Mokhtar Alkhanshali grew up in San Francisco, one of seven siblings raised by Yemeni immigrants in a tiny apartment. At age 24, unable to pay for college, he works as a doorman. Until: a statue of an Arab raising a cup of coffee awakens something in him. He sets out to learn the rich history of coffee in Yemen and the complex art of tasting and identifying varietals. He travels to Yemen, collects samples of beans, eager to bring improved cultivation methods to the farmers. And he is on the verge of success when civil war engulfs Yemen in 2015 and he is trapped in Sana'a. Desperate to escape, he embarks on a passage that has him twice kidnapped at gunpoint, dodging US-made bombs dropped by the Saudi air force, and crossing the Red Sea onboard an unsafe skiff, all the while carrying two suitcases of coffee. A heart-pounding true story that weaves together the history of coffee, the ongoing Yemeni civil war, and the courageous journey of a young man - a Muslim and a US citizen - following the most American of dreams.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Searching for Augusta Author: Martin King Narrator: Roger Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, Military Summary: A brutal siege. A forgotten heroine. A war-torn romance. And a historian determined to uncover the truth. Untold millions who saw Band of Brothers can finally know the whole story of what happened to American soldiers and civilians in Bastogne during that arduous Winter of 1944/45. In the television version of Band of Brothers, a passing reference is made to an African nurse assisting in an aid station in Bastogne. When military historian Martin King watched the episode, he had to know who that woman was; thus began a multi-year odyssey that revealed the horror of a town under siege as well as an improbable love story between a white Army medic, Jack Prior, and his black nurse, Augusta Chiwy, as they saved countless lives while under constant bombardment. Based on the recent discovery of Prior's diary as well as an exhaustive and occasionally futile search for Augusta herself, King was at last able to bring belated recognition of Augusta's incredible story by both the US Army and Belgian government shortly before she died. This is not only a little-known story of the Battle of the Bulge, but also the author's own relentless mission to locate Augusta and bestow upon her the honors she so richly deserved.

| When Montezuma Met Cortés by Matthew Restall | Audiobook | 30 Jan 2018 | 16:05:00 | |

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: When Montezuma Met Cortés Author: Matthew Restall Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Harper Audio Genres: History, World Summary: A dramatic rethinking of the encounter between Montezuma and Hernando Cortés that completely overturns what we know about the Spanish conquest of the Americas On November 8, 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés first met Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, at the entrance to the capital city of Tenochtitlan. This introduction - the prelude to the Spanish seizure of Mexico City and to European colonization of the mainland of the Americas - has long been the symbol of Cortés' bold and brilliant military genius. Montezuma, on the other hand, is remembered as a coward who gave away a vast empire and touched off a wave of colonial invasions across the hemisphere. But is this really what happened? In a departure from traditional tellings, When Montezuma Met Cortés uses "the Meeting" - as Restall dubs their first encounter - as the entry point into a comprehensive reevaluation of both Cortés and Montezuma. Drawing on rare primary sources and overlooked accounts by conquistadors and Aztecs alike, Restall explores Cortés' and Montezuma's posthumous reputations, their achievements and failures, and the worlds in which they lived - leading, step by step, to a dramatic inversion of the old story. As Restall takes us through this sweeping, revisionist account of a pivotal moment in modern civilization, he calls into question our view of the history of the Americas and, indeed, of history itself.

| First World War: 1918 by Sarah Kilgarriff | Audiobook | 25 Jan 2018 | 02:11:00 | |

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: First World War: 1918 Author: Sarah Kilgarriff Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 01-25-18 Publisher: BBC Digital Audio Genres: History, World Summary: A unique collection of historic recordings in which the last brutal encounters of the war and the mixed emotions of the armistice are remembered by troops from both sides. By the end of March 1918, Germany's Spring Offensive had thrown British forces back over the old Somme battlefields. But this last push failed, and with the stalemate of trench warfare broken, the Allies swept from near defeat to victory. However, their joy was tempered by sorrow. Too many would not come home. For the Germans, the mood was despairing as their 'endless columns rolled eastward', the November fog and rain adding to their melancholy. Memorable reminiscences include an evocative portrait of poet Wilfred Owen, killed shortly before the armistice; American troops on their initiation into the horrors of battle; and reflections on the 'punitive' demands of the Paris Peace Conference. As the Treaty of Versailles was being drafted, the German navy decided its own fate in one final act of defiance, witnessed by a group of schoolchildren on an outing in Scapa Flow. These enduring recollections from the men who fought and the women who waited are a poignant and powerful reminder of the shocking realities of the war. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Sea and Civilization Author: Lincoln Paine Narrator: Tom Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 29 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, World Summary: A monumental retelling of world history through the lens of maritime enterprise, revealing in breathtaking depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, lake and stream, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world's waterways, bringing together civilizations and defining what makes us most human. Lincoln Paine takes us back to the origins of long-distance migration by sea with our ancestors' first forays from Africa and Eurasia to Australia and the Americas. He demonstrates the critical role of maritime trade to the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley. He reacquaints us with the great seafaring cultures of antiquity like those of the Phoenicians and Greeks as well as those of India and Southeast and East Asia, who parlayed their navigational skills, shipbuilding techniques, and commercial acumen to establish thriving overseas colonies and trade routes in the centuries leading up to the age of European expansion. And finally, his narrative traces how commercial shipping and naval warfare brought about the enormous demographic, cultural, and political changes that have globalized the world throughout the post-Cold War era.

| The Wall and the Gate by Michael Sfard | Audiobook | 23 Jan 2018 | 21:22:00 | |
Listen to full audiobooks for free on :
https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Wall and the Gate Author: Michael Sfard Narrator: Jonathan Davis Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, World Summary: A farmer from a village in the occupied West Bank, cut off from his olive groves by the construction of Israel's controversial separation wall, asked Israeli human rights lawyer Michael Sfard to petition the courts to allow a gate to be built in the wall. While the gate would provide immediate relief for the farmer, would it not also confer legitimacy on the wall and on the court that deems it legal? The defense of human rights is often marked by such ethical dilemmas, which are especially acute in Israel, where lawyers have for decades sought redress for the abuse of Palestinian rights in the country's High Court - that is, in the court of the abuser. In The Wall and the Gate, Michael Sfard chronicles this struggle - a story that has never before been fully told - and in the process engages the core principles of human rights legal ethics. Sfard recounts the unfolding of key cases and issues, ranging from confiscation of land, deportations, the creation of settlements, punitive home demolitions, torture, and targeted killings - all actions considered violations of international law. In the process, he lays bare the reality of the occupation and the lives of the people who must contend with that reality. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Título: Breve historia del África subsahariana [Brief history of sub-Saharan Africa] Autor: Eric García Moral Narrador: Hermogenes Alonso Formato: Unabridged Duración: 8 hrs and 48 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18 Editor: Audible Studios Categorías: History, World Resumen: En esta obra el lector conocerá las principales etapas de la historia del continente africano: la prehistoria, con la aparición de los primeros homínidos en África; los tiempos antiguos, donde se observan similitudes culturales entre el Antiguo Egipto y las sociedades subsaharianas; los siglos oscuros, el período menos conocido de la historia africana; la era de los imperios o época clásica africana, en la que se erigieron grandes imperios y cuya fama llegó hasta Europa; la era del contacto occidental o período predador, caracterizada por el tráfico de esclavos y por la militarización de las sociedades africanas; el período colonial y, finalmente, el período independiente, con la gran disyuntiva entre tradición y modernidad que incidirá en el devenir de los nuevos estados del continente. A través de una narración amena, alejada del academicismo habitual, el lector conocerá episodios de la historia africana que muy probablemente desconozca. Se han seleccionado los temas que más pueden interesar al público general y se han desechado aquellos, como las discusiones historiográficas o la enumeración de fechas, que suelen pertenecer al ámbito académico. El audio libro, además, derrumbará algunos estereotipos como el que se refiere a un continente sin historia, detenido en el estadio tribal. La historia africana es dinámica, continua, con altos y bajos, con períodos de esplendor y decadencia, y su conexión con el resto del mundo es más grande de lo que se suele pensar. La historia mundial no sería la misma sin África y África no sería lo que es hoy sin sus contactos con el resto de la humanidad. En esta grabación el oyente encontrará una historia que jamás le han explicado y que, sin duda, cambiará su manera de ver el mundo. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

| Historia oculta de la conquista de América [Hidden History of the Conquest of America] por Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo | Audio Libro Gratis | 23 Jan 2018 | 07:14:00 | |

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Título: Historia oculta de la conquista de América [Hidden History of the Conquest of America] Autor: Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo Narrador: Juan Magraner Formato: Unabridged Duración: 7 hrs and 14 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18 Editor: Audible Studios Categorías: History, World Resumen: "En definitiva, Historia oculta de la conquista de América es un audio libro indispensable para entender los verdaderos sucesos que ocurrieron, al margen de las versiones oficiales, durante este importante momento histórico. En la obra el oyente descubrirá muchos hechos que fueron determinantes y que no han sido contados ni revelados por la historia oficial narrados de forma objetiva aspectos tanto positivos como negativos de cada uno de los protagonistas." (Web Comparte libros) "Historia oculta de la conquista de América, de Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo, donde se abordan los hechos omitidos de la historia oficial y la leyenda negra del Descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo, que esconde gran cantidad de situaciones no divulgadas, hechos cuyas dobleces determinaron el destino final de los acontecimientos, paradojas que muchos recopiladores dejaron en el tintero." (Revista Enigmas) Historia oculta de la conquista de América pretende rescatar aquellos hechos que tuvieron relevancia para el desarrollo de la conquista de América y para la posterior configuración tanto de las fronteras sudamericanas como de la propia identidad hispanoamericana. Son hechos olvidados por la distancia temporal entre aquellos hombres y nosotros, o también ninguneados por aquellos que pretendieron acrecentar su fama u ocultar sus delitos, no obstante algunos de ellos, como la incidencia de las enfermedades en colonos e indígenas o las diversas leyendas y expediciones en busca de El Dorado, son fundamentales para comprender cómo se realizó la conquista de América y qué puntos de contacto entre españoles y americanos han formado la identidad hispanoamericana. Reúne Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo una ingente cantidad de información tomada de las propias crónicas de los europeos que servirá para que comprendamos los pormenores de la conquista de América. Veremos cómo las enfermedades ayudaron a Cortés y a Pizarro en sus conquistas de Tenochtitlán o de Cuzco, pero hubo otras epidemias que afectaron a ambos bandos como el tifus o la influenza, y aún hubo otras como la malaria, la fiebre amarilla o el paludismo que diezmaron sólo a los colonos; tampoco se ha dado mucha importancia en la historia oficial al papel de los perros de guerra que utilizaron los españoles, los alanos, y que permitieron, en muchos casos, vencer a los numerosos ejércitos americanos; también nos detallará episodios apasionantes como la búsqueda de El Dorado que se convirtió en una auténtica aventura exploratoria, o los distintos casos de canibalismo en las filas españolas; pero, dentro del horror que marca las batallas de la conquista, encontrará el autor un hueco para las relaciones amorosas y amistosas, que también han quedado recogidas, entre españoles y americanos.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Título: Magallanes y Elcano: travesía al fin del mundo [Magellan and Elcano: crossing to the end of the world] Autor: Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo Narrador: Joan Espinosa Formato: Unabridged Duración: 9 hrs and 10 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18 Editor: Audible Studios Categorías: History, World Resumen: La aventura de Vasco de Gama que le llevó a las Indias através del cabo de Buena Esperanza abrió una guerra por el control de las especias y por el control estratégico mundial que concluiría con la gesta de Magallanes y Elcano: la expedición que dio, a ciegas, la primera vuelta al mundo. Magallanes y Elcano: travesía al fin del mundo nos traslada toda la aventura, la pasión, la crueldad, y el heroísmo de esta gesta, y nos da a conocer datos poco tratados en este tipo de obras como qué papel real tenían los reyes en estas expediciones, cuál eran las competencias de los capitanes en estas aventuras, cómo se formaban la flota que se embarcaba o cómo solventaban los problemas de alimentación y de bebida en unos viajes en los que, en la mayoría de los casos, las cartografías eran inexactas o directamente inexistentes. En 1519 parten desde Sevilla cinco naves y 256 hombresbajo el mando de Magallanes, un navegante nacido en Portugal que rechazó su nacionalidad y fué nombrado capitán por el emperador Carlos I, 14.500 leguas y tres años después regresará a suelo español una sola nave, con 17 hombres y capitaneada por Juan Sebastián Elcano. Gabriel Sánchez nos traslada con toda su viveza esta epopeya en la que los hombres de Magallanes tuvieron que superar motines, naufragios en islas abandonadas, deserciones, batallas contra los indígenas, enfermedades, y hambrunas. La ruta parte desde Sevilla y toma rumbohacia América desde las Islas Canarias, ya en América pasarán por Río de Janeiro, Montevideo y entrarán en el Río de la Plata creyendo que el paso al Pacífico estaría allí,este error dará comienzo a las primeras disidencias en latropa, agravadas por tener que obedecer a un capitán extranjero en una misión cuyo destino se había ocultado deliberadamente. Pasan el invierno en el sur de Argentina y es cuando la tripulación se amotina, Magallanes ajusticiará a los amotinados llegando a descuartizar a Juan de Cartagena. Pero el momento más duro será cuando, tras la euforia de cruzar América, se enfrentarán a un océano cuya extension no conocían, dos meses de travesía sin víveres en los que comieron, ratas, serrín, e incluso cuero. En 1521 llegan, tras no pocas visicitudes a las islas Filipinas y desde ahí irán al islote de Mactán donde, Magallanes, en una batalla innecesaria contra los indios locales, morirá por una fleche envenenada. En septiembre de 1522 pisaron de nuevo suelo español, sólo quedaban 17 marineros y una nave, pero habían conseguido confirmar que la tierra era redonda y habían comprobado la inmensidad del Pacífico.

Schon vor Kriegsausbruch - von 1933 bis 1939 - saßen in den Gefängnissen und Konzentrationslagern über drei Millionen Menschen. Bis Kriegsende mussten über 7,5 Millionen Fremd- und Zwangsarbeiter Frondienste für Hitler und seine Clique leisten. So erschreckend diese Zahlen sind, so erschreckend ist auch die Grausamkeit, mit der Hitlers Schergen folterten und mordeten. Über sechs Millionen Juden, Sinti und Roma und andere Verfolgte wurden umgebracht, und es wären noch Millionen hinzugekommen, hätte das Ende des Krieges das Morden nicht gestoppt. Wie konnte es zu all diesem Schrecken kommen? Wie war die Macht verteilt und organisiert, und wie wurde die Herrschaft durchgesetzt? Diese und andere zentrale Fragen beantwortet das Hörbuch übersichtlich. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Kontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

Iraq did make some advancement in establishing their government that replaced the era of Saddam Hussein by having a line of elections for regional governments and parliament. Yet, the governing organizations are weak and corrupted. The country is not ready to heal, as it is always in a state of conflict. If there is no external conflict, there is one that is happening internally. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

| Home Front to Battlefront by Frank Lavin | Audiobook | 18 Jan 2018 | 11:44:00 | |
Listen to full audiobooks for free on :
https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Home Front to Battlefront Author: Frank Lavin Narrator: Gary D. MacFadden, Frank Lavin Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-18 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: History, Military Summary: Carl Lavin was a high school senior when Pearl Harbor was attacked. The Canton, Ohio, native enlisted when he turned 18, a decision that would take him with the US Army from training across the United States and Britain to combat with the 84th Infantry Division in the Battle of the Bulge. Home Front to Battlefront is the tale of a foot soldier who finds himself thrust into a world where he and his unit grapple with the horrors of combat, the idiocies of bureaucracy, and the oddities of life back home - all in the same day. It is based on Carl's personal letters, his recollections, and those of the people he served beside, official military history, private papers, and more. Home Front to Battlefront contributes the rich details of one soldier's experience to the broader literature on World War II. Lavin's adventures, in turn disarming and sobering, will appeal to general listeners, veterans, educators, and students of the war. As a history, the audiobook offers insight into the wartime career of a Jewish Ohioan in the military, from enlistment to training through overseas deployment. As a biography, it reflects the emotions and the role of the individual in a total war effort that is all too often thought of as a machine war in which human soldiers were merely interchangeable cogs. Published by Ohio University Press. "If you like American history, or military history, or just a good narrative yarn, do check out "Home Front to Battlefront." - Bill Kristol, Weekly Standard "Carl Lavin's combined letters and memoir are an invaluable contribution to the literature on the American G.I.'s experiences in World War II." - Peter S. Kindsvatter, author of American Soldiers: Ground Combat in the World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Sleepwalkers Author: Christopher Clark Narrator: Christopher Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 23 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-18 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: History, World Summary: The pacy, sensitive and formidably argued history of the causes of the First World War, from acclaimed historian and author Christopher Clark. Sunday Times and Independent Books of the Year 2012. The moments that it took Gavrilo Princip to step forward to the stalled car and shoot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife were perhaps the most fateful of the modern era. An act of terrorism of staggering efficiency, it fulfilled its every aim: it would liberate Bosnia from Habsburg rule, and it created a powerful new Serbia, but it also brought down four great empires, killed millions of men and destroyed a civilization. What made a seemingly prosperous and complacent Europe so vulnerable to the impact of this assassination? In The Sleepwalkers Christopher Clark retells the story of the outbreak of the First World War and its causes. Above all, it shows how the failure to understand the seriousness of the chaotic, near genocidal fighting in the Balkans would drag Europe into catastrophe. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

Listen to full audiobooks for free on :
https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Swift Boats at War in Vietnam Author: Neva Sullaway, Guy Gugliotta, John Yeoman Narrator: David Colacci, Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, Military Summary: Developed specifically for the Vietnam War (and made famous by the 2004 presidential campaign), Swift Boats were versatile craft "big enough to outrun anything they couldn't outfight" but too small to handle even a moderate ocean chop, too loud to sneak up on anyone, and too flimsy to withstand the mildest of rocket attacks. This made more difficult an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines. The stories in this book cover the Swift Boats' early years, which saw search-and-inspect operations in Vietnam's coastal waters, and their later years, when the Swift Boats' mission shifted to the Mekong Delta's labyrinth of 3,000 miles of rivers, streams, and canals. This is an intimate, exciting oral history of Swift Boats at war in Vietnam. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

Small, fragile, and slow, they provided no hint of the sleek jet fighters that would one day slash across the skies of Earth faster than sound to unleash the lethal blast and fire of sophisticated missiles, or the bombers able to level an entire city with one nuclear bomb. That said, they did not represent a complete novelty in warfare either, at least not during the early months of World War I. While airplanes had never before appeared above the field of war, other aerial vehicles had already been in use for decades, and balloons had carried soldiers above the landscape for centuries to provide a high observation point superior to most geological features. The French used a balloon for this purpose at the Battle of Fleurus in 1794, and by the American Civil War, military hydrogen balloons saw frequent use, filled from wagons generating hydrogen from iron filings and sulfuric acid. The balloonist Thaddeus Lowe persuaded President Abraham Lincoln to use the airships for observation, communicating troop movements to the ground with a telegraph wire. At first, airplane improvements occurred in an ad hoc, almost accidental manner during the war. However, when pilots mounting of armaments on airplanes proved a successful means of defeating other aircraft and even attacking men on the ground, a much more active and systematic development of warplanes began across the continent. Each advance prompted a countermeasure, as the two sides strove for primacy in a deadly, unforgiving environment which rewarded real advances in equipment and tactics with survival and punished poor ideas with death. The Dogfights of the World Wars: The Evolution and History of the Fight in the Skies During World War I and World War II looks at how technology and tactics evolved during the wars. You will learn about dogfights like never before. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||
| The Square and the Tower by Niall Ferguson | Audiobook | 16 Jan 2018 | 17:21:00 | |

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Square and the Tower Author: Niall Ferguson Narrator: Elliot Hill Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Penguin Audio Genres: History, Political Summary: A brilliant recasting of the turning points in world history, including the one we're living through, as a collision between old power hierarchies and new social networks Most history is hierarchical: it's about emperors, presidents, prime ministers, and field marshals. It's about states, armies, and corporations. It's about orders from on high. Even history "from below" is often about trade unions and workers' parties. But what if that's simply because hierarchical institutions create the archives that historians rely on? What if we are missing the informal, less well documented social networks that are the true sources of power and drivers of change? The 21st century has been hailed as the Age of Networks. However, in The Square and the Tower, Niall Ferguson argues that networks have always been with us, from the structure of the brain to the food chain, from the family tree to freemasonry. Throughout history, hierarchies housed in high towers have claimed to rule, but often real power has resided in the networks in the town square below. For it is networks that tend to innovate. And it is through networks that revolutionary ideas can contagiously spread. Just because conspiracy theorists like to fantasize about such networks doesn't mean they are not real. From the cults of ancient Rome to the dynasties of the Renaissance, from the founding fathers to Facebook, The Square and the Tower tells the story of the rise, fall, and rise of networks, and shows how network theory - concepts such as clustering, degrees of separation, weak ties, contagions, and phase transitions - can transform our understanding of both the past and the present. Just as The Ascent of Money put Wall Street into historical perspective, so The Square and the Tower does the same for Silicon Valley. And it offers a bold prediction about which hierarchies will withstand this latest wave of network disruption - and which will be toppled. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

The catalyst of war provided the swiftest impetus to this evolution. The new mechanized armies existing from the later period of World War I onward seized on the fresh technology and sought to squeeze every possible drop of advantage from it that the limits of science and the era's materials would allow. Many military thinkers and even aeronautical enthusiasts believed that blimps would remain the chief military aerial asset more or less forever. These men thought airplanes would play a secondary role at best, and might even prove a uselessly expensive gimmick soon to fade back into obscurity, leaving the majestic bulk of the dirigible as sole master of the skies. Thus, when World War I began, airplane improvements occurred in an ad hoc, almost accidental manner during the war. However, when pilots' mounting of armaments on airplanes proved a successful means of defeating other aircraft and even attacking men on the ground, a much more active and systematic development of warplanes began across the continent. Each advance prompted a countermeasure, as the two sides strove for primacy in a deadly, unforgiving environment which rewarded real advances in equipment and tactics with survival and punished poor ideas with death. Before long, relatively powerful, heavily armed aircraft buzzed through the skies over battle-stained Europe, tearing each other apart with furious gusts of machine gun fire and sending many of the vaunted dirigibles plunging, burning, to the ground. The new era of fighting aircraft arrived in dramatic fashion. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Titel: Kaiser abgesetzt - Rom am Ende! Autor: Hans Peter von Peschke Erzähler: Axel Thielmann Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 1 hr and 13 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 01-12-18 Herausgeber: SAGA Egmont Kategorien: History, World Zusammenfassung: Am 28. August 476 setzt der weströmische Offizier und Rebell Odoaker, Sohn eines hunnischen Adeligen und einer Germanin, den 16-jährigen Romulus Augustulus ab, der nominell der letzte Kaiser des weströmischen Reiches ist. Sein Vater, ein römischer Heermeister, hatte ihn 475 als Kind von seinen Soldaten zum Kaiser ausrufen lassen, diese meuterten und töteten ihn. Ihr Anführer Odoaker ließ sich, vom oströmischen Kaiser Zenon gebilligt, zum König von Italien, zum 'rex Italiae', ausrufen, und Romulus wird in ein Kastell in der Nähe von Neapel verbannt. Von nun an haben ganz offiziell verschiedene germanische Völker die Macht über das Kernland des alten römischen Imperiums, weshalb die Absetzung des letzten römischen Kaisers bald auch für die Zeitgenossen das Ende einer glanzvollen Epoche bedeutet. Das Hörbuch geht der spannenden Frage nach, ob dieses Datum denn tatsächlich ein Wendepunkt war. Faktensatt und lebendig! ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Kontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Berlin Airlift Author: Barry Turner Narrator: Peter Baker Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-11-18 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: History, World Summary: Acclaimed historian Barry Turner presents a new history of the Cold War's defining episode. Berlin, 1948: a divided city in a divided country in a divided Europe. The ruined German capital lay 120 miles inside Soviet-controlled Eastern Germany. Stalin wanted the Allies out; the Allies were determined to stay but had only three narrow air corridors linking the city to the West. Stalin was confident he could crush Berlin's resolve by cutting off food and fuel. In the USA, despite some voices still urging 'America first', it was believed that a rebuilt Germany was the best insurance against the spread of communism across Europe. And so over 11 months, from June 1948 to May 1949, British and American aircraft carried out the most ambitious airborne relief operation ever mounted, flying over two million tons of supplies on almost 300,000 flights to save a beleaguered Berlin. With new material from American, British and German archives and original interviews with veterans, Turner paints a fresh, vivid picture of the airlift, whose repercussions - the role of the USA as global leader, German ascendancy and Russian threat - we are still living with today.

Schneider Format: Original Recording Length: 4 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-18 Publisher: Liberty Talks, Inc. Genres: History, Political Summary: This expertly-taught course invites you on a journey through 100 years of American conservative history. The history and development of American conservatism is as fascinating as it is complex. While conservative commentators, politicians, and pundits abound, few truly understand how the conservative movement came to be the institution it is today. Now, you can learn about this vital history in 12 thought-provoking lectures. Conservatism is not a rigid ideology; rather, as you will learn, its protean character has allowed it to adapt and survive as a major force in the history of ideas and in politics. In recent decades, conservatism has become a political force in the nation, but it took many years of building and organizing to construct the necessary institutions to do so. You will start with the beginnings of the conservative movement and its reaction to the New Deal. You will then explore the greatest figures of conservatism, from William F. Buckley and his publication of National Review, to the Barry Goldwater campaign of 1964, up through the rise of Reagan and his ensuing political influence. You will then consider the future of the conservative movement. Born from intellectual activity rather than political power, conservatives constructed a movement based around the propositions of free market economics, the preservation of tradition, and combat with communism. This is an essential course for all those seeking to gain a fuller understanding of conservatism and American political history. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

The first discoveries had been made by a British-held concern called Consolidated African Selection Trust, or CAST, in which a British shareholder body, Selection Trust Limited, shared a significant interest with the diamond giant, De Beers. Transparency, of course, was not by any means absolute, but under British colonial oversight, the movement of diamonds out of the country was regulated and royalties channeled reasonably appropriately. In the past, all diamond mining in Sierra Leone had fallen under the control of the Sierra Leone Selection Trust - or SLST - a private investor body with exclusive rights to mine diamonds in Sierra Leone. By the mid-1950s and 1960s, illegal and illicit mining had taken over large areas of production. Figures vary, but by the 1960s, one can assume a figure of upwards of 100,000 illegal miners, both domestic and foreign, were active in the Kono District. Armed groups began to appear, challenging private SLST security, eventually fermenting a situation of anarchy under which regulated and taxed diamond production diminished to a trickle. Naturally, the corruption was at its most pervasive and creative surrounding diamonds. The industry was effectively criminalized, becoming the basis of a patrimonial shadow system geared toward sustaining wealth and power at its center. Distrustful of his own countrymen and tribal opponents, Stevens handed off much of the day-to-day business of diamonds to Lebanese businessmen who had been a somewhat anomalous presence in Sierra Leone since the end of the 19th century. From a peak of over two million carats officially exported in 1970, legitimate diamond exports dropped to 595,000 carats in 1980 and 48,000 carats in 1988. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

Miller - editor Narrator: Darren Stephens Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: History, Military Summary: A century ago, Europe's diplomats mismanaged the crisis triggered by the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and the continent plunged into World War I, which killed millions, toppled dynasties, and destroyed empires. Today, as the 100th anniversary of the Great War prompts renewed debate about the war's causes, scholars and policy experts are also considering the parallels between the present international system and the world of 1914. Are China and the United States fated to follow in the footsteps of previous great power rivals? Will today's alliances drag countries into tomorrow's wars? Can leaders manage power relationships peacefully? Or will East Asia's territorial and maritime disputes trigger a larger conflict, just as rivalries in the Balkans did in 1914? In The Next Great War?, experts reconsider the causes of World War I and explore whether the great powers of the 21st century can avoid the mistakes of Europe's statesmen in 1914 and prevent another catastrophic conflict. They find differences as well as similarities between today's world and the world of 1914 - but conclude that only a deep understanding of those differences and early action to bring great powers together will likely enable the United States and China to avoid a great war.

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Loran Man: One American Military Engineers Secret World War II Missions Author: R. A. Schwartzman Narrator: Karen-Eileen Gordon Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-18 Publisher: R. A. Schwartzman Genres: History, Military Summary: In 1939, just prior to the start of World War II, the US Lighthouse Service was merged with the United States Coast Guard. After the start of the war, a small group of former lighthouse engineers were instrumental in completing a Top Secret mission to develop, along with M.I.T's Radiation Lab, a brand new technology that would radically improve a ship or plane's ability to navigate with accuracy, called LORAN (Long Range Navigation). This technology is largely credited with turning the tides of battle, and helping secure an Allied victory. This audiobook is a walk, with commentary, through the military records (from 1938 through 1965) of one of the main former-Lighthouse Service engineers involved, Captain Ellis S. Gordon, who was stationed in Alaska from 1943...and was instrumental in developing and activating Loran all over the map, and in particular in the Aleutians. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||

https://hotaudiobook.com/free Titre: De la madelon aux tourneuses d'obus Auteur: Jean François Maxou Heintzen Narrateur: Jean François Maxou Heintzen Format: Unabridged Durée: 1 hr and 44 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 01-08-18 Éditeur: PhBproductions Genres: History, World Résumé: La Grande Guerre en Chansons. La guerre est une chose trop grave pour labandonner aux seuls militaires. Écoutons donc ces échos de la Grande Guerre que sont les chansons dalors. Même dans la tourmente, le français chante (lallemand aussi, mais nous nous limiterons à des documents français). Il chante à larrière, au front, partout : chansons patriotiques (La Madelon & Co), chansons mélodramatiques (ceux qui partent, ceux qui restent, mères et enfants dans lattente des nouvelles), gaudrioles pour remonter le moral (Le pinard, c'est quoi, déjà ?), compositions de bidasses pour évoquer l'ordinaire des tranchées, ou l'absurdité de leur situation (La chanson de Craonne). Docteur en Histoire, Jean François Heintzen dit "Maxou" est aussi un amoureux des Arts et Lettres et en particulier de la culture de tradition populaire comme l'attestent ses engagements associatifs et ses publications variées. ©2018 PhBproductions (P)2018 PhBproductions Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com | |||
