The Greatest Battles in History: The Battle of Stalingrad , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 84min

Approaching this place, soldiers used to say: 'We are entering hell.' And after spending one or two days here, they say: 'No, this isn't hell, this is ten times worse than hell.' - Soviet general Vasily Chuikov World War II was fought on a scale unlike anything before or since in human history, and the unfathomable casualty counts are attributable in large measure to the carnage inflicted between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during Hitler's invasion of Russia and Stalin's desperate defense. The invasion came in 1941 following a nonaggression pact signed between the two in 1939, which allowed Hitler to focus his attention on the west without having to worry about an attack from the eastern front. While Germany was focusing on the west, the Soviet Union sent large contingents of troops to the border region between the two countries, and Stalin's plan to take territory in Poland and the Baltic States angered Hitler. By 1940, Hitler viewed Stalin as a major threat and had made the decision to invade Russia: "In the course of this contest, Russia must be disposed of...Spring 1941. The quicker we smash Russia the better." (Hoyt, p. 17) The surprise achieved by the German invasion in 1941 allowed their armies to advance rapidly across an incredibly wide front, but once winter set in, the two sides had to dig in and brace for German sieges of Russian cities. In the spring of 1942, Germany once more made inroads toward Stalingrad, Stalin's own pet city. Not surprisingly, he ordered that it be held no matter what. There was more than vanity at stake though. Stalingrad was all that stood between Hitler and Moscow. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom McElroy.

Biafra: The History and Legacy of the Secessionist Republic of Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min

[A] cardinal principle of British colonial policy [is] that the interests of a large native population shall not be subject to the will...of a small minority of educated and Europeanized natives. - Lord Frederick Lugard Nigeria was the creation of a British businessman by the name of Sir George Taubman Goldie. The gifted son of a substantial Manx military officer and politician, Goldie was educated at the prestigious Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, after which he served briefly in the army before embarking on a journey of adventure to West Africa. The year was 1877, and the West African coast was sub-divided into the spheres of influence of various European trading concerns, and while some exploration of the interior had taken place, the European rush to claim the region had yet to begin in earnest. Nigeria was an unpopular destination for European settlement, thanks to its punishing climate and proliferation of tropical disease, so it saw very little direct European influence. Europeans were posted to Nigeria or sought employment purely to satisfy the needs of administration, and, of course, the various Christian missionary organizations were led largely by whites. Christian missions, incidentally, succeeded spectacularly in the spreading of Christianity across the animist south, but they made absolutely no inroads in the Muslim north. Nigeria was among the first African colonies to be groomed for independence, and upon its success as a free nation, Britain staked a great deal. The process was lengthy, bearing in mind both the intricate ethnic tapestry of the region and the relatively complex systems of government, involving a number of different permutations in the 15 years between the end of World War II and 1960, when independence was finally granted. ungekürzt.

God Is (Not) in Control: The Whole Story Is Better Than You Think , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 323min

God is not in control, but He is in charge. -Bill Johnson The moment we said yes to Jesus, we were invited to transition from sinner to saint, from orphan to son, from lost to found, from law to grace, from slave to free, and from a theology of control to a theology of love...."The opposite of love is not fear, it's control." -Donald Miller With grace and wisdom, Jason writes about two narratives on the planet, two ways by which to know God; control or love. "God is sovereign, and God is in control are two different thoughts, they are two totally different things." -Todd White Jason highlights how a theology of sovereign control compromises God's goodness and positions humanity in the most desperate of insecurities. "The belief that God controls everything that happens to us is one of the devil's biggest inroads into our lives." -Andrew Wommack This audiobook is an invitation to grow sure in God's sovereign love and transition from fear, insecurity and striving into trust, intimacy, and freedom. "If God was in control, you wouldn't have any freedom, you'd be controlled." -Graham Cooke God Is (Not) In Control is saturated with revelation. It shines with the goodness of God. This book's message will encourage: Those who are hungry to understand and experience authentic encounters with God's love.Those who desire to be set free from anxiety, insecurity, and fear. Those who's relationships have been marked by control instead of love.Those who have struggled with the question of hell and pain in light of God's goodness and loveThose seeking greater understanding regarding how God's Kingdom works here on Earth. ungekürzt.

Get Off My Case : Stockton Wolves, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 425min

The first 20,000 words of this story were published as a free read for the Goodreads MM Romance Group Love's Landscapes Project. A total of 49,000 words have been added to make this into the audiobook my characters wanted it to be. Shane West was used to being the only wolf shifter at the Stockton Police Department. His enhanced senses helped him do his job efficiently, and he prided himself on keeping control of his animal instincts. Gay from the first day he'd shifted, he also expected to live his long life alone, and provided it meant that he didn't have to come into contact with any of his ex-pack, he told himself he was happy. And he was. Until Dimitri Polst was assigned as his new partner. Confirmed ladies’ man, Dimitri Polst knew Shane from before he'd ever shifted into his wolf form. Two years older and from the same pack, Dimitri had made it his teenage mission to bring as much pain and humiliation to pretty-boy Shane as possible. But eight years later, he searched for that pretty boy, now all grown up, with a completely different mission in mind. Being fated mates was hard enough, but when one man is straight and the other one has no reason to trust, then sparks are bound to fly. Add in a serial killer who is making inroads into the gay population and a possible shifter involvement, and Shane and Dimitri have a lot of thing to overcome before they get their HEA. Warnings: This audiobook is a love story between gay male shifters. It includes graphic depictions of sexual acts between men, some violence, and coarse language. If these things don't interest you, then please don't buy this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John York.

Liver-Eating Johnson: The Life and Legacy of the Famous Mountain Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min

To possess and develop western North America became a high priority for the United States government even before its Constitution had been complete. For President Thomas Jefferson, the vast terrain of plains, mountains, and extensive coastlines offered both long-term prosperity and protection from competing international powers. Railroads were still some decades off, and passable roads were all but nonexistent. From its first interactions with numerous Indian cultures, the government understood that the western portion of the continent was already "owned" by a variety of indigenous tribes, despite their alternate concept of ownership. To gain possession of the coasts and the interior meant there would be new languages to be learned, hundreds of treaties to be struck, and wars to be fought over several regions. No familiar institutions of power were suitable for creating a foothold in the continent's interior, especially in the Rocky Mountain region. The US Army eventually made inroads to the Great Plains and beyond, but the first true explorers of the far west’s interior arose from within a relatively small culture embodied by the American mountain man. By the golden age of the mountain man in the mid-19th-century, there were perhaps only 3,000 living in the West. Their origins were disparate, although they included many Anglo-Americans. A good number hailed from wilderness regions of Kentucky and Virginia and throughout the newly purchased Louisiana Territory, which occupied the entire central section of the continent. French Canadians traveled from the north to work in the fur trade, while Creole-Europeans represented approximately 15% of the men known to be living the isolated mountain life. Although the most enduring accomplishments belonged to the mountain men who had discovered, charted, and helped build the great passes through the Rockies to the west, others have retained public fascination for simply being colorful and elusive hi ungekürzt.
