Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-30-18
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
After that summer in Kabul province, the young freelancer became a staff reporter for The Times of London, covering conflicts in Northern Ireland, the Gulf, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Balkans, but Afghanistan never let him go.
A young devil-may-care Englishman, determined to report on the Soviet war and make a name for himself, makes a fateful commitment to a swashbuckling Afghan guerrilla commander. Not only will he go inside the capital secretly and live in the network of safe houses run by the resistance, he will travel around the city in a Soviet Army jeep, dressed as a Russian officer.
Waiting in the mountain camp, from where Niazuldin's band of fighters lived and planned their hit-and-run attacks on Soviet troops, Ed Gorman discovers what it means to experience combat with men whose only interest is to be killed or martyred.
Death of a Translator is a searingly honest description of a mind haunted and eventually paralysed by the terror of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Title: The Other Side of Infamy
Author: James Lund, Jim Downing
Narrator: Tim Campbell
Format: Unabridged
Length: 5 hrs and 5 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-30-18
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
War is uncomfortable for Christians, and worldwide war is unfamiliar for today's generations. Jim Downing reflects on his illustrious military career, including his experience during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, to show how we can be people of faith during troubled times.
The natural human impulse is to run from attack. Jim Downing - along with countless other soldiers and sailors at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 - ran toward it, fighting to rescue his fellow navy men, to protect loved ones and civilians on the island, and to find the redemptive path forward from a devastating war.
We are protected from war these days, but there was a time when war was very present in our lives, and in The Other Side of Infamy we learn from a veteran of Pearl Harbor and World War II what it means to follow Jesus into and through every danger, toil, and snare.

Title: Enemies Within: Communists, Spies and the Making of Modern Britain
Author: Richard Davenport-Hines
Narrator: Richard Trinder
Format: Unabridged
Length: 24 hrs and 11 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-25-18
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
What pushed Blunt, Burgess, Cairncross, Maclean and Philby into Soviet hands?
With access to recently released papers and other neglected documents, this sharp analysis of the intelligence world examines how and why these men and others betrayed their country and what this cost Britain and its allies.
'Historians fumble their catches when they study individuals' motives and ideas rather than the institutions in which people work, respond, find motivation and develop their ideas', writes Richard Davenport-Hines in his history of the men who were persuaded by the Soviet Union to betray their country.
In an audiobook which attempts to counter many contradictory accounts, Enemies Within offers a study of character: both individual and institutional - the operative traits of boarding schools, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Intelligence Division, the Foreign Office, MI5, MI6 and Moscow Centre.
The audiobook refuses to present the Cambridge spies as they wished to be seen, in Marxist terms. It argues that these five men did their greatest harm to Britain not from their clandestine espionage but in their propaganda victories enjoyed from Moscow after 1951. Notions of trust, abused trust, forfeited trust and mistrust from the late 19th century to perestroika pepper its narrative.
In an audiobook that is as intellectually thrilling as it is entertaining and illuminating, Davenport-Hines charts how the undermining of authority, the rejection of expertise, and the suspicion of educational advantages began with the Cambridge Five and has transformed the social and political temper of Britain.

Title: Schuyler's Monster
Author: Robert Rummel-Hudson
Narrator: Johnathan McClain
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-24-18
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
When Schuyler Rummel-Hudson was 18 months old, a question about her lack of speech by her pediatrician set in motion a journey that continues today. When she was diagnosed with bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria (an extremely rare neurological disorder), her parents were given a name for the monster that had been stalking them from doctor to doctor, and from despair to hope, and back again.
Once they knew why Schuyler couldn't speak, they needed to determine how to help her learn. They took on educators and society to give their beautiful daughter a voice, and in the process learned a thing or two about fearlessness, tenacity, and joy.
More than a memoir of a parent dealing with his child's disability, Schuyler's Monster is a tale of a little girl who silently teaches a man filled with self-doubt how to be the father she needs.

Title: Be Free or Die
Author: Cate Lineberry
Narrator: J. D. Jackson
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-24-18
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
Facing death rather than enslavement - a story of one man's triumphant choice and ultimate rise to national hero.
It was a mild May morning in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1862, the second year of the Civil War, when a 23-year-old slave named Robert Smalls did the unthinkable and boldly seized a Confederate steamer. With his wife and two young children hidden on board, Smalls and a small crew ran a gauntlet of heavily armed fortifications in Charleston Harbor and delivered the valuable vessel and the massive guns it carried to nearby Union forces.
To be unsuccessful was a death sentence for all. Smalls' courageous and ingenious act freed him and his family from slavery and immediately made him a Union hero while simultaneously challenging much of the country's view of what African-Americans were willing to do to gain their freedom.
After his escape, Smalls served in numerous naval campaigns off Charleston as a civilian boat pilot and eventually became the first black captain of an Army ship. In a particularly poignant moment Smalls even bought the home that he and his mother had once served in as house slaves.

Título: Stalin
Autor: Alvaro Lozano
Narrador: Enric Puig
Formato: Unabridged
Duración: 25 hrs and 10 mins
Idioma: Español
Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18
Editor: Audible Studios
Categorías: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Resumen:
La historia del pueblo ruso y la historia del S. XX mundial no pueden comprenderse sin conocer a fondo la vida de Stalin, su férreo gobierno y su férrea personalidad corrieron paralelos y su voluntad sacudió, en ocasiones, los cimientos del mundo.
Iosif Vissarionovich, Stalin, fue el hijo de un zapatero, un preso, un revolucionario, un líder militar y, entre 1928 y 1953 manejó a voluntad el destino del país más grande del mundo y la vida de sus ciudadanos. Su recuerdo aún genera una mezcla de terror y añoranza en millones de personas y la historia del S. XX no puede entenderse sin comprender a fondo su vida y el contexto en el que vivió hasta en sus más nimios detalles. Esto es precisamente lo que intenta Stalin, el tirano rojo, comprender la figura del dictador georgiano y del pueblo ruso que le tocó gobernar para aclarar un poco la controversia entre aquellos que defienden que fue un magnífico estadista que cogió una Rusia rural, de campesinos oprimidos y latifunduistas tiranos, y dejó una Rusia industrializada, una potencia mundial, y aquellos que le consideran autor del mayor genocidio de la historia universal.
Álvaro Lozano aborda la vida del dictador de un modo que difumina las fronteras entre la historia expuesta y la historia narrada, mezcla el dato con el estilo narrativo, y se estructura de modo que, en ningún momento se pierda la tensión. La obra parte de los momentos previos a la invasión alemana de Rusia y, tras relatarnos el momento álgido del gobierno de Stalin, la Operación Barbarroja, retrocede a los orígenes de Stalin. Desde ese momento la biografía avanza cronológicamente hasta 1922, año en que es elegido Secretario General del Comité Central del Partido Comunista de la Unión Soviética, en principio no es un cargo fundamental en el organigrama comunista pero Stalin conseguirá, desde ese cargo, a ser el poder absoluto de la URSS. Desde ese momento alternará la industrialización del país, su modernización y el reparto de riquezas basado en la Nueva Política Económica, los planes quinquenales y la colectivización de la tierra, con una época de terror caracterizada por las terribles purgas que desembocaban en ejecuciones o encierros en los terribles gulags, una época donde la política económica provocó hambrunas en Ucrania y desastres medioambientales como el del mar de Aral.
Razones para comprar la obra:
- La obra sintetiza una visión de la vida del dictador con una perspectiva global del sistema económico, político y militar del stalinismo y un retrato general del pueblo ruso.
- El tema de Stalin y del stalinismo es esencial para entender la historia del S. XX y aún la de nuestro S. XXI pues algunas políticas y muchos conflictos actuales son herencia de aquella época.
Una obra ecuánime que reconoce a Stalin su capacidad como regenerador del país y no oculta los terribles asesinatos del dictador.

Title: Epilepsy: The Lightning Storm Within the Brain
Author: Mr. Don Scott Miller
Narrator: Scott Panfil
Format: Unabridged
Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-19-18
Publisher: Crex Meadows Writers
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
This is the fourth version of the same epilepsy memoir originally published in 2014 with some noticeable additions.
This is a true epilepsy saga from age 11 to age 53. Don Miller has had epilepsy for 42 years now. Mr. Miller was discouraged by the lack of epilepsy-oriented books at the beginning of this book's conception in 2005. There were no books about epilepsy at the library, and books about epilepsy were few and far between back in 2005. Those that were written were by doctors and nurses; there was nothing for the lay-person that would help cure that error.
Epilepsy: The Lightning Storm was one man's solution to that problem, an automotive format: the human, the car; the engine, the brain. We are all cars, and E-people just have faulty electrical systems. Milepost one - a detour from the "normal life". Gentlemen, line up your cars, start your engines, green flag, gun your engines, go, go go!
Genesis of the epilepsy, the beginning of the electric highway and the ups and downs of epilepsy, depression, and paranoid schizophrenia: Noble Jameson, my first neurologist, said, "I've seen this many times before. When adolescence ends, your seizures will stop." My seizures will stop when adolescence ends; that was seven or eight years; seven years seemed a lifetime, eight years seemed an eternity. So began the mounting frustration and exasperation.
That statement has echoed in my mind during a 40-year prolonged adolescence. The brain is like a car's engine - it controls what we do and where we go, and some of us have faulty electrical systems. In adolescence, testosterone shifted my brain into overdrive and flicked the seizure switch that controlled the firing of my spark plugs to the off position - it has remained there for nearly four decades. At the end of my sixth-grade year during the hot summer of 1974, my engine overheated and I had two tonic-clonic - known at the time as grand mal - seizures. At the time, I experienced ictal (seizural) amnesia.
So began a 40-year-journey on epilepsy's electric highway.

Title: The Religious Life of Robert E. Lee
Author: R. David Cox
Narrator: Trevor Thompson
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 42 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-19-18
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
The first close examination of how Robert E. Lee's faith shaped his life
Robert E. Lee was many things - accomplished soldier, military engineer, college president, family man, agent of reconciliation, polarizing figure. He was also a person of deep Christian conviction. In this biography of the famous Civil War general, R. David Cox shows how Lee's Christian faith shaped his crucial role in some of the most pivotal events in American history.
Delving into family letters and other primary sources - some of them newly discovered - Cox traces the lifelong development of Lee's convictions and how they influenced his decisions to stand with Virginia against the Union and later to support reconciliation and reconstruction in the years after the Civil War. Faith was central to Lee's character, Cox argues - so central that it directed and redirected his life, especially in the aftermath of defeat.

Titel: Gotthold Ephraim Lessing: Dichter, Kritiker... Spieler. Facetten eines ruhelosen Lebens
Autor: Beate Herfurth-Uber
Erzähler: Julia Nachtmann, Jürgen Uter, Peter Kaempfe
Format: Unabridged
Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 54 mins
Sprache: Deutsch
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 01-18-18
Herausgeber: MultiSkript
Kategorien: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Zusammenfassung:
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing - als Dichter gefeiert, als Kritiker gefürchtet. Klug, witzig, schlagfertig. Schon zu Lebzeiten ist er berühmt, "Minna von Barnhelm" oder "Miss Sara Samson" sind Publikumslieblinge. Davon erzählt diese Hör-Biographie - aber auch von weniger bekannten Seiten des großen Dichters: Meist steckt er in Geldnöten. Er träumt von einer Existenz als freier Schriftsteller und endet als Bibliothekar, der glaubt, unter Schwarten zu "vermodern". Regelmäßig sitzt Lessing am Spieltisch.

Die Faszination für das Glücksspiel teilt er mit Eva König, seiner späten, aber großen Liebe. Die beiden schreiben einander 193 Briefe. Es ist die Korrespondenz zweier einsamer Menschen.

Mit einem Vorwort des Schriftstellers und Lessingkenners Dieter Hildebrandt. Er spricht über Lessings Zivilcourage und seinen einsamen Weg in die deutsche Literatur: "Es gibt kaum einen Schriftsteller, den das Leben mehr herumgescheucht, öfter fallen gelassen und übler mattgesetzt hat als diesen Pastorensohn aus Sachsen".

Title: Henry Clay
Author: David S. Heidler, Jeanne T. Heidler
Narrator: Jonathan Yen
Format: Unabridged
Length: 30 hrs and 27 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-18-18
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
He was the Great Compromiser, a canny and colorful legislator whose life mirrors the story of America from its founding until the eve of the Civil War. Speaker of the House, senator, secretary of state, five-time presidential candidate, and idol to the young Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay is captured in full at last in this rich and sweeping biography.
David S. Heidler and Jeanne T. Heidler present Clay in his early years as a precocious, witty, and optimistic Virginia farm boy who at the age of 20 transformed himself into an attorney. The authors reveal Clay's tumultuous career in Washington, including his participation in the deadlocked election of 1824 that haunted him for the rest of his career, and shine new light on Clay's marriage to plain, wealthy Lucretia Hart, a union that lasted 53 years and produced 11 children.
Featuring an inimitable supporting cast including Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay is beautifully written and replete with fresh anecdotes and insights. Horse trader and risk taker, arm twister and joke teller, Henry Clay was the consummate politician who gave ground, made deals, and changed the lives of millions.

Title: Stirring the Pot with Benjamin Franklin
Author: Rae Katherine Eighmey
Narrator: Pam Ward
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 19 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-16-18
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
In this remarkable culinary biography, Rae Katherine Eighmey presents Benjamin Franklin's experimentation with food throughout his life. At age 16, he began dabbling in vegetarianism. In his early 20s, citing the health benefits of water over alcohol, he convinced his printing press colleagues to abandon their traditional breakfast of beer and bread for "water gruel", a kind of porridge he enjoyed.
Franklin is known for his scientific discoveries, including electricity and the lightning rod, and his curiosity and logical mind extended to the kitchen: he even conducted an electrical experiment to try to cook a turkey.
Later in life, on his diplomatic missions - he lived 15 years in England and nine in France - Franklin ate like a local. Eighmey discovers the meals served at his London home-away-from-home and analyzes his account books from Passy, France, for tips to his diet there. Yet he also longed for American foods; his wife Deborah sent over some favorites including cranberries, which amazed the London kitchen staff.

Title: Amiable Scoundrel: Simon Cameron, Lincoln's Scandalous Secretary of War
Author: Paul Kahan
Narrator: Michael Kazalski
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 47 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-15-18
Publisher: University Press Audiobooks
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
From abject poverty to undisputed political boss of Pennsylvania, Lincolns secretary of war, senator, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and a founder of the Republican Party, Simon Cameron (17991889) was one of the 19th centurys most prominent political figures. In his wake, however, he left a series of questionable political and business dealings and, at the age of 80, even a sex scandal.
Far more than a biography of Cameron, Amiable Scoundrel is also a portrait of an era that allowed - indeed, encouraged - a man such as Cameron to seize political control. A key figure in designing and implementing the Unions military strategy during the Civil Wars crucial first year, Cameron played an essential role in pushing Abraham Lincoln to permit the enlistment of African Americans into the US Army, a stance that eventually led to his forced resignation. Yet, his legacy has languished, nearly forgotten save for the fact that his name has become shorthand for corruption, even though no evidence has ever been presented to prove that Cameron was corrupt.
Amiable Scoundrel puts Camerons actions into a larger historical context by demonstrating that many politicians of the time, including Abraham Lincoln, used similar tactics to win elections and advance their careers. This study is the fascinating story of Camerons life and an illuminating portrait of his times.

Résumé:
Dans un sanatorium, en exil hors de la vie, une jeune femme reçoit une lettre de l'homme qu'elle aime :
"Je me marie... notre amitié demeure..."
Lucide, sobre, précis, le livre est sa réponse. Avec un esprit et une sensibilité à vif, aiguisés par la maladie, les insomnies et la proximité de la mort, l'auteure analyse ce qu'a été leur histoire. Se dessine alors le portrait d'une femme sensible, sincère, volontaire et d'une rare exigence qui, au plus fort de la passion, aura su obstinément préserver "un petit coin qui ne vibre pas", qui regarde, analyse, mesure et juge.

" 'Je me marie... Notre amitié demeure...' Je ne sais pas ce qui s'est passé. Je suis restée tout à fait immobile et la chambre a tourné autour de moi. Dans mon côté, là où j'ai mal, peut-être un peu plus bas, j'ai cru qu'on coupait la chair lentement avec un couteau très tranchant. La valeur de toute chose a été brusquement transformée."

Title: Aristotle

Format: Original Recording
Length: 4 hrs and 54 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-10-18
Publisher: Now You Know Media, Inc.
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
How can Aristotle help you become a better person? In this course by award-winning teacher and leading Aristotle expert Prof. Cary J. Nederman (PhD, York University), you will become a more ethical person as you explore Aristotelian thought.
The word "politics" is an often-controversial term in our day, conjuring associations with partisanship and subterfuge. But as conceived by the ancient Greeks, politics was essential for becoming a virtuous person. Among the great minds of antiquity, perhaps none remains as relevant as Aristotle, for whom the ultimate purpose of politics was the common good.
Aristotle: A Course on Citizen Virtue gives you the rare opportunity to learn from one of the leading experts on Aristotle and political theory. With Nederman, an award-winning professor at Texas A&M University, you'll explore Aristotle's historical, intellectual, and biographical backdrop. You'll also draw connections between this context and the moral and political philosophies of Aristotle. Finally, you will consider the powerful Aristotelian conception of human goodness. In particular, you'll look at his powerful principle of teleology: all human beings have a purpose.
By grasping Aristotle's influences and ideas, you'll come to understand him as a thinker influenced by his time and place. But Prof. Nederman's course also reveals how he provided the basis for moral philosophy, political thought, and university curricula in the West and beyond.
Today, Aristotle remains as vital as ever, inspiring great thinkers and providing insights into contemporary issues. And most importantly, he speaks powerfully about what it means to be a good person. By studying his thought, you will find guidance for flourishing and realizing your full potential.

Title: A Gift of Love
Author: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King - foreword, Rev. Dr. Raphael G. Warnock - foreword
Narrator: J. D. Jackson
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 31 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-09-18
Publisher: Beacon Press
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
The classic collection of 16 sermons preached and compiled by Dr. King
As Dr. King prepared for the Birmingham campaign in early 1963, he drafted the final sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his best-known homilies. King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. Having been arrested for holding a prayer vigil outside Albany City Hall, King and Ralph Abernathy shared a jail cell for 15 days that was, according to King, ''dirty, filthy, and ill-equipped'' and "the worse I have ever seen." While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for classic sermons such as "Loving Your Enemies", "Love in Action", and "Shattered Dreams", and continued to work on the volume after his release.
A Gift of Love includes these classic sermons, along with two new preachings. Collectively they present King's fusion of Christian teachings and social consciousness, and promote his prescient vision of love as a social and political force for change.

Title: The Road Not Taken
Author: Max Boot
Narrator: Henry Strozier
Format: Unabridged
Length: 27 hrs and 33 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-09-18
Publisher: Recorded Books
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
In chronicling the adventurous life of legendary CIA operative Edward Lansdale, The Road Not Taken definitively reframes our understanding of the Vietnam War. In this epic biography of Edward Lansdale (1908-1987), the man said to be the fictional model for Graham Greene's The Quiet American, best-selling historian Max Boot demonstrates how Lansdale pioneered a "hearts and mind" diplomacy, first in the Philippines, then in Vietnam. It was a visionary policy that, as Boot reveals, was ultimately crushed by America's giant military bureaucracy, steered by elitist generals and blueblood diplomats who favored troop build-ups and napalm bombs over winning the trust of the people.
Through dozens of interviews and access to never before-seen documents - including long-hidden love letters - Boot recasts this cautionary American story, tracing the bold rise and the crashing fall of the roguish "T. E. Lawrence of Asia" from the battle of Dien Bien Phu to the humiliating American evacuation in 1975.
Bringing a tragic complexity to this so-called "ugly American", this "engrossing biography" (Karl Marlantes) rescues Lansdale from historical ignominy and suggests that Vietnam could have been different had we only listened. With reverberations that continue to play out in Iraq and Afghanistan, The Road Not Taken is a biography of profound historical consequence.

Title: Why We Can't Wait
Author: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dorothy Cotton - introduction
Narrator: J. D. Jackson
Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-09-18
Publisher: Beacon Press
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
Dr. King's best-selling account of the civil rights movement in Birmingham during the spring and summer of 1963
On April 16, 1963, as the violent events of the Birmingham campaign unfolded in the city's streets, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., composed a letter from his prison cell in response to local religious leaders' criticism of the campaign. The resulting piece of extraordinary protest writing, "Letter from Birmingham Jail", was widely circulated and published in numerous periodicals. After the conclusion of the campaign and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, King further developed the ideas introduced in the letter in Why We Can't Wait, which tells the story of African-American activism in the spring and summer of 1963. During this time, Birmingham, Alabama, was perhaps the most racially segregated city in the United States, but the campaign launched by King, Fred Shuttlesworth, and others demonstrated to the world the power of nonviolent direct action.
Often applauded as King's most incisive and eloquent book, Why We Can't Wait recounts the Birmingham campaign in vivid detail, while underscoring why 1963 was such a crucial year for the civil rights movement. Disappointed by the slow pace of school desegregation and civil rights legislation, King observed that by 1963 - during which the country celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation - Asia and Africa were "moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence but we still creep at a horse-and-buggy pace."
King examines the history of the civil rights struggle, noting tasks that future generations must accomplish to bring about full equality, and asserts that African Americans have already waited over three centuries for civil rights and that it is time to be proactive: "For years now, I have heard the word 'Wait!' It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This 'Wait' has almost always meant 'Never.' We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that 'justice too long delayed is justice denied.'"

Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr and 5 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-08-18
Publisher: Hourly History
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
It is possible that no man has ever dominated a time as much as Charles the Great dominated the Early Middle Ages. It is true that the era had its kings, warriors, scholars, and religious leaders, but in many ways, Charlemagne was all of these things.
Inside you will hear about....
He conquered land for the Franks and sent in missionaries to convert the pagans to Christianity. He was probably illiterate, but he brought in Europes most renowned scholar, Alcuin of York, to transform education for both clergy and laity. He was much-married and virile, but he cherished his children and provided education for both his sons and his daughters. When he was named the Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III, his title was a Christian benediction for the conquest that unified Western Europe. The unification did not last, but the legend never faded.

Title: History in 30: The Life of Erwin Rommel, Nazi Germany's Desert Fox
Author: Percy Bennington
Narrator: Scott Clem
Format: Unabridged
Length: 48 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-04-18
Publisher: Charles River Editors
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
"Be an example to your men in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered, and teach your subordinates to be the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide." - Erwin Rommel
The 20th century was a century full of conflict and strife, not seen before on a global scale. While there were multiple conflicts that spanned over many years, the two World Wars marked the century. During both World Wars, the Germans were found on the losing end, but that is not to say that those armies were void of brilliance, quite to the contrary. The German Army of World War I was one of the most well-rounded and destructive war machines in history, and if anything, the death knell to the German side during the First World War was the fact that the Germans had weak allies and spent considerable resources and time to try to prop up other empires like Austria and the Ottoman Turks.
World War II was an entirely different story. The Germans were angry after the First World War, and using public sway and anger, Adolf Hitler took power in the 1930s. Unlike the earlier army, the German Army of the Second World War committed some of the most grotesque and unforgivable atrocities in the history of mankind. This isn't to say that the German commanders and soldiers were all bad, and of all the men who fought for the Reich, the one with the most sterling reputation is Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox.
Rommel rose through the ranks of the German Army in the years preceding the outbreak of World War II, and he proved to be a cunning and insinuative soldier who was one of the most brilliant cavalry commanders in the history of warfare. Eventually, the evil that surrounded him engulfed him, and his pure brilliance went untapped.

Title: History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of King Henry VIII
Author: Charles River Editors
Narrator: Mark Norman
Format: Unabridged
Length: 29 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-04-18
Publisher: Charles River Editors
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
Perfect for ages 7-10.
In Charles River Editors History for Kids series, your children can learn about historys most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. This concise but comprehensive audiobook will keep your kids attention all the way to the end.
Over 450 years after his reign, Henry VIII is still the most famous and recognizable King of England, but its for all the wrong reasons. Though well regarded by contemporaries as a learned king and "one of the most charismatic rulers to sit on the English throne", he is best remembered today for his gluttony and multiple marriages, particularly the gruesome way in which he was widowed on more than one occasion. Naturally, that was the focus of the popular Showtime drama series centered around his life, The Tudors.
Henry VIII will probably continue to be best known for beheading some of his wives, most notably Anne Boleyn, so it is somewhat fitting that his most decisive act came as a result of a marital mishap. Sharply at odds with the Catholic Church over his attempt to dissolve his marriage with Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII ultimately broke with the Church and established the Church of England, which forever changed both the religious history of England and the social hierarchy of the nation and its empire.
Though the popular perception of his reign has taken hold, King Henry VIII did not start life in any of those ways. In fact, he did not even start life as heir to the English throne. And when he did come to the throne at the age of 18, King Henry VIIIs earliest monarchical years showed his promise as a quintessential renaissance, polymath prince. Even on the religious front, Henry VIII started out believing in the essential Catholic theology, even after the pope and the Vatican excommunicated Henry from the Catholic Church (until then, the undisputed political as well as theological leader of Christendom, from which monarchs often needed various forms of legitimacy).
For all these reasons, the manner in which his life and legacy diverge makes him an even more fascinating topic, one that clearly continues to captivate audiences around the world today. History for Kids: An Illustrated Biography of King Henry VIII chronicles Henry VIIIs life and reign, but it also humanizes the man who fashioned himself both an athlete and scholar. Your kids will learn about Henry VIII like never before.

Title: History in 30: The Life of Dwight D. Eisenhower
Author: Percy Bennington
Narrator: Scott Clem
Format: Unabridged
Length: 42 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-04-18
Publisher: Charles River Editors
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
During the middle of the 20th century, the United States completed its transformation into one of the worlds superpowers, and few were as instrumental in this development as Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969), renowned for being the nations principal commanding general during World War II and the president who served during the early, tumultuous Cold War years.
A career military man, Ike was too young to serve in combat during World War I, but he began a long and productive career collaborating with future military legends George Patton and Douglas MacArthur while serving some of the nations other famous generals, including George Marshall and John J. Pershing. Amazingly, he had never served in anything but administrative positions before World War II.
Eisenhower remained mired in middle management positions until George Marshall, Chief of Staff of the Army, took notice of his skills and began promoting him. By 1942, Eisenhower was given the role of appointed Supreme Commander Allied (Expeditionary) Force in North Africa, and after his success there, Eisenhower oversaw the invasion of Sicily in 1943, which at the time had been the largest amphibious invasion in history.
With those successes, President Roosevelt picked Eisenhower to be the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, leaving him in charge of Operation Overlord and the defining moment of his military career, D-Day. Like many before him, his successes in the war made him a natural candidate for president, and he was offered plum political spots by both parties before winning the presidency as a Republican in 1952.
Despite being one of Americas oldest presidents, Eisenhower redefined the public relations nature of the office, in addition to positioning America during the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. But Eisenhowers most lasting contribution as president was the construction of the interstate highway system, and it was in the final year of his presidency that his administration planned and implemented the Apollo space program that would land men on the Moon in 1969.
History in 30: The Life of Dwight D. Eisenhower provides a quick but comprehensive look at the life of the general and president.

Title: History in 30: The Life of Winston Churchill
Author: Percy Bennington
Narrator: Scott Clem
Format: Unabridged
Length: 46 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-04-18
Publisher: Charles River Editors
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures

Summary:
The dictionary defines a statesman as a person who exhibits great wisdom and ability in directing the affairs of a government or in dealing with important public issues. Throughout world history, there have been countless famous statesmen from all across the world. The true colors and talents of a statesman usually shine through in the most difficult of circumstances, and the most difficult circumstance that any world leader faces is warfare. The 20th century was a century of almost constant warfare, from the Russo-Japanese War, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, the strife and fighting in the Middle East, and the American War on terrorism. It was a century where men and women were pushed to their limits.
One man shines above the rest, a man who used his wit, intelligence, and drive to bring not only his beloved England through the worst of times, but also helped save democracy for the entire world. Winston Spencer Churchill led England through her darkest hours, became a champion against fascism and communism, and helped secure western civilization. It was not always easy going, as Churchill went through disgrace in his early career and was forced to rebuild his reputation, brick by brick. It did not always seem that Churchill was destined for this greatness as he spent many years in the political wilderness of Britain because of his refusal to conform and "play the game", so to speak. But, as usual, the power of personality and the strength of character shone through and won the day. Indeed, without Churchill, one could argue that the fate of democracy in the world might have suffered a different fate. Churchill was the driving force behind the British resistance to the Nazi onslaught during World War II, using his power of personality and his brilliance as a world leader. Churchill remained a shining light of democracy during Europes darkest hour.
History in 30: The Life of Winston Churchill provides a quick but comprehensive look at the British prime minister.

Title: I'm Your Man: Letters of the World's Most Ambitious Job Applicant
Author: Mr. Sam Broadley
Narrator: Alan Dedicoat, Sam Broadley
Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 7 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-02-18
Publisher: Sam Broadley
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Have you ever wanted to be pope? Or prime minister? Or galactic pilot? Only a very select few go on to achieve such grandeur in life and assert massive influence in the world. Sam Broadley is not one of those people. But he thinks he is. Or that he will be. That he certainly deserves to be.
As a young man, having failed in his pursuit of sporting stardom, Sam became bored of normal employment very quickly. Having already applied for England Manager aged 19, he knew he had more to offer the world than life in the dreary, mind-numbing call center he later found himself in.
And so he applied to be pope. He was unsuccessful.
What came next was a quest for workplace magnificence. Undeterred by his Vatican-based setback, it became a mission to bag a job of extreme magnitude. Unwilling to take conventional routes to the top, the postbox was hit with application letters for some of the most prestigious roles imaginable.
His steadfast belief was that he was ready to take on the world - and it didn't matter if that was as prime minister, president of the EU, or James Bond. All he knew was that the world needed him. He was born to inspire.
So listen to this audiobook and hear his letters. You will claim the man is delusional, no doubt, but he might, just might, inspire you to dare to dream big. But he probably won't.
The application letters are read by the applicant, and the replies by Alan "Voice of the Balls" Dedicoat.

"The Sword of Deborah" contains first hand impressions of the British Women's Army in France by F. Tennyson Jesse.

Foreword: This little book was written at the request of the Ministry of Information in March of 1918; it was only released for publication - in spite of the need for haste in its compiling which had been impressed on me, and with which I had complied - shortly before Christmas. Hence it may seem somewhat after the fair. But it appears to me that people should still be told about the workers of the war and what they did, even now when we are all struggling back into our chiffons - perhaps more now than ever. For we should not forget, and how should we remember if we have never known?

Zusammenfassung:
Bis heute gilt Friedrich der Große nicht nur als wichtigster preußischer König, sondern als einer der bedeutendsten Herrscher in Deutschland überhaupt. Der "alte Fritz" hat viele Facetten: vom schwärmerischen Kronprinz, der unter dem autoritären Vater leidet, bis zum wagemutigen Feldherrn, der sein Land in die Reihe der europäischen Großmächte katapultiert; vom frankophilen Philosophenkönig bis zum verbitterten Zyniker, der nur noch seine Hunde an sich heranlässt; vom fürsorglichen Landesvater und aufgeklärten Geist bis zum eiskalten Taktiker.

Dieses Hörbuch lädt an Schauplätze aus Leben und Wirken des großen Preußenkönigs ein. Welche Orte verbinden sich mit ihm und wie sehen sie heute aus? Welche Bedeutung hatten sie für seine Biographie, für seine Politik? An bekannten und unbekannten Orten, in Berlin und Potsdam bis in den Nordosten Polens und nach Russland, in prächtigen Schlössern ebenso wie auf Schlachtfeldern taucht das Hörbuch ein in ein Leben voller Widersprüche.

Titel: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: Leben und Werk
Autor: Christian Liederer
Erzähler: Axel Thielmann
Format: Unabridged
Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 30 mins
Sprache: Deutsch
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-29-17
Herausgeber: SAGA Egmont
Kategorien: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Zusammenfassung:
Sein Name steht stellvertretend für die deutsche Literatur überhaupt: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Seine Werke sind fester Bestandteil nicht nur des deutschen, sondern des weltliterarischen Kanons, alle Schüler werden mit ihnen konfrontiert, und Wendungen, Aussprüche und Verse aus seinen Texten sind aus dem deutschen Sprachgebrauch nicht mehr wegzudenken. Welcher Mensch aber verbirgt sich hinter dem großen Namen? Welches waren seine Prägungen, was seine Entwicklung, seine Erfindungen? Was ist es, dass sein Schreiben, sein Denken und Schaffen so einzigartig macht?

Christian Liederer erweckt in seinem Hörportrait ein Denkmal zum Leben. Er lässt andere über Goethe sprechen, stellt die Biographie und zentrale Werke des Wahl-Weimarers exemplarisch vor und beleuchtet dabei die so unterschiedlichen Facetten eines langen Lebens, die sich in den Zuschreibungen und den Namen und Etiketten spiegeln, die sich bis heute mit Goethe verbinden: Dichterfürst, Geheimrat, Klassiker und vieles mehr.

Résumé:
"Jeanne était née avec le siècle et fêtait ses quatorze ans ce jour-là, un lundi pluvieux du mois d'août, comme il y en a souvent dans les Flandres, même en août. Mais ce n'était pas un jour ordinaire : le tocsin avait sonné. La guerre était déclarée."

À l'occasion du centenaire de la Grande Guerre, Jeanne Dewilde choisit de transmettre son histoire à Catherine, une jeune journaliste. En 1914, elle a 14 ans. Elle ne se doute pas encore du bouleversement guettant la France. C'est pourtant lui qui guide son existence entre Cassel, Bailleul, Lille et Hazebrouck. Il est à l'origine de sa rencontre avec le lieutenant Destouches, futur Louis Ferdinand Céline, l'abbé Lemire ou encore le peintre William Orpen. Avec une volonté de fer, Jeanne traverse le conflit. Sa foi en l'humanité la transforme en une véritable héroïne.

Pour le centenaire de la Grande Guerre, Geneviève Reumaux et René Charlet rendent hommage aux civils indirectement touchés par le conflit. Souviens-toi Jeanne dévoile un panorama réaliste de la vie quotidienne pendant la Première Guerre mondiale et souligne l'importance de la transmission de l'Histoire entre les générations.

Titel: Verdi: Eine Biographie
Autor: Joachim Campe
Erzähler: Thomas Krause
Format: Unabridged
Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 18 mins
Sprache: Deutsch
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-28-17
Herausgeber: SAGA Egmont
Kategorien: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Zusammenfassung:
Im Oktober 2013 jährt sich zum 200. Mal der Geburtstag eines der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Opernkomponisten überhaupt - Giuseppe Verdi. Doch wie konnte aus einem Mann, der aus ärmlichen bäuerlichen Verhältnissen stammte, einer der größten und wichtigsten Musikdramatiker des 19. Jahrhunderts werden?

In eingängigem Stil zeichnet Joachim Campe in diesem Hörbuch das Leben des genialen Komponisten vor den bewegten Zeiten des Risorgimento in Italien nach - als dessen Künstler schlechthin Verdi vielen gilt. Und so gelingt es dem Autor, den Menschen Verdi, der ein überzeugter Einzelgänger war und sein Privatleben und seine Persönlichkeit vor der Öffentlichkeit verbarg, hinter der Musik sichtbar werden zu lassen. Eng verwoben mit der Lebensgeschichte Verdis ist natürlich seine Entwicklung als Künstler - seine musikalische Biographie, die den Weg aus der Armut in den bis heute andauernden Ruhm beschreibt!

Summary:
In 1997, Bella Bathurst began to go deaf. Within a few months, she had lost half her hearing, and the rest was slipping away. She wasn't just missing punchlines, she was missing most of the conversation - and all of the jokes.
For the next 12 years deafness shaped her life, until, in 2009, everything changed again. Sound draws on this extraordinary experience, exploring what it is like to lose your hearing and - as Bella eventually did - to get it back, and what that teaches you about listening and silence, music and noise.
She investigates the science behind deafness, hearing loss among musicians, soldiers and factory workers, sign language, and what the deaf know about these subjects that the hearing don't. If sight gives us the world, then hearing - or our ability to listen - gives us each other. But, as this engaging and intelligent examination reveals, our relationship with sound is both personal and far, far more complex than we might expect.
