Leni: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 861min
Leni Riefenstahl, "Hitler's filmmaker", remains one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century. Susan Sontag, though one of her severest critics, said that Triumph of the Will and Olympia, Riefenstahl's most noted films, "may be the two greatest documentaries ever made". Others see her story as an object lesson about opportunism: the story of an ambitious narcissist and unrepentant Nazi sympathizer whose glorifications of Hitler and the Third Reich helped pave the way for the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust. Bach lets the facts speak for themselves, including many newly uncovered, and the facts are rarely kind to Riefenstahl.We see Riefenstahl at the age of 100 as someone who could face the cameras to announce that, as a member of Greenpeace, she mourned the fates of sea creatures that die in transport from their native habitats to the aquariums of the world, but could not express remorse for the millions of Jews, gypsies, and others murdered by the Third Reich and the Fuhrer she elevated to myth. ungekürzt.

Parent Guide: Helping Children of Divorce (CoD): I-Can-Do-It Book Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
This is a power-point audiobook in the I-Can-Do-It Book series. This audiobook covers post-divorce adjustment problems for children, adolescents and young adults. They are the Children of Divorce (CoD). Divorce is a surrealistic and confusing time. Family permanence shatters, venerability of parents dissolves, the covenant of safety ends, feelings of victimization and abandonment intensify, and the expected new role of the offspring - as sympathizer or mediator - forces unwanted changes. As survivors, CoD's suffer predictable symptoms of resentment, family alienation, identity revision, parent replacement, and depression. In this audiobook, parents learn concrete steps to show CoD's how to (a) sample the parent's new world, (b) treat the parent as he or she did before the divorce, (c) view parent as having mortal flaws, and (d) invite the parent to care for them and their own offspring. You will briefly read information, then see a power point slide. Then, answer a question about what you just saw. This allows for fast-learning, and ready-to-use skills. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, Hörbuch, Digital, 546min
The murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history, the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth. From April 14 to April 26, 1865, the assassin led Union cavalry and detectives on a wild 12-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia, while the nation, still reeling from the just-ended Civil War, watched in horror and sadness. At the very center of this story is John Wilkes Booth, America's notorious villain. A Confederate sympathizer and a member of a celebrated acting family, Booth threw away his fame and wealth for a chance to avenge the South's defeat. For almost two weeks, he confounded the manhunters, slipping away from their every move and denying them the justice they sought. Based on rare archival materials, obscure trial transcripts, and Lincoln's own blood relics, Manhunt is a fully documented work, but it is also a fascinating tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal. A gripping hour-by-hour account told through the eyes of the hunted and the hunters, this is history as you've never read it before. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Thomas.

Decades later, in the middle of a raging World War II, Winston’s special agent Martin Rand struggles to unlock Mapungubwe’s secrets again before German forces, lead by Nazi-sympathizer Lord Sterne, can overwhelm and capture it.

Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt: The Rivalry That Divided America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
Was aviation pioneer and popular American hero Charles A. Lindbergh a Nazi sympathizer and anti-Semite? Or was he the target of a vicious personal vendetta by President Roosevelt? In Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt, author James Duffy tackles these questions head-on by examining the conflicting personalities, aspirations, and actions of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Charles A. Lindbergh. Painting a politically incorrect portrait of both men, Duffy shows how the hostility between these two American giants divided the nation on both domestic and international affairs. From canceling U.S. airmail contracts to intervening in World War II, Lindbergh and Roosevelt’s clash of ideas and opinions shaped the nation’s policies here and abroad. Insightful and engaging, Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt reveals the untold story about two of history’s most controversial men and how the White House waged a smear campaign against Lindbergh that blighted his reputation forever. James Duffy is a lecturer and writer who specializes in military history. He has written 15 books, including Target: America: Hitler’s Plan to Attack the United States and Lincoln’s Admiral: The Civil War Campaigns of David Farragut. His books have received positive reviews from The Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, Publishers Weekly, and more. He lives in Bound Brook, New Jersey. ungekürzt. Language: English.
