The World as It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 945min

From one of Obama’s closest aides comes a revelatory, behind-the-scenes account of his presidency - and how idealism can confront harsh reality and still survive - in the tradition of Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.’s A Thousand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House. For nearly 10 years, Ben Rhodes saw almost everything that happened at the center of the Obama administration - first as a speechwriter, then as deputy national security advisor, and finally as a multipurpose aide and close collaborator. He started every morning in the Oval Office with the President’s Daily Brief, traveled the world with Obama, and was at the center of some of the most consequential and controversial moments of the presidency. Now, he tells the full story of his partnership - and, ultimately, friendship - with a man who also happened to be a historic president of the United States. Rhodes was not your typical presidential confidant, and this is not your typical White House memoir. Rendered in vivid, novelistic detail by someone who was a writer before he was a staffer, this is a rare look inside the most poignant, tense, and consequential moments of the Obama presidency - waiting out the bin Laden raid in the Situation Room, responding to the Arab Spring, reaching a nuclear agreement with Iran, leading secret negotiations with the Cuban government to normalize relations, and confronting the resurgence of nationalism and nativism that culminated in the election of Donald Trump. In The World as It Is, Rhodes shows what it was like to be there - from the early days of the Obama campaign to the final hours of the presidency. It is a story populated by such characters as Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Hillary Clinton, Bob Gates, and - above all - Barack Obama, who comes to life in moments of great urgency and disarming intimacy. This is the most vivid portrayal yet of Obama’s worldview and presidency, a chronicle of a political education by ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ben Rhodes, Mark Deakins.

Nixon's White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1054min

From Vietnam to the Southern Strategy, from the opening of China to the scandal of Watergate, Pat Buchanan - speechwriter and senior adviser to President Nixon - tells the untold story of Nixon's embattled White House, from its historic wins to it devastating defeats.In his inaugural address, Nixon held out a hand in friendship to Republicans and Democrats alike. But by the fall of 1969, massive demonstrations in Washington and around the country had been mounted to break his presidency.In a brilliant appeal to what he called the "Great Silent Majority", Nixon sent his enemies reeling. Vice President Agnew followed by attacking the blatant bias of the media in a fiery speech authored and advocated by Buchanan. And by 1970, Nixon's approval rating soared to 68 percent, and he was labeled "The Most Admired Man in America".Then one by one, the crises came, from the invasion of Cambodia, to the protests that killed four students at Kent State, to race riots and court ordered school busing.Buchanan chronicles Nixon's historic trip to China, and describes the White House strategy that brought about Nixon's 49-state landslide victory over George McGovern in 1972.When the Watergate scandal broke, Buchanan urged the president to destroy the Nixon tapes before they were subpoenaed, and fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, as Nixon ultimately did in the "Saturday Night Massacre". After testifying before the Watergate Committee himself, Buchanan describes the grim scene at Camp David in August 1974, when Nixon's staff concluded he could not survive.In a riveting memoir from behind the scenes of the most controversial presidency of the last century, Nixon's White House Wars reveals both the failings and achievements of the 37th President, recorded by one of those closest to Nixon, from before his political comeback through to his final days in office.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying ungekürzt.

The Beam: Season 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1083min

A sci-fi political thriller set in a terrifyingly real future When all of humanity is connected, the center of the web is the seat of true power. The world's old political borders have dissolved. The NAU is civilization's carcass, a nation ruled by two political parties: Enterprise, the sink-or-swim party where each party member has no one else to blame for their starvation or astronomical wealth; and Directorate, whose members have a guaranteed safety net but can never rise above their station. Every six years, an election determines the NAU's future. The process is called Shift, and the next one is approaching. With humanity intertwined by way of the Beam—a hyper-advanced version of the Internet that serves every whim and need—Shift is the be-all and the end-all. More than an electoral method, it is the future's political discourse. In the midst of tumultuous politics, some players are making their own moves. Doc, a black-market nanoenhancement vendor, discovers a disturbing trend of upgrades among his clientele. Nicolai, political speechwriter for the head of Directorate, struggles to find his independence in a life that is supposed to be devoted to the Party, all the while unaware of his own terrifying connection to the Beam. And Kai, an escort and assassin as lethal as she is flexible, becomes embroiled in the machinations of her top clients—because after all, the political elite choose only the best to warm their sheets at night. And through it all, a shadowy group is pulling strings behind the scenes, guiding Shift exactly where they want it to go. Their identities are unknown to all but a few, and anyone who stumbles upon them by accident—or, worse, learns their true goal—is swiftly disposed of. But if their power goes unchecked, they will shape the fate of millions for years to come … Plug your mind into The Beam. It's been waiting for you. ungekürzt. Language: English.

How to Create a Speech That Will Be Remembered , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min

I'm pretty sure that we can all agree on one thing: We'd like the next speech that we give to be a great speech. Now the big question that we are all faced with is: How exactly to go about making this happen? What you'll find inside: What's the best story that a public speaker can tell? Just how does one create a keynote presentation? How to write the perfect speech Personal information: How much should a presenter reveal? The one thing that will make any speech appeal to an audience is if we include a great story in it. However, we've got to have a way to figure out what the best story that we can include would be. Every speech that we are asked to give is different, but keynote speeches are the most visible. The good news is that there is a very specific way to go about making this type of speech. An audience wants to know more about the person who is addressing them. Specifically, they often want to know about the bad things that have happened to you and how you have dealt with them. We get some help in figuring out how to communicate things like this if we go to the pros for help. Jack Welch's speechwriter is one person who can lend us a hand. When we want to write the perfect speech, we need to have the creative ideas that will make it a great speech. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we just run out of ideas. This is when it becomes time to go read or listen to a book. If you are given a short amount of time in which to deliver your speech, you need to very carefully plan out what you'll say. The one thing that you don't want to do in any speech of any length is use naughty words. Stories are so powerful that we really should always be looking to include them in any speech that we give. This includes business presentations. However, we need to be careful about how much personal information we include in our stories, because it is possible to include too muc ungekürzt.
