    Der Fluch, Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 685min
    Billy Halleck, guter Ehemann, Vater und erfolgreicher New Yorker Anwalt, lebt mit seiner Familie in Fairview, Connecticut. Er schätzt - wie seine Nachbarn - Geld, Sex und gutes Essen. Letzteres so sehr, dass er mehr als 50 Pfund Übergewicht hat. Doch dann fährt Billy in einem Moment der Unachtsamkeit eine alte Zigeunerin tot. Und wird, als er vor Gericht straflos davonkommt, von ihrem Vater verflucht. "Dünner", flüstert der uralte Mann und streicht dem dicken Anwalt fast zärtlich mit einem Finger über die Wange. Fortan nimmt Billy ab, so viel er auch isst. Seine anfängliche Freude darüber verwandelt sich in Entsetzen, als er sich immer mehr dahinschwinden sieht. Schließlich ist er so verzweifelt, dass er sich auf ein letztes gefährliches Wagnis einlässt. Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung genießt du exklusiv nur bei Audible. ungekürzt. deutsch.

    The 10 Biggest Civil War Blunders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 446min
    What makes the Civil War so fascinating is that it presents an endless number of "what if" scenarios - moments when the outcome of the war (and therefore world history) hinged on a single small mistake or omission. In this audiobook, Civil War historian Edward Bonekemper highlights the 10 biggest Civil War blunders, focusing in on intimate moments of military indecision and inaction involving great generals like Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, and William T. Sherman as well as less effective generals such as George B. McClellan, Benjamin Butler, and Henry W. Halleck. Bonekemper shows how these 10 blunders significantly affected the outcome of the war, and explores how history might easily have been very different if these blunders were avoided. ungekürzt.

    Thinner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 607min
    The name on the covers was Bachman. But the imagination could only belong to one man: Stephen King. 'Thinner' - the old gypsy man barely whispers the word. Billy feels the touch of a withered hand on his cheek. Billy Halleck, prosperous if overweight citizen, happily married, shuddered then turned angrily away. The old woman's death had been none of his fault. The courts had cleared him. She'd just stumbled in front of his car. Now he simply wanted to forget the whole messy business. Later, when the scales told him he was losing weight, it was what the doctor ordered. His wife was pleased - as she should have been. But.... 'Thinner' - the word, the old man's curse, has lodged in Billy's mind like a fattening worm, eating at his flesh, at his reason. And with his despair, comes violence. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Terrible Swift Sword (eBook, ePUB)
    The second episode in this award-winning trilogy impressively shows how the Union and Confederacy, slowly and inexorably, reconciled themselves to an all-out war-an epic struggle for freedom. In Terrible Swift Sword, Bruce Catton tells the story of the Civil War as never before-of two turning points which changed the scope and meaning of the war. First, he describes how the war slowly but steadily got out of control. This would not be the neat, short, "limited" war both sides had envisioned. And then the author reveals how the sweeping force of all-out conflict changed the war's purpose, in turning it into a war for human freedom. It was not initially a war against slavery. Instead, this was, Mr. Lincoln kept insisting, a fight to reunite the United States. At first, it was not even much of a fight. Cautious generals; inexperienced, incompetent, or jealous administrators; shortages of good people and supplies; excess of both gloom and optimism, kept each side from swinging into decisive action. As the buildup began, there were maddening delays. The earliest engagements were halting and inconclusive. After these first tests at arms, reputations began to crumble. Buell, Halleck, Beauregard Albert Sidney Johnston. Failed to drive ahead-for reasons good and bad. General McClellan (impaled in these pages on the arrogant words of his letters) captured more imaginations than enemies, and continued to accept serious over estimates of Confederate strength while becoming more and more fatally estranged from his own government.

    The Shiloh Campaign: Civil War Campaigns in the Heartland , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 413min
    Some 100,000 soldiers fought in the April 1862 battle of Shiloh, and nearly 20,000 men were killed or wounded; more Americans died on that Tennessee battlefield than had died in all the nation's previous wars combined. In the first book in his new series, Steven E. Woodworth has brought together a group of superb historians to reassess this significant battle and provide in-depth analyses of key aspects of the campaign and its aftermath. The eight talented contributors dissect the campaign's fundamental events, many of which have not received adequate attention before now. John R. Lundberg examines the role of Albert Sidney Johnston, the prized Confederate commander who recovered impressively after a less-than-stellar performance at forts Henry and Donelson only to die at Shiloh; Alexander Mendoza analyzes the crucial, and perhaps decisive, struggle to defend the Union's left; Timothy B. Smith investigates the persistent legend that the Hornet's Nest was the spot of the hottest fighting at Shiloh; Steven E. Woodworth follows Lew Wallace's controversial march to the battlefield and shows why Ulysses S. Grant never forgave him; Gary D. Joiner provides the deepest analysis available of action by the Union gunboats; Grady McWhiney describes P. G. T. Beauregard's decision to stop the first day's attack and takes issue with his claim of victory; and Charles D. Grear shows the battle's impact on Confederate soldiers, many of whom did not consider the battle a defeat for their side. In the final chapter, Brooks D. Simpson analyzes how command relationships - specifically the interactions among Grant, Henry Halleck, William T. Sherman, and Abraham Lincoln - affected the campaign and debunks commonly held beliefs about Grant's reactions to Shiloh's aftermath. The Shiloh Campaign will enhance readers' understanding of a pivotal battle that helped unlock the western theater to Union conquest. It is sure to inspire further study of and debate about one ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Samuel F.. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/006378/bk_acx0_006378_sample.mp3.
