    Vladimir Lenin: A Life from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min
    The political theories of Lenin have long outlived him and have even gone on to outlive the Marxist state he help to found: the Soviet Union. The name Lenin still reverberates around the world, and yet Lenin is not even his real name. He was born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov; the name Lenin was just the word he used to attach to his ideology. Lenin was just the brand he developed as he attempted to make good on his promise to export Leninism all over the world. Inside, you will hear about:The birth of revolutionLenin’s honeymoon in exileLenin’s blank checkDealing with monarchist filthSaving faceVoice of a nationRussia holds its breathAnd much more!The man who came to be known as Vladimir Lenin almost single-handedly sparked Communist revolution in Russia, and he very nearly brought his brand of Marxism to the rest of the world. What drove him to do this? Where did he derive such an immense desire for societal change?This audiobook serves to examine the landscape that brought such a pivotal figure to such prominence, examining all of the catalysts, from personal to national, that led the man known simply as Lenin down his inexorable path of revolution. ungekürzt.

    Der rote Hitlerjunge
    Der Stiefvater ist Kommunist, der Vater gar im Rotfrontkämpferbund. Die neue Stiefmutter aber schwärmt für Hitler. Der eine Großvater ist Monarchist, der andere ein kommunistischer Schuhmacher, der Onkel wiederum Sozialdemokrat. Ein Familienbild aus dem Hamburger Arbeiterbezirk Hammerbrook um 1930. Es ist das kommunistische Milieu, in dem Günter Lucks aufwächst, der Autor des Bestsellers «Ich war Hitlers letztes Aufgebot» und der Ko-Autor des Bandes «Hitlers vergessene Kinderarmee». Die Eltern verkehren mit KPD-Größen wie Etgar André oder Fiete Schulz; der kleine Günter aber will unbedingt zum Jungvolk - und durchlebt eine Kriegskindheit zwischen den Extremen. Dies ist die Erzählung von einer Kindheit in einem versunkenen, erst von den Nazis und dann von der "Operation Gomorrha" endgültig zerstörten Milieu, das auch nach dem Krieg nicht wiedererstand. Es ist zugleich ein authentisches Bild aus dem Leben in den traditionellen Arbeiterbezirken von Hamburg, von dem aus erster Hand heute kaum noch ein Zeitzeuge erzählen kann.

    Erinnerungen von jenseits des Grabes
    Was für ein abenteuerliches Leben: Kindheit in der bretonischen Heide, Wanderungen durch die Wälder der Neuen Welt, Engagement in der konterrevolutionären 'Armée des Princes' in Deutschland, Exil in England. Geschrieben im Stil einer Grabrede, schildert Chateaubriand in seinen Erinnerungen die Hauptepisoden seines wechselvollen Lebens, er schreibt über das Verschwinden von Menschen und Landschaften, von Glauben, Sitten und Institutionen. Er schuf das Epos einer Zeit der Aufstände und Katastrophen, eine Zeit, die er selbst perfekt verkörperte. Monarchist aus Tradition und Treue, verstand er als Historiker und Politiker doch die Notwendigkeit, den Liberalismus zu verteidigen. Die Stimme seiner Erinnerungen lässt die Kräfte auferstehen, die während der Restauration am Werk waren: Bilder des alten Frankreichs mit der Einfachheit des provinziellen Lebens, Gespräche zwischen Männern mit Geschmack und gebildeten Frauen in den Schlössern bei Paris, Rufe ferner Schlachten und politische Umwälzungen. Eine Stimme, die sich nach der Jugend, der Liebe und dem Ruhm sehnt und sich stets an die Nachwelt wendet, um verstanden zu werden.

    The Kingdom of Yugoslavia: The Turbulent History of the Country’s Formation and Occupation During World War I and World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min
    Yugoslavia was arguably one of the most unusual geopolitical creations of the 20th century. The Yugoslav state had never existed in any historical sense, and the ties that bound together its constituent peoples were tenuous at best. Although nominally all “Slavs”, the country was an amalgamation of languages, alphabets, cultures, religions, and traditions, which ensured its short existence was littered with splits, conflicts, and shocking violence. In a sense, it’s somewhat surprising it lasted as long as it did. In the wake of World War I, as the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East were redrawn, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, came into existence with a monarch as its head of state. Confirmed at the 1919 Versailles Conference, the “first” Yugoslavia was a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats. As a result, the kingdom was a land of political assassinations, underground terrorist organizations, and ethnic animosities. In 1929, King Alexander I suspended democracy and ruled as a dictator until he himself was assassinated in 1934. The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was particularly vulnerable to the forces that engulfed the rest of Europe at the end of the 1930s, including fascism and communism. When the Axis forces attacked in 1941, the country quickly capitulated and was dismembered by the Nazis and their allies. A separate Croatian state was formed, led by Ante Pavelić, who committed some of the worst crimes and human rights abuses of the war. The Balkan region was virtually emptied of its Jewish population, victims of the Nazi Holocaust. From the beginning, fascism was opposed by two major groups in the region: the monarchist Chetniks and the communist Partisans. The latter, led by Josip Broz Tito and backed by the Democratic powers, emerged in the dominant po ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

    The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 665min
    From the palaces of the Habsburg Empire to the torture chambers of Stalin's Soviet Union, the extraordinary story of a life suspended between the collapse of the imperial order and the violent emergence of modern Europe. Wilhelm Von Habsburg wore the uniform of the Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and, every so often, a dress. He could handle a saber, a pistol, a rudder, or a golf club; he handled women by necessity and men for pleasure. He spoke the Italian of his archduchess mother, the German of his archduke father, the English of his British royal friends, the Polish of the country his father wished to rule, and the Ukrainian of the land Wilhelm wished to rule himself. In this exhilarating narrative history, prize-winning historian Timothy D. Snyder offers an indelible portrait of an aristocrat whose life personifies the wrenching upheavals of the first half of the 20th century, as the rule of empire gave way to the new politics of nationalism. Coming of age during the First World War, Wilhelm repudiated his family to fight alongside Ukrainian peasants in hopes that he would become their king. When this dream collapsed, he became, by turns, an ally of German imperialists, a notorious French lover, an angry Austrian monarchist, a calm opponent of Hitler, and a British spy against Stalin. Played out in Europe's glittering capitals and bloody battlefields, in extravagant ski resorts and dank prison cells, The Red Prince captures an extraordinary moment in the history of Europe, in which the old order of the past was giving way to an undefined future - and in which everything, including identity itself, seemed up for grabs. ungekürzt.

    Scarlet and the Beast I: A history of the war between English and French Freemasonry
    My research has revealed that there are two separate and opposing powers in Freemasonry. One, headquartered in London, subscribes to and promotes an idolatrous and pantheistic view of the world. It is monarchist, capitalistic, wealthy, right-wing. The other, in Paris, is atheistic and humanistic in origin and outlook. It is republican, socialist, poor, left-wing. One is Scarlet. The other, the Beast. The breakthrough theory which I have developed with Scripture as my guide makes sense of the massive literature I have collected on Freemasonry as well as its apparent contradictions. My library includes books written by members of and defectors from both English and French Freemasonry. At the beginning of my research, like many other revisionist authors, I thought revisionist authors were reporting one single plot. I gradually realized that many authors were exposing what in reality were often the machinations of one group of conspirators against the other. The devices of both wings of Masonry were so similar that without Scripture as a guide, one could easily perceive only a single intrigue. This interesting twist in the historical drama, confirmed again and again by my research, points to the existence of a struggle between the two powers in Freemasonry. Although revisionist authors are supposedly concerned about one plot, I noticed that all exposes pointed to Paris as the center of an intrigue before World War I. After the War, however, evidence points to the shift of intrigue to London. I will explain this shift in the course of this book.

    The Slaughter of the Jews in the Ukraine in 1919 (eBook, ePUB)
    The Ukrainian pogroms of 1919 constitute a striking exhibition of mass savagery. Approximately 120,000 men, women and children were killed; whole villages were wiped out; the entire Jewish population of southern Russia was reduced to the brink of complete destruction. But Dr. Heifetz is not content merely to set down a tale of horrors. He seeks to analyze the social and psychological factors which lie behind this explosion of wholesale murder. He discovers three separate sets of motives, which hold good for the three classes of pogroms, those committed by Denikin, those committed by Petlura, and those committed by the Ukrainian guerilla leaders. The political viewpoint of General Denikin, widely hailed in western Europe and America as a champion of democracy against Bolshevik tyranny, was very simple. He believed that all the troubles of Russia should be ascribed to the overthrow of the Tsar, which, in his opinion, was brought about by the intrigues of Jews and professional revolutionists. His remedy was correspondingly simple. Kill off as many Jews and revolutionists as possible. Then the peasants would gladly surrender their land ; the workers would hasten to give up their factories; all classes again be well with Holy Russia. Something miscarried in Denikin's calculations: for the Red Army routed his Cossacks near Orel; and his defeat was completed by tumultuary uprisings of the Ukrainian peasants in his rear. But, before he was obliged to seek a hospitable refuge in England, he enjoyed the satisfaction of killing about 50,000 Jews. Dr. Heifetz adduces many eye witness reports of pogroms committed by Denikin's troops, together with specimens of the violently anti-Semitic literature distributed by order of his propaganda department. The case of the Ukrainian nationalist leader, Petlura, is somewhat different. Petlura claimed to be a Socialist; and he can scarcely have regarded pogroms as a necessary part of his political and economic policy. But he was unable to resist the temptation to make political capital by denouncing "the Jews at Moscow" and to attract the ruffianly elements to his side by offering prospects of unlimited looting. The protestations of Petlura's apologists that he actively opposed anti- Jewish outrages are effectively invalidated by the number of massacres unquestionably committed by his troops, by his appointment of a notorious organizer of pogroms, Colonel Petrov, to the post of Minister of War, and by the fact that he was present at a pogrom in Zhitomir without making any effort to stop it. Such bandit leaders as Makhno and Grigoriev may be considered, in a very crude and direct sense, representatives of the economic desires and interests of the Ukrainian peasants. These peasants were very good Bolsheviki, so far as driving out the landlords was concerned. But, having gained possession of the land, they resented and opposed the existence of any strong central government, whether communist or monarchist. What they wanted was complete freedom of their manufactured goods, and incidentally, to murder the Jews. Of all the contending factions the Soviet government alone consistently and vigorously repressed every anti- Jewish manifestation in the territory under its control. Dr. Heifetz gives many instances of the humanity and discipline of the Red troops. Whenever the Soviet forces were compelled to retreat even the Jewish bourgeoisie fled with them for protection.
