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, fell wounded. Lee assumed command. By the end of June, Lee had miraculously driven all Federal forces from the state. With consummate skill, Lee reorganized the Confederate forces and during the following year, with armies half the size of the Union's, defeated one Federal invasion after the other. But time was running out for the South, and omens of coming disaster loomed. Missed opportunities and dwindling manpower were menacing signs. Then, in May, 1863, a triumphant Confederate victory at Chancellorsville was marred by dreadful news: the death of the one man Lee could not afford to lose. Listeners are urged to follow battles using the maps which Freeman himself drew, and which are included in the accompanying downloadable PDF document. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

When Homeward Bound first appeared in 1988, it forever changed how we understand Cold War America. Elaine Tyler May demonstrated that the Atomic Age and the Cold War shaped American life not just in national politics but at every level of society, from the boardroom to the bedroom. Her notion of "domestic containment" is now the standard interpretation of the era, and Homeward Bound has become a classic.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Russian Revolution of 1917 Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Bill Hare Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 01-04-18 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: The 17th century was marked by multiple pro-democratic revolutions exploding in both hemispheres. In Europe and its neighbors to the east, border-changing wars were fought incessantly. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the underlying premises of political, governmental and social structures within several European and Asian states were shaken to the core after centuries of royalty and one-family rule. By the onset of World War I, royal families began to experience a long, slow decline, with some quietly fading into the status of national symbols and others experiencing political overthrow. Some were horrified by the suddenness of a changing public, while others barely noticed. In the ensuing chaos brought about by the Great War, the last ruling family in Russia suffered the most brutal form of regime change at the hands of the Bolsheviks following a revolution in 1917, as the public outcry for individual equality mirrored the violence of the French Revolution from a prior century. The Romanov dynasty, which had enjoyed unbroken control over the throne since the early 1600s, represented a dilemma for a dissatisfied and restless workforce that nevertheless viewed the royal family through the lens of an ancient mystique. Indeed, there was plenty of mystique, as the Romanov saga was rife with intrigue, including the controversy surrounding Grigory Rasputin, suspicion directed toward the German roots of Tsarina Alexandra, and fascination with the young children of the tsar, their image buoyed by the powerful new medium of photography.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: GPS Declassified Author: Eric F. Frazier, Richard D. Easton Narrator: Douglas R. Pratt Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-04-18 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: History, 21st Century Summary: GPS Declassified examines the development of GPS from its secret, cold war military roots to its emergence as a worldwide consumer industry. Drawing on previously unexplored documents, the authors examine how military rivalries influenced the creation of GPS and shaped public perceptions about its origin. Since the United States first program to launch a satellite in the late 1950s, the nation has pursued dual paths into space - one military and secret, the other scientific and public. Among the many commercial spin-offs this approach has produced, GPS arguably boasts the greatest impact on our daily lives. Told by a son of a Navy insider - whose work helped lay the foundations for the system - and a science and technology journalist, the story chronicles the research and technological advances required for the development of GPS. The authors peek behind the scenes at pivotal events in GPS history. They note how the technology moved from the laboratory to the battlefield to the dashboard and the smartphone, and they raise the specter of how this technology and its surrounding industry affect public policy. Insights into how the system works and how it fits into a long history of advances in navigation tie into discussions of the myriad applications for GPS. Published by University of Nebraska Press. "A carefully researched, well written, fast-paced, and thoroughly enjoyable book." - Space Review "As an introduction to GPS, its history, uses, issues and concerns GPS Declassified can't be beat." - New York Journal of Books "Expertly weaves the story of GPS development and its ever-expanding use." - Choice Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: History in 30: The Life of General George S. Patton Author: Percy Bennington Narrator: Scott Clem Format: Unabridged Length: 44 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-18 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: Rommel, Guderian, Liddell-Hart, and J. F. C. Fuller were all early exponents and practitioners of armored warfare, tactics that were to break the stalemate that had characterized World War I. Advocates of the tank and, above all, speed, it was their ideas which decimated Saddam Hussein's forces in the 1990 Gulf War. But among the proponents and practitioners of armored warfare, the brash, bold, arrogant, and eccentric George S. Patton remains the world's greatest armored commander by the one yardstick that really counts: the battlefield. In 1944-1945, Patton's Third Army raced across northern Europe, covering more ground and destroying more enemy resources than any other equivalent force in history. Patton is one of America's most celebrated, but his story has its origins in the form of a shy, dyslexic boy who could cry uncontrollably and who viewed his own emotional intelligence as unmanly. Patton was a fascinating, complicated and controversial man whose life story ranges between genius, folly, and tragedy, with absolute determination the one constant theme. He was also a man constantly on the move, whether it was as an Olympic athlete or as one of the first American soldiers to work with tanks in World War I, but his life's work truly went toward revolutionizing warfare on and off the battlefield. Between the two World Wars, he wrote at length about mechanized warfare and tactics, and during the Second World War, he worked his way up colorfully, controversially, and capably, all of which made him more conspicuous during the war. Patton's shocking death just a few months after the war ended ensured that the general died at the height of his fame and would always be remembered for his legendary attitude and exploits. Few other Americans did as much for the freedom of millions as Patton did during the last century. Without Patton, the armored divisions of the American Army would have been behind the Germans in both World Wars, but this brilliant man became a foremost expert in tank warfare and became the greatest American cavalry commander of the 20th century. History in 30: The Life of General George S. Patton provides a quick but comprehensive look at the life of the general. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

When America entered the First World War in 1917, Luke became a fighter pilot in the newly formed US Army Air Service and was soon serving with a combat squadron in France. Seen as a "high-strung, excitable boy," scorned by his squadron mates, and frequently at odds with his commanders, Luke soon became one of the most revered fighter aces on the Western Front. Exhibiting great audacity and skill in combat, he quickly racked up an impressive number of air-to-air victories, many of them against heavily-defended observation balloons which few pilots dared to attack. Above and Beyond chronicles Luke's most daring mission of all on September 29, 1918, which cost him his life, and for which he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Williams Narrator: David Drummond Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, American Summary: Known to history as "Dunmore's War", the 1774 campaign against a Shawnee-led Indian confederacy in the Ohio Country marked the final time an American colonial militia took to the field in His Majesty's service and under royal command. Led by John Murray, the fourth Earl of Dunmore and royal governor of Virginia, a force of colonials including George Rogers Clark, Daniel Morgan, Michael Cresap, Adam Stephen, and Andrew Lewis successfully enforced the western border established by treaties in parts of present-day West Virginia and Kentucky. The campaign is often neglected in histories, despite its major influence on the conduct of the Revolutionary War that followed. In Dunmore's War: The Last Conflict of America's Colonial Era, award-winning historian Glenn F. Williams describes the course and importance of this campaign. Supported by extensive primary source research, the author corrects much of the folklore concerning the war and frontier fighting in general, demonstrating that the Americans did not adopt Indian tactics for wilderness fighting as is often supposed, but rather used British methods developed for fighting irregulars in the woods of Europe, while incorporating certain techniques learned from the Indians and experience gained from earlier colonial wars. As an immediate result of Dunmore's War, the frontier remained quiet for two years, giving the colonies the critical time to debate and declare independence before Britain convinced its Indian allies to resume attacks on American settlements. Ironically, at the same time Virginia militiamen were fighting under command of a king's officer, the colony was becoming one of the leaders in the move toward American independence. Although he was hailed as a hero at the end of the war, Lord Dunmore's attempt to maintain royal authority put him in direct opposition to many of the subordinates who followed him on the frontier, and in 1776 he was driven from Virginia and returned to England.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: American Holocaust Author: David E. Stannard Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, American Summary: For 400 years - from the first Spanish assaults against the Arawak people of Hispaniola in the 1490s to the US Army's massacre of Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee in the 1890s - the indigenous inhabitants of North and South America endured an unending firestorm of violence. During that time the native population of the Western Hemisphere declined by as many as 100 million people. Indeed, as historian David E. Stannard argues in this stunning new book, the European and white American destruction of the native peoples of the Americas was the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world. Stannard reveals that wherever Europeans or white Americans went, the native people were caught between imported plagues and barbarous atrocities, typically resulting in the annihilation of 95 percent of their populations. What kind of people, he asks, do such horrendous things to others? His highly provocative answer: Christians. Digging deeply into ancient European and Christian attitudes toward sex, race, and war, he finds the cultural ground well prepared by the end of the Middle Ages for the centuries-long genocide campaign that Europeans and their descendants launched - and in places continue to wage - against the New World's original inhabitants.

Reconstruction chronicles the way in which Americans - black and white - responded to the unprecedented changes unleashed by the war and the end of slavery. It addresses the quest of emancipated slaves' searching for economic autonomy and equal citizenship and describes the remodeling of Southern society; the evolution of racial attitudes and patterns of race relations; and the emergence of a national state possessing vastly expanded authority and one committed, for a time, to the principle of equal rights for all Americans. This "masterful treatment of one of the most complex periods of American history" (New Republic) remains the standard work on the wrenching post-Civil War period - an era whose legacy still reverberates in the United States today.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Roaring Twenties: A History from Beginning to End Author: Hourly History Narrator: Sean Tivenan Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-17 Publisher: Hourly History Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: The Roaring Twenties was a golden age of economic prosperity and liberal social change. Innovations in numerous industries revived a sluggish post-World War I economy, and mass production methods allowed for the standardized, rapid production of various goods, the most notable of which was the automobile. The roar of thousands of newly manufactured vehicles filled the city streets, and the ripple effect of the industry spawned a myriad of ancillary industries, such as car dealerships and mechanic shops. Innovations in the entertainment industry heralded the Golden Age of Radio and resulted in the replacement of vaudeville with cinema as "talkies" replaced silent films and movies came alive with color. The most iconic image of the era was the flapper - a thoroughly modern, young woman, unafraid to flout the social norms of her parents' generation and break with long-standing traditions. She typified the sexually expressive, modern, young, and fun woman who had gained the right to vote and who was ready to take her rightful place in both the workforce and in the speakeasies that cropped up in the wake of Prohibition. You will learn about.... Along with the social changes for women, African-American cultural and artistic expressions ruled the day as jazz music emanated from the speakeasies and the radio. African-American literature rose to prominence, and all-black casts were featured in the popular theatrical productions. It was an era of progressive change fueled by a sustained economic prosperity that seemed to have no end. It did come to an abrupt end, though, with the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The music stopped, the flapper faded, and the roar of prosperity was silenced. The impact of that golden era, however, still reverberates throughout the modern day. This audiobook tells the compelling story of this raucous period in history in succinct yet informative detail that is both educational and entertaining. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

| Carrying the War to the Enemy: American Operational Art to 1945 by Michael R. Matheny | Audiobook | 20 déc. 2017 | 12:47:00 | |

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Carrying the War to the Enemy: American Operational Art to 1945 Author: Michael R. Matheny Narrator: Kirk Winkler Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: Military commanders turn tactics into strategic victory by means of "operational art", the knowledge and creative imagination commanders and staff employ in designing, synchronizing, and conducting battles and major operations to achieve strategic goals. Until now, historians of military theory have generally agreed that modern operational art developed between the first and second world wars, not in the United States but in Germany and the Soviet Union, whose armies were supposedly the innovators and greatest practitioners of operational art. Some have even claimed that US forces struggled in World War II because their commanders had no systematic understanding of operational art. Michael R. Matheny believes previous studies have not appreciated the evolution of US military thinking at the operational level. Although they may rightly point to the US Army's failure to modernize or develop a sophisticated combined arms doctrine during the interwar years, they focus too much on technology or tactical doctrine. In his revealing account, Matheny shows that it was at the operational level, particularly in mounting joint and combined operations, that senior American commanders excelled - and laid a foundation for their country's victory in World War II. Examining in detail the development of American operational art as land, sea, and air power matured in the 20th century, he shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, US war colleges educated and trained commanders during the interwar years specifically for the operational art they employed in World War II.

Two captivating manuscripts in one audiobook: The Second World War was one of the most traumatic events in human history. Across the world, existing conflicts became connected, entangling nations in a vast web of violence. It was fought on land, sea, and air, touching every inhabited continent. Over 55 million people died, some of them combatants, some civilians caught up in the violence, and some murdered by their own governments. It was the war that unleashed the Holocaust and the atomic bomb upon the world. But it was also a war that featured acts of courage and self-sacrifice on every side. D-Day, the Allied invasion of German-held Normandy, was one of the most extraordinary achievements not only of the Second World War but in the whole of military history. Millions of Allied personnel were involved in launching the greatest sea-borne invasion ever undertaken. Incredible acts of cunning and of courage ensured success in an operation that changed the face of the war, opening a vast new front. It led to the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Why was this extraordinary operation launched? How was it done? And what happened in the aftermath?

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of Rosa Parks Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Tracey Norman Format: Unabridged Length: 24 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was 42. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in." (Rosa Parks) In Charles River Editors History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. Rosa Parks is one of the most famous women in American history, and an instantly recognizable name among Americans of all ages, thanks to the events of December 1, 1955. That afternoon, on her way home from work, Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white person in defiance of Montgomery's segregated bus policies. Within days of her arrest, Montgomery's civil rights activists had organized a wide-scale boycott of Montgomery's buses by blacks. To lead the boycott, organizers formed the Montgomery Improvement Association, electing a young, 26-year-old pastor president of the new group. His name was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In many histories, the narrative of Rosa Parks' life ends there. While she was celebrated and hailed as a civil rights activist for the next 50 years until her death in 2005, few details of her life aside from her determined act and arrest are remembered. The context of the time and place are also largely overlooked, most notably the fact that she was not the first black woman who was arrested for refusing to give up her seat in 1955. All of that is largely unfair, considering the fact that Rosa Parks suffered further abuse and stigma living in the South during the Civil Rights Movement. Forced to move to the North, Rosa continued to work hard for most of the rest of her life. And instead of cashing in on her fame, she gave much of the money she made to civil rights groups and organizations. History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of Rosa Parks profiles the life and legacy of one of America's most famous women and one of its greatest Civil Rights icons. Your kids will learn about Rosa Parks and her story like never before. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Plutopia Author: Kate Brown Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, 20th Century Summary: In Plutopia, Kate Brown draws on official records and dozens of interviews to tell the extraordinary stories of Richland, Washington, and Ozersk, Russia - the first two cities in the world to produce plutonium. To contain secrets, American and Soviet leaders created plutopias - communities of nuclear families living in highly subsidized, limited-access atomic cities. Fully employed and medically monitored, the residents of Richland and Ozersk enjoyed all the pleasures of consumer society while nearby, migrants, prisoners, and soldiers were banned from plutopia - they lived in temporary "staging grounds" and often performed the most dangerous work at the plant. Brown shows that the plants' segregation of permanent and temporary workers and of nuclear and non-nuclear zones created a bubble of immunity where dumps and accidents were glossed over and plant managers freely embezzled and polluted. In four decades the Hanford plant near Richland and the Maiak plant near Ozersk each issued at least 200 million curies of radioactive isotopes into the surrounding environment. An untold and profoundly important piece of Cold War history, Plutopia invites listeners to consider the nuclear footprint left by the arms race and the enormous price of paying for it.
