In Passage Perilous: Malta and the Convoy Battles of June 1942 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
By mid-1942 the Allies were losing the Mediterranean war: Malta was isolated and its civilian population faced starvation. In June 1942 the British Royal Navy made a stupendous effort to break the Axis stranglehold. The British dispatched armed convoys from Gibraltar and Egypt toward Malta. In a complex battle lasting more than a week, Italian and German forces defeated Operation Vigorous, the larger eastern effort, and ravaged the western convoy, Operation Harpoon, in a series of air, submarine, and surface attacks culminating in the Battle of Pantelleria. Just two of 17 merchant ships that set out for Malta reached their destination. In Passage Perilous presents a detailed description of the operations and assesses the actual impact Malta had on the fight to deny supplies to Rommel's army in North Africa. The book's discussion of the battle's operational aspects highlights the complex relationships between air and naval power and the influence of geography on littoral operations. ungekürzt.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science-fiction novel by Jules Verne, published in 1869. One day, ships start sinking, particularly ones dealing with war. Survivors think it is a big whale. A harpoon ship goes out to kill it, but finds out that the "whale" is actually the Nautilus, a submarine. The most interesting part of this book is probably the Nautilus itself. It is shaped to look like a fish, with a large metal fin on top used to ram and sink ships. The camouflage works, until the Nautilus takes on a few passengers from one of the sinking ships. The novel tells the story of Captain Nemo and his submarine as seen from the perspective of Professor Pierre Aronnax. It translated into Hebrew by Bina Ofek and was published by Ofarim. The audiobook version was produced by SonicBooks. Please note: This audiobook is in Hebrew. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Kis-Lev.
