Nightmare Crouton : Nova Socio, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 734min
The events of September 11, 2001 changed the course of history. When the smoke cleared and the American people realized the scale of the threat facing their country, they demanded action. The government, forced to reconcile for their failings, had an answer. America needed an organization that could protect its citizens from violent actors and prevent future massacres; an organization that was nimble, quiet, and deadly. The Central Intelligence and Defense Force was born. For 20 years, everyone slept soundly knowing that the skilled agents of the CIDF were deployed around the globe.Suddenly, in the spring of 2023, the charismatic leader of a network of environmental extremists orders his followers to launch a bloody campaign. The series of devastating attacks in Seattle shakes the public's faith in the CIDF. Following these failures, a private security firm known as Red Star decides to take on the extremists. They recruit Liam Kromer, a decorated soldier and disgraced law enforcement officer, to help hunt down those responsible for the carnage. When Liam goes undercover for his new employer, he learns that the recent attacks are part of a larger plan. His mysterious foes have a bold vision for the future, and they’ve spent decades preparing for war. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Kahlenberg.

Enemy Within: The Fall of America, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
What if it all came crashing down? In The Fall of America: Book 3, the battle for America rages on. John and his fellow partisans evolve from a rag-tag group of rebels into an organized force. Embarking on more challenging and dangerous missions, they target larger Russian installations. Using classic guerrilla war tactics, the resistance forces attack the gulag prisoner camps and Russian air bases. But their efforts are not without casualties on both sides, and the Russians respond by instituting a campaign of brutal civilian massacres in reprisal. John's commitment is sorely tested when the Russians show an increasing knowledge of the rebel's plans and defenses. Could there be a traitor in their ranks? What sort of person could betray their fellow Americans? Can the patriots discover the enemy within in time and put a stop to their treachery? Or will John and his wife, Sandra, join countless others who gave up their lives to the cause? For John, dying in the next battle for the South might be preferable to being captured and enduring a slow death in a Russian labor camp. Book three re-ignites the action and savagery of a struggle to regain America from foreign invaders. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lee Alan.

Lone Star Nation: How a Ragged Army of Courageous Volunteers Won the Battle for Texas Independence, Hörbuch, Digital, 490min
Lone Star Nation is the gripping story of Texas' precarious journey to statehood, from its early colonization in the 1820s to the shocking massacres of Texas loyalists at the Alamo and Goliad by the Mexican army, from its rough-and-tumble years as a land overrun by the Comanches to its day of liberation as an upstart republic. H. W. Brands tells the turbulent story of Texas through the eyes of a colorful cast of characters who have become a permanent fixture in the American landscape: Stephen Austin, the state's reluctant founder; Sam Houston, the alcoholic former governor who came to lead the Texas army in its hour of crisis and glory; William Travis, James Bowie, and David Crockett, the unforgettable heroic defenders of the doomed Alamo; Santa Anna, the Mexican generalissimo and dictator whose ruthless tactics galvanized the colonists against him; and the white-haired President Andrew Jackson, whose expansionist aspirations loomed large in the background. Beyond these luminaries, Brands unearths the untold stories of the forgotten Texans, the slaves, women, unknown settlers, and children left out of traditional histories, who played crucial roles in Texas's birth. By turns bloody and heroic, tragic and triumphant, this riveting history of one of our greatest states reads like the most compelling fiction, and further secures H. W. Brands' position as one of the premier American historians. Language: English. Narrator: Chuck Montgomery. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/000370/bk_rand_000370_sample.mp3.

The World's Toughest Prisons: A Shocking Portrayal of History's Most Notorious Jails , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
Profiles some of the world's most infamous jails, from the Tower of London to Alcatraz Alcatraz, the Maze, Rikers, Bangkwang, Sabaneta, ADX Florence - the names alone can chill the blood. Along with La Santé, Diyarbakir, Tadmor, and Carandiru, these are 10 of the toughest prisons in the world. Their walls have housed those guilty of some of the most heinous crimes in history - and frequently served as virtual torture chambers for those whose only crime is to fight for their political beliefs. Some have been the scene of massacres and other atrocities, while others house their inmates in conditions judged inhumane and degrading. Some are virtually run by murderous gangs of inmates, while others have played host to the most infamous names in criminal history. Some have closed their doors, while others operate to this day. But all 10 have one thing in common: They've all generated intense controversy. Packed with hard-hitting facts, this booklet forms the perfect partner to the accompanying documentary series, Hard Time, as it probes the innermost workings of these 10 infamous prisons from all corners of the globe. It concludes with a section exploring "crime and punishment" much closer to home with a look at how the British penal system has changed down the centuries through profiles of four of London's most historic prisons: the Tower of London, Newgate, the Marshalsea, and Holloway. ungekürzt.

Yiddish Civilisation: The Rise and Fall of a Forgotten Nation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 837min
Tracing Yiddish civilization from its roots in the Diaspora to the present, Paul Kriwaczek combines intimate family anecdote, travelogue, historical research, and interviews with scholars to give us a rich portrait of a nearly extinguished culture as it survived across the centuries. He begins his chronicle in Jerusalem, with the destruction of the Jewish temple at the hands of the Romans in the year 70. We see the burgeoning exile population disperse, moving outward and northward throughout the following centuries, making their mark in more far flung cities under Roman rule. As these communities settle and coalesce, a self-governing Yiddish world takes root, spreading from the Rhineland and Bavaria to Western Russia and the Ukraine. By its late-medieval heyday, this economically successful, intellectually adventurous, and largely self-ruling Yiddish society is a presence from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Kriwaczek reflects upon the development of Yiddish language, occupations, social life, art, music, and literature, and introduces us to notable diplomats, artists, and thinkers. He chronicles the slow decline of Yiddish culture in Europe and Russia, beginning in the 17th century with the Chmielnicki Massacres in the Ukraine and culminating in the Holocaust, and looks further to fresh offshoots in the New World, ultimately celebrating what remains of Yiddish culture in our own time. ungekürzt.
