Title: The Scapegoat: The Brilliant Brief Life of the Duke of Buckingham Author: Lucy Hughes-Hallett Narrator: Lucy Hughes-Hallett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 10, 2024 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: From the winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize, an extraordinary story of the meteoric rise and fall of George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham. 'Lord Buckingham rockets off the page of this gloriously epic, seductively detailed biography' OLIVIA LAING ‘This is the page-turner that Buckingham’s short, racy life deserves’DAILY TELEGRAPH ‘Vivid, erudite and sympathetic … The Scapegoat shows that [Hughes-Hallett’s] eye for the seamy realities of an extraordinary life is as sharp as ever’ THE TIMES As King James I’s favourite, Buckingham was also his confidant, gatekeeper, right-hand man and lover. When Charles I succeeded his father, he was similarly enthralled and made Buckingham his best friend and mentor. A dazzling figure on horseback and a skilful player of the political game, Buckingham rapidly transformed the influence his beauty gave him into immense wealth and power. He became one of the most flamboyant and enigmatic Englishmen at the heart of seventeenth-century royal and political life. With a novelist’s touch, Lucy Hughes-Hallett transports us into a courtly world of masques and dancing, exquisite clothes, the art of Rubens and Van Dyck, gender-fluidity, same-sex desire and appallingly rudimentary medicine. Witch hunts coexisted with Francis Bacon’s empiricism and public opinion was becoming a political force. Falling from grace spectacularly, Buckingham came to represent everything that was wrong with the country. From kidnappings and murder plots to men weeping in Parliament over civil liberties, The Scapegoat navigates love, war-fever and pacifism in a society on the brink of cataclysmic change. In this immersive and authoritative account, Hughes-Hallett summons an era that still resonates today. - 'The Scapegoat brilliantly dramatises the complex and glittering Duke of Buckingham and the political and sexual intrigue of the court of James I.

She was also a little unworldly, the product of a small, rural Western Canadian community where doors were never locked and life was simple and direct.

Easy to like, easy to believe. Easy to love. A man without mercy who shattered her emotionally, psychologically and financially.      Decades later, Kenner Jones is at large today, having committed crimes around the world under a series of fake names and personas.

Title: In Other Words, Leadership: How a Young Mother's Weekly Letters to Her Governor Helped Both Women Brave the First Pandemic Year Author: Shannon A. Mullen Narrator: Shannon A. Mullen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 34 minutes Release date: June 20, 2023 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: “A remarkable story of work, worry, art, faith, community, life, and hope. An instant classic.”  — Heather Cox Richardson, author of the New York Times bestseller Democracy Awakening 'A heartfelt and moving story . . . Just as important, it’s also a well-timed lesson in civics.'  — Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls Two unforgettable women from opposite poles of power in Maine forge an uplifting bond through good, old-fashioned letter writing that helps them navigate the COVID crisis Both women bring civility, grace, wit, and wisdom to the challenge of protecting those who depend on them — in other words, leadership This trip to the “Vacationland” of Maine — where the state motto is I Lead — offers an inspiring tale of civility and purpose, of doing the right thing and not just surviving, but prevailing. The first woman to serve as governor of Maine, Janet Mills, had been in office a year when COVID-19 reached the United States. The recently-widowed 72-year-old wrote in her journal there is “no playbook for a pandemic” as she imposed unprecedented restrictions on her state. When early support for the governor’s response curdled to rampant opposition, a young mother named Ashirah Knapp sent a letter of support from a remote homestead in the woods of Maine. Ashirah’s handwritten dispatch detailed how the public health emergency was upending her family’s life and livelihood, and she promised to keep writing “every week until we are through this time” to remind the governor how many Mainers supported her despite the disruption. Ashirah’s letters, with their simple wisdom and striking penmanship, stood out in a flood of correspondence Governor Mills was receiving that ranged in tone from appreciative to furious. They helped keep her grounded as she made wrenching, often unpopular choices. Shannon A.

Title: Breathe: Seven Ways to Win a Greener World Author: Sadiq Khan Narrator: Sadiq Khan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 46 minutes Release date: May 25, 2023 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A seven-step guide to winning support for tough action on climate change - the first book from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan For many years, Sadiq wasn't fully aware of the dangers posed by air pollution, nor its connection with climate change. Then, at the age of 43, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with adult-onset asthma - brought on by the polluted London air he had been breathing for decades. Scandalised, Sadiq underwent a political transformation that would see him become one of the most prominent global politicians fighting (and winning) elections on green issues. Since becoming Mayor of London in 2016, he has declared a climate emergency, introduced the world's first Ultra-Low Emission Zone, built hundreds of kilometres of new cycle lanes, led a drive for affordable insulation in council homes, and turned London into the first ever 'National Park City'. But with every year bringing more wildfires, extreme temperatures and flooding - and with around 4,000 people still dying prematurely from London's polluted air every year, with older, working class and ethnic minority Londoners most affected - there is so much more to do. Now, Sadiq draws on his experiences to identify the seven ways environmental action gets blown off course. And he reveals how to get it back on track, by: - Proving to sceptics that the climate crisis is a health crisis too; - Overcoming voters' cynicism by building coalitions across the political spectrum; - Shaking hands with everyone from your fiercest opponents to the most steadfast climate activists (even if you're a bit worried they might superglue you). Breathe is a call to action demonstrating how anyone - whether voter, activist or politician - can win the argument on climate. It will help create a world where we can all breathe again. ©2023 Sadiq Khan (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575835Thu, 25 May 2023 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575835 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Washington: A Legacy of Leadership Series: Part of The Generals Author: Paul Vickery Narrator: Chad Escue Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 22 minutes Release date: May 9, 2023 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: His name is carved in granite, his likeness cast in bronze, his legend as large as the role he played as America's first president. But before he was a commander-in-chief, George Washington was a general in a revolution that would decide the future of the people and land he called his own. If victorious, he would gain immortality. If defeated, he would find his neck in a hangman's noose. Washington knew the sting of defeat—at Brandywine, at Germantown—yet this unwavering leadership and his vision for a new and independent nation emboldened an army prepared to fight barefoot if necessary to win that independence. Wrote an officer after the Battle of Princeton:  'I saw him brave all the dangers of the field and his important life hanging as it were by a single hair with a thousand deaths flying around him.' Among America's pantheon of Founding Fathers, one man to this day stands out.  Author Paul Vickery tracks the unlikely rise of Washington, a man whose stature in command of a young army became prelude to a presidency. As Vickery writes, 'He learned to become the father of our country by first being the father of our military.'

Washington knew the sting of defeat—at Brandywine, at Germantown—yet this unwavering leadership and his vision for a new and independent nation emboldened an army prepared to fight barefoot if necessary to win that independence. Wrote an officer after the Battle of Princeton:  'I saw him brave all the dangers of the field and his important life hanging as it were by a single hair with a thousand deaths flying around him.' Among America's pantheon of Founding Fathers, one man to this day stands out.  Author Paul Vickery tracks the unlikely rise of Washington, a man whose stature in command of a young army became prelude to a presidency. As Vickery writes, 'He learned to become the father of our country by first being the father of our military.'

One of the most celebrated political leaders of the twentieth century, Nelson Mandela has been written about by many biographers and historians. But in one crucial area, his life remains largely untold: his marriage to Winnie. During his years in prison, Nelson grew ever more in love with an idealised version of his wife, courting her in his letters as if they were young lovers frozen in time. But Winnie, every bit his political equal, found herself increasingly estranged from her jailed husband ’ s politics. Behind his back, she was trying to orchestrate an armed seizure of power, a path he feared would lead to an endless civil war. From one of South Africa’s foremost nonfiction writers, a deeply researched, shattering new account of Nelson Mandela’s relationship with Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.

Jonny Steinberg tells the tale of this unique marriage – its longings, its obsessions, its deceits – turning the course of South African history into a page-turning political biography. Winnie & Nelson is a modern epic in which trauma doesn’t just affect the couple at its centre, but an entire nation. It is also a Shakespearean drama in which bonds of love and commitment mingle with timeless questions of revolution, such as whether to seek retribution or a negotiated peace. Told with power and tender emotional insight, Steinberg reveals how far these forever entwined leaders would go for one another, and also, where they drew the line. For in the end both knew theirs was not simply a marriage, but a contest to decide how apartheid should be fought.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/603636Tue, 02 May 2023 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/603636 to listen full audiobooks.

Davis Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 52 minutes Release date: May 2, 2023 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: No American president has enjoyed as intimate a relationship with the soldiers in his army as did the man they called “Father Abraham.” In Lincoln’s Men, historian William C. Davis draws on thousands of unpublished letters and diaries—the voices of the volunteers—to tell the hidden story of how a new and untested president became “Father” throughout both the army and the North as a whole. How did Lincoln inspire the faith and courage of so many shattered men, as they wandered the inferno of Shiloh or were entrenched in the siege of Vicksburg? Why did soldiers visiting Washington feel free to stroll into the White House as if it were their own home? In this thorough and authoritative work, Davis removes layers of mythmaking to recapture the real moods and feelings of an army facing one of history’s bloodiest conflicts.

Title: We All Go into the Dark Author: Francisco Garcia Narrator: Angus King Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: A captivating, eloquent and deeply original book, We All Go into the Dark is an absolute must-read for true-crime fans across the board. Three women were brutally murdered between early 1968 and late 1969, each after a night dancing at Glasgow’s infamous Barrowland Ballroom. Their murders were linked and ascribed to the spectre of the well-dressed, scripture-quoting killer who had apparently stalked the city’s dancehalls. The figure was never caught or identified. But the intervening years spawned a legend that never quite lost its grip on the popular imagination of Glasgow. The killings provoked the country’s largest ever manhunt, as well as countless suspects, books, documentaries, earnest speculation, pub theorising and bouts of urban mythmaking.

Our legal system often feels like it only works for the rich and powerful - for those who have the means to use the courts to enforce their will and defend their interests. But we can fight back. Jolyon Maugham KC founded Good Law Project in 2017 with the belief that the law can also put power in the hands of ordinary people. It has brought a series of landmark cases against a dishonest and increasingly autocratic government and won widespread acclaim in successfully reversing Boris Johnson's unlawful suspension of Parliament. Already the largest legal campaign group in the UK, Good Law Project is shining light into corners the establishment would rather keep dark - from the failures of Brexit to the still-developing PPE scandal, to the tax arrangements of business giants like Uber. In Bringing Down Goliath, Jolyon Maugham shares his inspiration and his purpose, and he reveals the story behind these landmark cases and the hidden fault lines of our judiciary system. He offers an empowering, bold new vision for how the law can work better for all of us in the fight against injustice. ©2023 Jolyon Maugham (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/610794Thu, 27 Apr 2023 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/610794 to listen full audiobooks.

In this brilliant book, Richard Norton Smith tells the rest of the story. On every other page I found something I didn’t know, bringing new and important insights into how Ford kept the nation together and moved it past its most severe political crisis since the Civil War. It will become the definitive work on Ford and his presidency.'' -- Bob Schieffer, CBS News From the preeminent presidential scholar and acclaimed biographer of historical figures including George Washington, Herbert Hoover, and Nelson Rockefeller comes this eye-opening life of Gerald R. Ford, whose presidency arguably set the course for post-liberal America and a post-Cold War world. For many Americans, President Gerald Ford was the genial accident of history who controversially pardoned his Watergate-tarnished predecessor, presided over the fall of Saigon, and became a punching bag on Saturday Night Live. Yet as Richard Norton Smith reveals in a book full of surprises, Ford was an underrated leader whose tough decisions and personal decency look better with the passage of time. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents, Smith recreates Ford’s hardscrabble childhood in Michigan, his early anti-establishment politics and lifelong love affair with the former Betty Bloomer, whose impact on American culture he predicted would outrank his own. As president, Ford guided the nation through its worst Constitutional crisis since the Civil War and broke the back of the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression—accomplishing both with little fanfare or credit (at least until 2001 when the JFK Library gave him its prestigious Profile in Courage Award in belated recognition of the Nixon pardon). Less coda than curtain raiser, Ford's administration bridged the Republican pragmatism of Eisenhower and Nixon and the more doctrinaire conservatism of Ronald Reagan. His introduction of economic deregulation would transform the American economy, while his embrace of the Helsinki Accords hastened the collapse of the Soviet Union. This definitive biography, a decade in the making, will change history’s views of a man whose warning about presidential arrogance (“God help the country”) is more relevant than ever.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/615113Tue, 11 Apr 2023 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/615113 to listen full audiobooks.

[Biskupic's] long experience covering the court . . . has put her in an incomparable position to comment on its make-up, historical positions and direction. It has also made her privy to many significant, little-known secrets about Supreme Court personalities and their historical behaviors.'' —The National Book Review CNN Senior Supreme Court Analyst Joan Biskupic provides an urgent and inside look at the history-making era in the Supreme Court during the Trump and post-Trump years, from its seismic shift to the Right to its controversial decisions, including its reversal of Roe v. Wade, based on access to all the key players. Nine Black Robes displays the inner maneuverings among the Supreme Court justices that led to the seismic reversal of Roe v. Wade and a half century of women’s abortion rights. Biskupic details how rights are stripped away or, alternatively as in the case of gun owners, how rights are expanded. Today’s bench—with its conservative majority—is desperately ideological. The Court has been headed rightward and ensnared by its own intrigues for years, but the Trump appointments hastened the modern transformation. With unparalleled access to key players, Biskupic shows the tactics of each justice and reveals switched votes and internal pacts that typically never make the light of day, yet will have repercussions for generations to come. Nine Black Robes is the definitive narrative of the country’s highest court and its profound impact on all Americans.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618167Tue, 04 Apr 2023 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618167 to listen full audiobooks.

It has also made her privy to many significant, little-known secrets about Supreme Court personalities and their historical behaviors.'' —The National Book Review CNN Senior Supreme Court Analyst Joan Biskupic provides an urgent and inside look at the history-making era in the Supreme Court during the Trump and post-Trump years, from its seismic shift to the Right to its controversial decisions, including its reversal of Roe v. Wade, based on access to all the key players. Nine Black Robes displays the inner maneuverings among the Supreme Court justices that led to the seismic reversal of Roe v. Wade and a half century of women’s abortion rights. Biskupic details how rights are stripped away or, alternatively as in the case of gun owners, how rights are expanded. Today’s bench—with its conservative majority—is desperately ideological. The Court has been headed rightward and ensnared by its own intrigues for years, but the Trump appointments hastened the modern transformation. With unparalleled access to key players, Biskupic shows the tactics of each justice and reveals switched votes and internal pacts that typically never make the light of day, yet will have repercussions for generations to come. Nine Black Robes is the definitive narrative of the country’s highest court and its profound impact on all Americans.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/alice-alice-roosevelt-longworth-from-white-house-princess-to-washington-power-broker-by-stacy-a-cordery--65158587https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/621905 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Great and Horrible News: Murder and Mayhem in Early Modern Britain Author: Blessin Adams Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 40 minutes Release date: March 30, 2023 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: ‘Grimly fascinating … engrossing’ Daily Mail NINE HISTORIC CRIMES. ONE FAMILIAR OBSESSION. In early modern England, murder truly was most foul. Trials were gossipy events packed to the rafters with noisome spectators. Executions were public proceedings which promised not only gore, but desperate confessions and the grandest, most righteous human drama. Bookshops saw grisly stories of crime and death sell like hot cakes. This history unfolds the true stories of murder, criminal investigation, early forensic techniques, high court trials and so much more. In thrilling narrative, we follow a fugitive killer through the streets of London, citizen detectives clamouring to help officials close the net. We untangle the mystery of a suspected staged suicide through the newly emerging science of forensic pathology. We see a mother trying to clear her dead daughter’s name while other women faced the accusations – sometimes true and sometimes not – of murdering their own children. These stories are pieced together from original research using coroner’s inquests, court records, parish archives, letters, diaries and the cheap street pamphlets that proliferated to satisfy a voracious public. These intensely personal stories portray the lives of real people as they confronted the extraordinary crises of murder, infanticide, miscarriage and suicide. Many historical laws and attitudes concerning death and murder may strike us as exceptionally cruel, and yet many still remind us that some things never change: we are still fascinated by narratives of murder and true crime, murder trials today continue to be grand public spectacles, female killers are frequently cast as aberrant objects of public hatred and sexual desire, and suicide remains a sin within many religious organisations and was a crime in England until the 1960s. Great and Horrible News! explores the strange history of death and murder in early modern England, yet the stories within may appear shockingly familiar.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/589942Thu, 30 Mar 2023 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/589942 to listen full audiobooks.

There has been a disintegration of trust in political leaders and in the media that holds them to account. For all the progress humankind has made, for all the inventions and new technologies, our society is being undermined by inequality. We should care not simply because of its impact on productivity and growth, but because it's wrong. It's wrong that some don't have enough money to eat whilst others fly wagyu beef halfway across the planet for a couple of amusing mouthfuls. It's wrong that there are council residents unable to safely escape their homes if they catch fire. To fix it, we must begin by seeking out the truth about our world. In The State of Us, Jon Snow traces how the life of the nation has changed across his five-decade career, from getting thrown out of university for protesting apartheid to interviewing every prime minister since Margaret Thatcher. In doing so, he shows how the greatest problems at home and abroad so often come down to inequality and an unwillingness to confront it. But that is not our fate. Despite the challenges, Snow has witnessed profound social progress. In this passionate rallying cry, he argues that at its best, journalism reflects not just who we are now, but who we can be.

Now he reveals how he did it. He played baseball for Yale, graduated with honors from Harvard Law School, and served in Iraq and in the halls of Congress. But in all these places, Ron DeSantis learned the same lesson: He didn’t want to be part of the leftist elite. His heart was always for the people of Florida, one of the most diverse and culturally rich states in the union. Since becoming governor of the Sunshine State, he has fought—and won—battle after battle, defeating not just opposition from the political left, but a barrage of hostile media coverage proclaiming the end of the world. When he implemented COVID-19 policies based on evidence and focused on freedoms, the press launched a smear campaign against him, yet Florida’s economy thrived, its education system outperformed the nation, and Florida’s COVID mortality rate for seniors was lower than that in thirty-eight states. When he enacted policies to keep leftist political concepts like critical race theory and woke gender ideology out of Florida’s classrooms, the media demagogued his actions, but parents across Florida rallied to his cause. Dishonest attacks from the media don’t deter him. In fact, DeSantis keeps racking up wins for Floridians. In 2022, the governor delivered a historic, record-setting victory, winning by nearly 20 points and more than 1.5 million votes.

Make a great decision and read this book.”—Dana Perino, Fox News anchor and host, former White House press secretary In life, moments arise when you have to decide your next move. When choosing whether to accept a new job, purchase a house, attend a school, or start a relationship, how do you settle on which direction to take? Trey Gowdy has found that most consequential decisions boil down to three simple options: start, stay, or leave. Gowdy first developed this decision-making tool in the courtroom during a federal murder trial, and it has guided his life ever since. The practical framework has helped him decide where to raise his family, when to leave his dream job, whether to run for Congress, and when to step away from political life. Over the years, Gowdy has made some great decisions and some lousy ones (and he admits to both). In Start, Stay, or Leave, he shares his hard-earned wisdom. Filled with surprising insights and questions, this personal playbook teaches you how to • craft your unique vision of success • consult your dreams with wisdom (and know when to revise them) • assess the price worth paying to achieve your goals • balance logic, emotion, and fear when facing a new challenge • take the right advice, from the right people (and block out everyone else) • chart the course of your life with the end goal in mind Reading Start, Stay, or Leave is like sitting on the back porch of a farmhouse chatting with a wise friend.

In January of 2021, the Biden administration inherited the most daunting array of challenges since FDR’s presidency: a lethal pandemic, a plummeting economy, an unresolved twenty-year war, and the aftermath of an attack on the Capitol that polarized the country. Waves of crises followed, including the fallout from a divisive Supreme Court, raging inflation, and Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Now prizewinning journalist Chris Whipple takes us inside the Oval Office as the critical decisions of Biden’s presidency are being made. With remarkable access to both President Biden and his inner circle—including Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and CIA Director William Burns—Whipple pulls back the curtain on the internal power struggles and back-room compromises.

Title: Qualified: Finding Your Voice, Leading with Character, and Empowering Others Author: Mia Love Narrator: Mia Love, Jamie Renell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 50 minutes Release date: January 17, 2023 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: This memoir from the first Black Republican congresswoman in America shows readers how to own their stories, find their voices, and lead with character as they empower others to do the same.  For so long, women—and Black women in particular—have been taught that they must have a stellar background, the highest degree of education, and the strongest resumé imaginable to earn their place in a society historically dominated by white men. As a result, women have found themselves plagued with anxiety and self-doubt and have felt constricted by this limiting belief of qualification by achievement and the necessity of sporting a flawless track record. These false assumptions have discouraged women from pursuing positions of power and influence for the betterment of their communities, leading to underrepresentation in our institutions and the tragedy of wasted potential. But it doesn’t have to be this way.    Mia Love has devoted her entire life to defeating illusive boundaries and redefining the meaning of “qualified.” The daughter of immigrant parents who sacrificed everything to embrace the American Dream, Love learned that she had something unique and valuable that she could give back to her country—her voice.

Title: Qualified: Finding Your Voice, Leading with Character, and Empowering Others Author: Mia Love Narrator: Mia Love, Jamie Renell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 50 minutes Release date: January 17, 2023 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: This memoir from the first Black Republican congresswoman in America shows readers how to own their stories, find their voices, and lead with character as they empower others to do the same.  For so long, women—and Black women in particular—have been taught that they must have a stellar background, the highest degree of education, and the strongest resumé imaginable to earn their place in a society historically dominated by white men. As a result, women have found themselves plagued with anxiety and self-doubt and have felt constricted by this limiting belief of qualification by achievement and the necessity of sporting a flawless track record. These false assumptions have discouraged women from pursuing positions of power and influence for the betterment of their communities, leading to underrepresentation in our institutions and the tragedy of wasted potential. But it doesn’t have to be this way.    Mia Love has devoted her entire life to defeating illusive boundaries and redefining the meaning of “qualified.” The daughter of immigrant parents who sacrificed everything to embrace the American Dream, Love learned that she had something unique and valuable that she could give back to her country—her voice. And now she wants to empower others to do the same.    For years, Love faced intense scrutiny and fielded questions regarding her political party affiliation, her desire to run for office, and her commitment to championing conservative values. In Qualified, Love explains her answers to these questions by taking readers through her journey from election to her local city council, leading as mayor of Saratoga Springs, and making history in the U.S. House of Representatives serving Utah’s 4th Congressional District from 2015–2019.

Never Forget Our People Were Always Free illuminates for each of us how the path to healing America’s broken heart starts with each of us having the courage to heal our own.The son of parents who had to leave Maryland because their cross-racial marriage was illegal, Ben Jealous’ lively, courageous and empathetic storytelling calls on every American to look past deeply-cut divisions and recognize we are all in the same boat now. Along the way Jealous grapples with hidden American mysteries, including: Why do white men die from suicide more often than black men die from murder? How did racial profiling kill an American president? What happens when a Ku Klux Klansman wrestles with what Jesus actually said?  How did Dave Chappelle know the DC Snipers were Black?  Why shouldn't the civil rights movement give up on rednecks?

Zuckert Narrator: David Colacci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 54 minutes Release date: December 27, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The culmination of years of work on Abraham Lincoln's political thought, Michael Zuckert's A Nation So Conceived argues for a coherent center to Lincoln's political ideology. Zuckert provides invaluable guidance to understanding both Lincoln and the politics of the United States between 1845 and Lincoln's death in 1865 by focusing on roughly a dozen speeches that Lincoln made during his career. This listener-friendly chronological organization is motivated by Zuckert's emphasis on Lincoln as a practical politician who was always fully aware of the political context of the moment. According to Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg, America was new precisely because it was born in dedication to the first premise of the theory of democratic sovereignty: that all men are created equal. Lincoln's thought consisted in an ever-deepening meditation on the grounds and implications of that proposition, both in its constructive and in its destructive potential. A Nation So Conceived is devoted to exploring the paradoxical duality of 'created equal.' In a nearly comprehensive study of Lincoln's thought, Zuckert uses lessons he learned from decades of teaching to reveal how Lincoln understood both its truth and its pathological consequences while offering an assessment of his aims and achievements as a statesman.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/613910Tue, 27 Dec 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/613910 to listen full audiobooks.

Written and read by Sebastian Payne, Director of Onward and former Whitehall Editor for the Financial Times. Winner at the 2022 Parlimentary Book Awards A New Statesman, The Times, Daily Mail and FT Book of the Year 'Revelatory' - The Daily Telegraph 'Delicious detail' - The Times Boris Johnson was touted as the saviour of the country and the Conservative Party, obtaining a huge commons majority and finally 'getting Brexit done'.

Title: His Masterly Pen: A Biography of Jefferson the Writer Author: Fred Kaplan Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 24 hours 4 minutes Release date: November 22, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: As he did for Abraham Lincoln and John Quincy Adams, award-winning biographer Fred Kaplan offers a fresh, illuminating look at the life of Thomas Jefferson and his contributions as a writer. In this unique biography, Fred Kaplan emphasizes Thomas Jefferson’s genius with language and his ability to use the power of words to inspire and shape a nation. A man renowned for many talents, writing was one of the major activities of the statemen’s life, though much of his best, most influential writing—with the exception of the letters he wrote up to his death, numbering approximately 100,000—was done by 1789, when Jefferson was just forty-six. All of his works—from his earliest correspondence; his essays and proclamations, including A Summary View of British America, The Declaration of Independence, and Notes on the State of Virginia; his religious and scientific writings; his inaugural addresses; his addresses to Indian nations; and his exchanges with Washington, Madison, Hamilton, John and Abigail Adams, and dear friends such as Maria Cosway—demonstrate his remarkable intelligence, prescient wisdom, and literary flair and reveal the man in all his complex and controversial brilliance. In His Masterly Pen, readers will find a new appreciation of Jefferson as a whole, of his strengths and weaknesses, and particularly of the degree to which his writing skills—which James Madison admired as “the shining traces of his pen”—are key to his personality and public career. Though Jefferson could wield his pen with unrivaled power, he was also a master of using words to both reveal and conceal from others and himself the complications, the inconsistencies, and the contradictions between his principles and his policies, between his head and his heart, and between his optimistic view of human nature and the realities of his personal situation and the world he lived in.

Title: The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, the Cold War, and the World on the Brink Author: William Inboden Narrator: Robert Petkoff Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 52 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Winner of the Society of Presidential Descendants Book Award and the Age of Reagan Conference Book Prize One of the Wall Street Journal’s best political books of 2022 A masterful account of how Ronald Reagan and his national security team confronted the Soviets, reduced the nuclear threat, won the Cold War, and supported the spread of freedom around the world. “Remarkable… a great read.”—Robert Gates • “Mesmerizing… hard to put down.”—Paul Kennedy • “Full of fresh information… will shape all future studies of the role the United States played in ending the Cold War.”—John Lewis Gaddis • “A major contribution to our understanding of the Reagan presidency and the twilight of the Cold War era.”—David Kennedy With decades of hindsight, the peaceful end of the Cold War seems a foregone conclusion. But in the early 1980s, most experts believed the Soviet Union was strong, stable, and would last into the next century. Ronald Reagan entered the White House with no certainty of what would happen next, only an overriding faith in democracy and an abiding belief that Soviet communism—and the threat of nuclear war—must end.   The Peacemaker reveals how Reagan’s White House waged the Cold War while managing multiple crises around the globe. From the emergence of global terrorism, wars in the Middle East, the rise of Japan, and the awakening of China to proxy conflicts in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Reagan’s team oversaw the worldwide expansion of democracy, globalization, free trade, and the information revolution. Yet no issue was greater than the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. As president, Reagan remade the four-decades-old policy of containment and challenged the Soviets in an arms race and ideological contest that pushed them toward economic and political collapse, all while extending an olive branch of diplomacy as he sought a peaceful end to the conflict.    Reagan’s revolving team included Secretaries of State Al Haig and George Shultz; Secretaries of Defense Caspar Weinberger and Frank Carlucci; National Security Advisors Bill Clark, John Poindexter, and Bud McFarlane; Chief of Staff James Baker; CIA Director Bill Casey; and United Nations Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick. Talented and devoted to their president, they were often at odds with one another as rivalries and backstabbing led to missteps and crises. But over the course of the presidency, Reagan and his team still developed the strategies that brought about the Cold War’s peaceful conclusion and remade the world.   Based on thousands of pages of newly-declassified documents and interviews with senior Reagan officials, The Peacemaker brims with fresh insights into one of America’s most consequential presidents.  Along the way, it shows how the pivotal decade of the 1980s shaped the world today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575808Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575808 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Personality and Power: Builders and Destroyers of Modern Europe Author: Ian Kershaw Narrator: Matt Bates Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 25 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: One of New York Magazine's Most Anticipated Books of the Fall How far can a single leader alter the course of history? From one of the leading historians of twentieth-century Europe and the author of the definitive biography of Hitler, Personality and Power is a masterful reckoning with how character conspired with opportunity to create the modern age’s uniquely devastating despots—and how and why other countries found better paths. The modern era saw the emergence of individuals who had command over a terrifying array of instruments of control, persuasion and death. Whole societies were reshaped and wars were fought, often with a merciless contempt for the most basic norms. At the summit of these societies were leaders whose personalities somehow enabled them to do whatever they wished, regardless of the consequences for others. Ian Kershaw’s new book is a compelling, lucid and challenging attempt to understand these rulers, whether those operating on the widest stage (Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini) or with a more national impact (Tito, Franco). What was it about these leaders, and the times in which they lived, that allowed them such untrammelled and murderous power? And what brought that era to an end?

Title: Witness to Dignity: The Life and Faith of George H.W. and Barbara Bush Author: Russell Levenson Jr. Narrator: Russell Levenson Jr., Gary Sinise Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 27 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: This is the untold, intimate, and eye-witness account of the character, integrity, service, faith, and dignity of former President George H.W. Bush and first lady Barbara Bush by their priest, pastor, and friend.   George and Barbara Bush belonged to and were active members of a Houston church for more than 50 years. The rector of that church, Reverend Russell Jones Levenson, Jr., believes he was invited into private moments with these public individuals so he could serve as a witness: a witness to observe, and a witness to tell.   With never-before shared correspondence, experiences, and personal stories, Levenson offers new insight into the Bushes’ wit and wisdom; their commitment to family and friends; their tireless desire to bless the lives of others; and their steadfast loyalty to their church, their faith, and their God. Before embarking on writing this book on faith, Levenson sought and received the blessing of all the Bush children, including the 43rd president.   Readers will laugh, cry, and be inspired as Levenson ponders how and why he was put in this unique pastoral position, asking questions like, “What on earth was I doing reading the sports section of the paper with the forty-first president, his cabinet member Brent Scowcroft, and a Chinese official on a breezy morning at Walker’s Point in Kennebunkport, Maine?”    Levenson writes with emotion about being with President Bush and Barbara Bush as they each took their last breaths on this earth. He then describes in full detail the surreal experience of planning a state funeral and giving a eulogy with other presidents in the front row.    This is book is for readers who yearn for our public officials to serve with faith and integrity like the Bushes. But above all else, this book shows how powerful it is when world leaders are humbled before the power that rests above all powers. “Reverend Levenson was a dear friend and spiritual mentor to both my beloved grandparents. His stories of friendship will fill you with hope and inspire grace.”―Jenna Bush Hager, Co-Host, NBC News’ Today with Hoda & Jenna]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/613982Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/613982 to listen full audiobooks.

Loyalty is a Vice President’s first duty; but there is a greater one—to God and the Constitution. Mike Pence spent more hours in the Oval Office than any of his predecessors. On the surface, the affable evangelical Christian from a gas-station-owning family in Indiana wouldn’t seem to have much in common with a brash real estate mogul from New York. But the unlikely duo formed a tight bond. Pence was at Donald Trump’s side when he enacted historic tax relief, when he decided to take more assertive stances toward China and North Korea, and when he appointed three Supreme Court justices. But the relationship broke down after the 2020 election. On January 6, 2021, as the president pressured him to overturn the election, a mob erected a gallows on Capitol Hill and its members chanted “Hang Mike Pence!” as they rampaged through the halls of Congress. The vice president refused to leave the Capitol, and once the riot was quelled, he reconvened Congress to complete the work of a peaceful transfer of power. So Help Me God is the chronicle of the events and people who forged Mike Pence’s character and led him to that historic moment. His father, a Korean War combat veteran, was a formidable influence, but so was the Indiana history professor who inspired his devotion to the Constitution. And it was in college and law school that he embraced his Christian faith and met the love of his life, Karen—the two pillars that support him every day. You will read how his early political career was full of missteps that humbled him and how, as a talk radio host, Pence found his voice and the path that led him to Congress, the governor’s office in Indiana, and back to Washington as vice president. This is the inside story of the Trump administration by its second highest official—what he said to the president and how he was tested. The relationship begins in Indiana, when Pence sees how Trump connects with working-class voters. After the election, the vice president comes to appreciate how Trump maintains that connection through unvarnished tweets and how his unorthodox style led to historic breakthroughs, from tax cuts to trade deals, from establishing the United States Space Force to the first new peace agreement in the Middle East in more than twenty-five years. This is the most robust defense of the Trump record of anyone who served in the administration. But it is also about the private moments when Pence pushed back forcefully, how he navigated through the Mueller investigation, his damage control after Charlottesville, and his work on healing racial rifts after the murder of George Floyd. Pence was at the forefront when “history showed up” in the form of a devastating pandemic, and he provides a detailed account of leading the task force that circumvented bureaucracies to slow the disease in its tracks. Yes, it sometimes involved brokering peace between a president with an itchy Twitter finger and an agitated New York governor, but above all, it meant giving states and America’s eager entrepreneurs the power to come up with the solutions we needed. The result was the fastest development of life-saving vaccines in history. In So Help Me God, Pence shows how the faith that he embraced as a young man guided his every decision. It is a faith that guided him on that historic day and that keeps him happily at peace, ready to accept the next challenge.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/612334Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/612334 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Oswalds: An Untold Account of Marina and Lee Author: Paul R. Gregory Narrator: Traber Burns Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 11 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The closest friend of Lee Harvey Oswald and his Soviet wife Marina upon the couple’s arrival in Texas breaks a sixty-year silence with a riveting story of his time with JFK’s assassin and his candid assessment of the murder that marked a turning point in our country’s history. Merely two hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, television cameras captured police escorting a suspect into Dallas police headquarters. Meanwhile at the University of Oklahoma, watching the coverage in the student center, Paul Gregory scanned the figure in dark trousers and a white, V-neck tee shirt and saw the bruised and battered face of Lee Harvey Oswald. Shocked, Gregory said, “I know that man.” In fact, he knew Oswald and his wife Marina better than almost anyone in America. After sixty years, Paul Gregory finally tells everything he knows about the Oswalds and how he watched the soul of a killer take shape. Identified by the FBI as a “known associate of LHO,” Gregory soon faced interrogations by the Secret Service. Later he would testify before the Warren Commission. Here, in The Oswalds, he offers the intimate details of his time spent with Lee and wife Marina in their run-down duplex on Mercedes Street in Fort Worth, Texas, and his admission into the inner world of a young marriage before candidly assessing the murder that marked a turning point in our country’s history. His riveting recollection includes memories both casual and deadly serious, such as the dinner at his parents’ house introducing Marina to the “Dallas Russians,” a front-yard incident of spousal abuse, and a further rift in the marriage when he exposed to Marina that Oswald was not the dashing, radical intellectual whose Historic Diary would be a publishing sensation. And Gregory also gives a fascinating account of his father’s role as an eyewitness to history, serving as Marina’s translator and confidante in the first four days after the assassination. As a scholar and skilled researcher, Gregory debunks the vast array of assassination conspiracy theories by demonstrating that Lee Harvey Oswald did it and did it alone—that the Oswald he once called a friend had the motive, the intelligence, and the means to commit one of the most shocking crimes in American history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/602790Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/602790 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Kennedy Withdrawal: Camelot and the American Commitment to Vietnam Author: Marc J. Selverstone Narrator: Lee Goettl Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 53 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In October 1963, the White House publicly proposed the removal of US troops from Vietnam, earning President Kennedy an enduring reputation as a skeptic on the war. In fact, Kennedy was ambivalent about withdrawal and was largely detached from its planning. Marc J. Selverstone reveals that the withdrawal statement gave Kennedy political cover, allowing him to sustain support for US military assistance. Its details were the handiwork of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, whose ownership of the plan distanced it from the president. Selverstone's use of the presidential tapes, alongside declassified documents, memoirs, and oral histories, lifts the veil on this legend of Camelot. Withdrawal planning was never just about Vietnam as it evolved over the course of fifteen months. For McNamara, it injected greater discipline into the US assistance program. For the military, it was largely an unwelcome exercise. For JFK, it allowed him to preserve the US commitment while ostensibly limiting it. The Kennedy Withdrawal offers an inside look at presidential decision-making in this liminal period of the Vietnam War and makes clear that portrayals of Kennedy as a dove are overdrawn. His proposed withdrawal was in fact a cagey strategy for keeping the United States involved in the fight—a strategy the country adopted decades later in Afghanistan.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/619312Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/619312 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Crassus: The First Tycoon Author: Peter Stothard Narrator: Julian Elfer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 48 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The story of Rome's richest man, who died a humiliating desert death in search of military glory Marcus Licinius Crassus (115–53 BCE) was a modern man in an ancient world, a pioneer disrupter of finance and politics, and the richest man of the last years of the Roman republic. Without his catastrophic ambition, this trailblazing tycoon might have quietly entered history as Rome's first modern political financier. Instead, Crassus and his son led an army on an unprovoked campaign against Parthia into what are now the borderlands of Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, losing a battle at Carrhae which scarred Roman minds for generations. After Crassus was killed, historians told many stories of his demise. Some said that his open mouth, shriveled by desert air, had been filled with molten gold as testament to his lifetime of greed. His story poses both immediate and lasting questions about the intertwining of money, ambition, and power.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/613888Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/613888 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy Author: Stephen F. Knott Narrator: Christopher P. Brown Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 26 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy offers a nuanced assessment of the thirty-fifth president, whose legacy and impact people continue to debate to this day. Stephen F. Knott examines Kennedy through the lens of five critical issues: his interpretation of presidential power, his approach to civil rights, and his foreign policy toward Cuba, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam. Knott also explores JFK's assassination and the evolving interpretations of his presidency, both highly politicized subject matters. What emerges is a president as complex as the author's shifting views about him. The passage of sixty years, from working in the Kennedy Library to a career writing about the American presidency, has given Knott a broader view of Kennedy's presidency and allowed him to see how both the Left and the Right, and members of the Kennedy family, distorted JFK's record for their own purposes. Despite the existence of over forty thousand books dealing with the man and his era, this book offers something new to say about this brief but important presidency. Knott contends that Kennedy's presidency, for better or for worse, mattered deeply and that whatever his personal flaws, Kennedy's lofty rhetoric appealed to what is best in America, without invoking the snarling nativism of his least illustrious successor, Donald Trump.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/617025Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/617025 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Queen: Her Life Author: Andrew Morton Narrator: Judy Bennett, Andrew Morton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 19 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Perfect for fans of The Crown, legendary New York Times bestselling biographer Andrew Morton provides the definitive story of Queen Elizabeth II's life and legacy. Painfully shy, Elizabeth Windsor’s personality was well suited to her youthful ambition of living quietly in the country, raising a family, and caring for her dogs and horses. But when her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated, she became heir to the throne—embarking on a journey that would test her as a woman and as a queen. Ascending to the throne at only 25, this self-effacing monarch navigated endless setbacks, family conflict, and occasional triumphs throughout her 70 years as the Queen of England. As her mettle was tested, she endeavored to keep the monarchy relevant culturally, socially, and politically, often in the face of resistance from inside the institution itself. And yet the greatest challenges she faced were often inside her own family, forever under intense scrutiny; from rumors about her husband’s infidelity, her sister’s marital breakdown, Princess Diana’s tragic death, to the recent departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Now in The Queen, renowned biographer Andrew Morton takes an in-depth look at Britain’s longest reigning monarch, exploring the influence Queen Elizabeth has had on both Britain and the rest of the world for much of the last century. From leading a nation struggling to restore itself after the devastation of the second World War to navigating the divisive political landscape of the present day, Queen Elizabeth has been a reluctant but resolute queen. This is the story of a woman of unflagging self-discipline who will long be remembered as mother and grandmother to Great Britain, and one of the greatest sovereigns of the modern era.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/617413Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/617413 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Good Fight Author: Shirley Chisholm Narrator: Marcella Cox Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 38 minutes Release date: November 8, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The revered civil rights activist and pioneering member of Congress chronicles her groundbreaking 1972 run for President as the first woman and person of color—a work of immense historical importance that both captures and transcends its times, newly reissued to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of her campaign. “Shirley Chisholm created a path for me and for so many others. Today, I'm thinking about her inspirational words: 'I am, and always will be a catalyst for change.'” —Kamala Harris Before Kamala Harris, before Hillary Rodham Clinton there was Shirley Chisholm. In 1972, the Congresswoman from New York—the first Black woman elected to Congress—made history again when she announced her candidacy for President of the United States. Though she understood victory was a longshot, Chisholm chose to run “because someone had to do it first. . . . I ran because most people think the country is not ready for a black candidate, not ready for a woman candidate.”  In this invaluable political memoir, Chisholm reflects on her unique campaign and a nation at the crossroads of change. With the striking candor and straightforward style for which she was famous, Chisholm reveals the essential wheeling and dealing inherent to campaigning, castigates the innate conservatism and piety of the Black majority of the period, decries identity politics that lead to destructive power struggles within a fractious Democratic Party, and offers prescient advice on the direction of Black politics. From the whirlwind of the primaries to the final dramatic maneuvering at the tumultuous 1972 Democratic National Convention, The Good Fight is an invaluable portrait of twentieth-century politics and a Democratic Party in flux. Most importantly, The Good Fight is the portrait of a reformer who dedicated her life to making politics work for all Americans. Chisholm saw her campaign as an extension of her political commitment; she ran as an idealist grounded in reality who used her opportunity and position to give voice to all the forgotten. This book bears the stamp of her remarkable personality and her commitment to speaking truth no matter the consequences. “Shirley Chisholm's fearless determination has been an inspiration to so many of us.” —Regina King]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573770Tue, 08 Nov 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573770 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Indivisible: Daniel Webster and the Birth of American Nationalism Author: Joel Richard Paul Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 7 minutes Release date: October 25, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The story of how Daniel Webster popularized the ideals of American nationalism that helped forge our nation’s identity and inspire Abraham Lincoln to preserve the Union When the United States was founded in 1776, its citizens didn’t think of themselves as “Americans.” They were New Yorkers or Virginians or Pennsylvanians. It was decades later that the seeds of American nationalism—identifying with one’s own nation and supporting its broader interests—began to take root. But what kind of nationalism should Americans embrace? The state-focused and racist nationalism of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson? Or the belief that the U.S. Constitution made all Americans one nation, indivisible, which Daniel Webster and others espoused?  In Indivisible, historian and law professor Joel Richard Paul tells the fascinating story of how Webster, a young New Hampshire attorney turned politician, rose to national prominence through his powerful oratory and unwavering belief in the United States and captured the national imagination. In his speeches, on the floors of the House and Senate, in court, and as Secretary of State, Webster argued that the Constitution was not a compact made by states but an expression of the will of all Americans. As the greatest orator of his age, Webster saw his speeches and writings published widely, and his stirring rhetoric convinced Americans to see themselves differently, as a nation bound together by a government of laws, not parochial interests. As these ideas took root, they influenced future leaders, among them Abraham Lincoln, who drew on them to hold the nation together during the Civil War. As he did in Without Precedent and Unlikely Allies, Joel Richard Paul has written in Indivisible both a compelling history and a fascinating account of one of the founders of our national perspective.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575402Tue, 25 Oct 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575402 to listen full audiobooks.

Featuring more than two hundred rare and never-before-published photographs. While preparing to sell his home in Alexandria, Virginia, retired Secret Service agent Clint Hill uncovers an old steamer trunk in the garage, triggering a floodgate of memories. As he and Lisa McCubbin, his coauthor on three previous books, pry it open for the first time in fifty years, they find forgotten photos, handwritten notes, personal gifts, and treasured mementos from the trips on which Hill accompanied First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy as her Secret Service agent—trips that took them from Paris to London, through India, Pakistan, Greece, Morocco, Mexico, South America, and “three glorious weeks on the Amalfi Coast.” During these journeys, Jacqueline Kennedy became one of her husband’s—and America’s—greatest assets; in Hill’s words and the opinion of many others, “one of the best ambassadors the United States has ever had.” As each newfound treasure sparks long-suppressed memories, Hill provides new insight into the intensely private woman he always called “Mrs. Kennedy” and who always called him “Mr. Hill.” For the first time, he reveals the depth of the relationship that developed between them as they traveled around the globe. Now ninety years old, Hill recounts the tender moments, the private laughs, the wild adventures, and the deep affection he shared with one of the world’s most beautiful and iconic women—and these memories are brought vividly to life alongside more than two hundred rare photographs, many of them previously unpublished. In addition to the humorous stories and intimate moments, Hill reveals startling details about how traveling helped them both heal during the excruciating weeks and months following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. He also writes of the year he spent protecting Mrs. Kennedy after the assassination, a time in his life he has always been reluctant to speak about. My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy unveils a personal side of history that has never been told before and takes the reader on a breathtaking journey, experiencing what it was like for Clint Hill to travel with Jacqueline Kennedy as the entire world was falling in love with her.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573540Tue, 25 Oct 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573540 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams Author: Stacy Schiff Narrator: Jason Culp Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 14 minutes Release date: October 25, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 12 Ratings of Narrator: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: This "glorious" revelatory biography from a Pulitzer Prize winner is about the most essential Founding Father (Ron Chernow)—the one who stood behind the change in thinking that produced the American Revolution. Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, “Samuel Adams was the man.” With high-minded ideals and bare-knuckle tactics, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history.   Stacy Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory, introducing us to the shrewd and eloquent man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams’s improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.

Stanly Godbold Jr. Narrator: Graham Winton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 31 hours 3 minutes Release date: October 25, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter’s marriage of over seventy-five years is the longest of any American presidential couple and has been described by them as a “full partnership.” President Bill Clinton once said that they have changed more lives around the world than any couple in world history. Their lives have been public and private models of honesty and integrity in post-Watergate America.The second of a two-volume biography of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter by historian E. Stanly Godbold, Jr., this book offers a comprehensive account of the professional and personal lives of the powerful couple who have worked together as reformers in Georgia, President and First Lady of the United States, and founders of the Carter Center to promote international health, conflict resolution, and democracy. It picks up with their departure from the Georgia governor’s mansion and their tireless campaign for the Democratic nomination for president in 1976, the first time a Southerner won the White House in over a century. It details the Carter couple’s struggle for recognition on a national stage, the challenges of rising energy costs, mounting inflation, geopolitical tensions, and the “October Surprise” that tainted the 1980 election in which they went down in defeat. During these years, Rosalynn demonstrated that she was a better politician than her husband, offering policy advice, serving as ambassador extraordinaire, sitting in on Cabinet meetings, and working determinedly to provide care and respect for those suffering from mental illness. Their post-presidential work has been unprecedented on the international stage with Habitat for Humanity and especially their establishment of the Carter Center to “wage peace, fight disease, build hope.” Carter, after reaching the zenith of his career in negotiating the Camp David Accords of 1978, continued for decades to work for peace in the Middle East. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, a prize which he quickly said equally belonged to Rosalynn and to the Carter Center.Among the greatest peacemakers of the twentieth century, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter emerge from this account as inspirational giants in American history and a shining example of the power of a couple in public service.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/593730Tue, 25 Oct 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/593730 to listen full audiobooks.

The case was dubbed the “trial of the decade” and would coincide with the explosion of social media and a new era of trying cases in public as much as the courtroom. While Italian prosecutors, the press, and online lynch mobs convicted Knox in the court of public opinion, Bremner would draw upon her decades in the courtroom and in front of the camera to turn the tide with a new kind of defense in pursuit of justice. Bremner takes us inside some of the biggest cases of recent times and offers her expert insights and analysis as our legal system faces unprecedented forces fighting to tip the scales of justice their way.

Could a jury remain unbiased in the face of overwhelming public pressure in the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd?

Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when implacable secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. At once familiar and elusive, Lincoln tends to be seen as the greatest of American presidents—a remote icon—or as a politician driven more by calculation than by conviction. This illuminating new portrait gives us a very human Lincoln—an imperfect man whose moral antislavery commitment, essential to the story of justice in America, began as he grew up in an antislavery Baptist community; who insisted that slavery was a moral evil; and who sought, as he put it, to do right as God gave him to see the right. This book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier in 1809 to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination in 1865: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end. In a nation shaped by the courage of the enslaved of the era and by the brave witness of Black Americans, Lincoln’s story illustrates the ways and means of politics in a democracy, the roots and durability of racism, and the capacity of conscience to shape events.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/578982Tue, 18 Oct 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/578982 to listen full audiobooks.

From their earliest days, Bibi and his close-knit brothers, Yoni and Iddo, were instilled with purpose. Born in the wake of the Holocaust at the dawn of Israel’s independence and raised in a family with a prominent Zionist history, they understood that the Jewish state was a hard-won and still precarious gift. All three studied in American high schools—where they learned to appreciate the United States—before returning to their cherished homeland. The brothers joined an elite special forces outfit of the Israeli Defense Forces known as “the Unit.” At twenty-two, Bibi was wounded while leading his team in the rescue of hostages from a hijacked plane. Four years later, in 1976, Yoni was killed in Entebbe, Uganda, while leading his men in one of the most daring hostage-rescue missions in modern times. Yoni became a legend; Bibi felt he would never recover from his grief. Yet, inspired by Yoni’s legacy and guided by the wisdom of his visionary historian father, Bibi thrust himself into the international struggle against terrorism, ultimately becoming the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history—an honor he further cemented by winning reelection in 2022. In this memoir Bibi weaves together his gripping personal story with the dramatic history of Israel and the Jewish people. Through a host of vivid anecdotes, he narrates his own evolution from soldier to statesman, while providing a unique perspective on leadership, the fraught geopolitics of the Middle East, and his successful efforts to liberate Israel’s economy, which helped turn it into a global powerhouse of technological innovation. Netanyahu gives colorful, detailed, and revealing accounts of his often turbulent relationships and negotiations with Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Trump. With eye-opening candor, he delves into the back channels of high diplomacy—including his struggle against the radical forces that threaten Israel and the world at large, and the decisive events that led to Israel’s groundbreaking 2020 peace agreements with four Arab states. Offering an unflinching account of a life, a family, and a nation, Netanyahu writes from the heart and embraces controversy head-on. Steely and funny, high-tempo and full of verve, this autobiography will stand as a defining testament to the value of political conviction and personal courage.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618322Tue, 18 Oct 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618322 to listen full audiobooks.

Four years later, in 1976, Yoni was killed in Entebbe, Uganda, while leading his men in one of the most daring hostage-rescue missions in modern times. Yoni became a legend; Bibi felt he would never recover from his grief. Yet, inspired by Yoni’s legacy and guided by the wisdom of his visionary historian father, Bibi thrust himself into the international struggle against terrorism, ultimately becoming the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history—an honor he further cemented by winning reelection in 2022. In this memoir Bibi weaves together his gripping personal story with the dramatic history of Israel and the Jewish people. Through a host of vivid anecdotes, he narrates his own evolution from soldier to statesman, while providing a unique perspective on leadership, the fraught geopolitics of the Middle East, and his successful efforts to liberate Israel’s economy, which helped turn it into a global powerhouse of technological innovation. Netanyahu gives colorful, detailed, and revealing accounts of his often turbulent relationships and negotiations with Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Trump. With eye-opening candor, he delves into the back channels of high diplomacy—including his struggle against the radical forces that threaten Israel and the world at large, and the decisive events that led to Israel’s groundbreaking 2020 peace agreements with four Arab states. Offering an unflinching account of a life, a family, and a nation, Netanyahu writes from the heart and embraces controversy head-on. Steely and funny, high-tempo and full of verve, this autobiography will stand as a defining testament to the value of political conviction and personal courage.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/don-t-count-me-out-a-baltimore-dope-fiend-s-miraculous-recovery-by-rafael-alvarez--65158618https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/615850 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Don't Count Me Out: A Baltimore Dope Fiend's Miraculous Recovery Author: Rafael Alvarez Narrator: Lee Osorio Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 44 minutes Release date: October 15, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Don't Count Me Out chronicles the life of Bruce White from the beginning of his drug use in elementary school through criminal acts fueled by his need for drugs, to his miraculous recovery three decades later and involvement in the treatment of addicts, where he is now a leader in the rehabilitation field. Rafael Alvarez's recounting of White's journey should inspire those dealing with the fallout of addiction. Alvarez, a journalist and screenwriter, allows the listener to get inside the head of an addict who was stealing alcohol from his parents at the age of nine, selling drugs and tripping on LSD and PCP by the time he hit seventh grade, and hooked on morphine before he turned fifteen. 'Bruce White? I thought he was dead?' is a response encountered in many of the interviews Alvarez conducted. Don't Count Me Out shines a spotlight on an improbable and stunning miracle. Though this is just one person's story, the contributing factors of early sexual assault, the role of permissive preoccupied parents, and the need for peer approval, among others, will resonate with many as the opioid crisis continues to haunt us.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/615850Sat, 15 Oct 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/615850 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: First Among Men: George Washington and the Myth of American Masculinity Author: Maurizio Valsania Narrator: Christopher Douyard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 20 minutes Release date: October 11, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: George Washington—hero of the French and Indian War, commander in chief of the Continental Army, and first president of the United States—died on December 14, 1799. But what do we really know about Washington as an upper-class man? Washington is frequently portrayed by his biographers as America at its unflinching best: tall, shrewd, determined, resilient, stalwart, and tremendously effective in action. But this aggressive and muscular version of Washington is largely a creation of the nineteenth century. Eighteenth-century ideals of upper-class masculinity would have preferred a man with refined aesthetic tastes, graceful and elegant movements, and the ability and willingness to clearly articulate his emotions. In First Among Men, Valsania considers Washington's complexity and apparent contradictions in three main areas: his physical life (often bloody, cold, injured, muddy, or otherwise unpleasant), his emotional world (sentimental, loving, and affectionate), and his social persona (carefully constructed and maintained). Aided by new research, documents, and objects that have only recently come to light, First Among Men tells the fascinating story of a living and breathing person who loved, suffered, moved, gestured, dressed, ate, drank, and had sex in ways that may be surprising to many Americans.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/616928Tue, 11 Oct 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/616928 to listen full audiobooks.

'Piercing and gripping... Bush’s words are beautifully devastating.' —The Cut Having worked as a nurse, a pastor, and a community organizer in St. Louis, Missouri, Cori Bush hadn’t initially intended to run for political office. But when protests in Ferguson erupted in 2014, Bush found herself on the frontlines, providing medical care and protesting violence against Black lives. Encouraged by community leaders to run for office, and compelled by an urgency to prevent her children and others from becoming social media hashtags, Bush campaigned persistently while navigating myriad personal challenges—and ultimately rose to unseat a twenty-year incumbent to become the first Black woman to represent her state in Congress. The Forerunner is the raw and moving account of a politician and activist whose life experiences, though underrepresented in the halls of Congress, reflect some of the same realities and struggles that many Americans face in their everyday lives. Courageously laying bare her experience as a minimum-wage worker, a survivor of domestic and sexual violence, and an unhoused parent, Congresswoman Bush embodies a new chapter in progressive politics that prioritizes the lives and stories of those most politically vulnerable at the core of its agenda. A testament to the lasting legacy of the Ferguson Uprising and an unflinching examination of how the American political system is so deeply intertwined with systemic injustice, The Forerunner is profoundly relatable and inspiring at its heart. At once a stirring and emotionally wrought personal account and a fierce call to action, this is political memoir the likes of which we’ve never seen before.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577843Tue, 04 Oct 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577843 to listen full audiobooks.

From the New York Times bestselling author of WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, Nikki Haley's sharply intimate and inspirational book celebrates the world's most iconic women leaders. “If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.” —Margaret Thatcher In the spirit of Thatcher’s quote, Ambassador Nikki R. Haley offers inspiring examples of women who worked against obstacles and opposition to get things done—including Haley herself. As a brown girl growing up in Bamberg, South Carolina, no one would have predicted she would become the first minority female governor in America, the first female and the first minority governor in South Carolina, or the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Her journey wasn’t an easy one. She faced many people who thought she didn’t belong—and who told her so. She was too brown. Too female. Too young. Too conservative. Too principled. Too idealistic. As far as Nikki was concerned, those were not reasons to hold her back. Those were all reasons to forge ahead. She drew inspiration from other trailblazing women throughout history who summoned the courage to be different and lead. This personal and compelling book celebrates 10 remarkable women who dared to be bold, from household names like Margaret Thatcher and Israel’s former prime minister Golda Meir, to Jeane Kirkpatrick, the first female U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to lesser-known leaders like human rights activist Cindy Warmbier, education advocate Virginia Walden Ford, civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin, and more. Woven with stories from Haley’s own childhood and political career, If You Want Something Done will inspire the next generation of leaders.

A national reckoning with race and the Confederate flag. The fate of marriage equality and the Affordable Care Act.

'A sumptuous feast of astonishing tales...The more one reads, the more one wishes to read.'—NPR.com • 'A beautifully written, utterly dispiriting history of the man who attacked democracy.' —The Guardian The bestselling authors of The Man Who Ran Washington argue that Trump was not just lurching from one controversy to another; he was learning to be more like the foreign autocrats he admired. The Divider brings us into the Oval Office for countless scenes both tense and comical, revealing how close we got to nuclear war with North Korea, which cabinet members had a resignation pact, whether Trump asked Japan’s prime minister to nominate him for a Nobel Prize and much more. The book also explores the moral choices confronting those around Trump—how they justified working for a man they considered unfit for office, and where they drew their lines. The Divider is based on unprecedented access to key players, from President Trump himself to cabinet officers, military generals, close advisers, Trump family members, congressional leaders, foreign officials and others, some of whom have never told their story until now.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569513Tue, 20 Sep 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569513 to listen full audiobooks.

From his prep school years, straight out of Evelyn Waugh, through the army to Cambridge, the City of London and the Palace of Westminster, Mitchell has passed through a series of British institutions at a time of furious social and political change – in the process becoming rather more cynical about the British Establishment. Here, he reflects on the perils and pleasures of loyalty, whether to a party, to individuals or to one's own principles. He brilliantly lifts the lid on the dark arts of the government Whips' Office ('Whipping, like stripping, is best done in private') and reveals how he accidentally started Boris Johnson's political career and later naively backed him to be Prime Minister – an act which rebounded on him spectacularly.

Winner at the 2022 Parlimentary Book Awards Baroness Floella Benjamin is an inspiration, an actress and much-loved children’s television presenter who is a member of the House of Lords. But how did the girl from Trinidad end up lunching with the Queen? In What Are You Doing Here?

It was offset by the love of her parents, who gave her the pride in her heritage, self-belief and confidence that have carried her through life. From winning a role in groundbreaking musical Hair (while clearly stating she would not take her clothes off) to breaking down barriers on Play School, from refusing to be typecast in roles to speaking out for diversity at the BBC and BAFTA, she has remained true to herself. She also reveals how she met husband Keith, became a mother of two, was befriended by Kenneth Williams, hugged President Obama, and found a purpose that would underpin everything she did – campaigning for the needs of children.

Title: Dinners with Ruth: A Memoir of Friendship Author: Nina Totenberg Narrator: Nina Totenberg Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 29 minutes Release date: September 13, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.29 of Total 38 Ratings of Narrator: 4.42 of Total 12 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Celebrated NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg delivers an extraordinary memoir of her personal successes, struggles, and life-affirming relationships, including her beautiful friendship of nearly fifty years with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Four years before Nina Totenberg was hired at NPR, where she cemented her legacy as a prizewinning reporter, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court, Nina called Ruth. A reporter for The National Observer, Nina was curious about Ruth’s legal brief, asking the Supreme Court to do something revolutionary: declare a law that discriminated “on the basis of sex” to be unconstitutional. In a time when women were fired for becoming pregnant, often could not apply for credit cards, or get a mortgage in their own names, Ruth patiently explained her argument. That call launched a remarkable, nearly fifty-year friendship. Dinners with Ruth is an extraordinary account of two women who paved the way for future generations by tearing down professional and legal barriers. It is also an intimate memoir of the power of friendships as women began to pry open career doors and transform the workplace. At the story’s heart is one, special relationship: Ruth and Nina saw each other not only through personal joys, but also illness, loss, and widowhood. During the devastating illness and eventual death of Nina’s first husband, Ruth drew her out of grief; twelve years later, Nina would reciprocate when Ruth’s beloved husband died. They shared not only a love of opera, but also of shopping, as they instinctively understood that clothes were armor for women who wanted to be taken seriously in a workplace dominated by men. During Ruth’s last year, they shared so many small dinners that Saturdays were “reserved for Ruth” in Nina’s house. Dinners with Ruth also weaves together compelling, personal portraits of other fascinating women and men from Nina’s life, including her cherished NPR colleagues Cokie Roberts and Linda Wertheimer; her beloved husbands; her friendships with multiple Supreme Court Justices, including Lewis Powell, William Brennan, and Antonin Scalia, and Nina’s own family—her father, the legendary violinist Roman Totenberg, and her “best friends,” her sisters. Inspiring and revelatory, Dinners with Ruth is a moving story of the joy and true meaning of friendship.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575263Tue, 13 Sep 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575263 to listen full audiobooks.

In this frank and moving inside account, Zelenskyy’s former press secretary tells the story of his improbable rise from popular comedian to the president of Ukraine. Mendel had a front row seat to many of the key events preceding the 2022 Russian invasion. From attending meetings between Zelenskyy and Putin and other European leaders, visiting the front lines in Donbas, to fielding press inquiries after the infamous phone calls between Donald Trump and Zelenskyy that led to Trump’s first impeachment. Mendel saw firsthand Zelenskyy’s efforts to transform his country from a poor, backward Soviet state into a vibrant, prosperous European democracy. Mendel sheds light on the massive economic problems facing Ukraine and the entrenched corrupt oligarchs in league with Russia. She witnessed the Kremlin’s repeated attacks to discredit Zelenskyy through disinformation and an army of bots and trolls. Woven into her account are details about her own life as a member of Zelenskyy’s new Ukraine. Written with the sound of Russian bombs and exploding shells in the background, Mendel details life lived under Russian siege in 2022. She says goodbye to her fiancé who joins the front lines, like so many other Ukrainian men.

Andrew Kirtzman, who has been following Giuliani since the 1990s, answers that question in this “masterful and engrossing” (The Guardian) biography that “cuts through the myth and caricature that has too often defined Giuliani” (Los Angeles Times). Rudy Giuliani was hailed after 9/11 as “America’s Mayor,” a national hero who, at the time, was more widely admired than the pope. He was brilliant, accomplished—and complicated. He conflated politics with morality, made reckless personal choices, and engaged in self-destructive behavior. A series of disastrous decisions and cynical compromises, coupled with his need for power, money, and attention gradually ruined his reputation, cost him political support, and ultimately damaged the country. Kirtzman, who was with Giuliani at the World Trade Center on 9/11, conducted hundreds of interviews to give us an insightful portrait of this polarizing figure from the beginning of his rise to his high-profile role as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. Giuliani was a celebrated prosecutor, a transformative New York City mayor, and a contender for the presidency. But by the end of the Trump presidency, he was reviled and ridiculed after a series of embarrassing errors and misjudgments. He was a significant figure in both of Trump’s impeachments and ended up widely ostracized, facing both legal jeopardy and financial ruin.

People remember the reckless Marine who risked his life, but the story of the man reeling behind that cloud of dusk is one of an invisible war he is still fighting to this day.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/spanish-la-mirada-infinita-by-empar-fernandez-pablo-bonell-goytisolo--65158592https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/619435 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Becoming FDR: The Personal Crisis That Made a President Author: Jonathan Darman Narrator: Will Damron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 47 minutes Release date: September 6, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: “An illuminating account of how Franklin D. Roosevelt’s struggles with polio steeled him for the great struggles of the Depression and of World War II.”—Jon Meacham “A valuable book for anyone who wants to know how adversity shapes character. By understanding how FDR became a deeper and more empathetic person, we can nurture those traits in ourselves and learn from the challenges we all face.”—Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Steve Jobs and Leonardo Da Vinci In popular memory, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the quintessential political “natural.” Born in 1882 to a wealthy, influential family and blessed with an abundance of charm and charisma, he seemed destined for high office. Yet for all his gifts, the young Roosevelt nonetheless lacked depth, empathy, and an ability to think strategically. Those qualities, so essential to his success as president, were skills he acquired during his seven-year journey through illness and recovery.  Becoming FDR traces the riveting story of the struggle that forged Roosevelt’s character and political ascent. Soon after contracting polio in 1921 at the age of thirty-nine, the former failed vice-presidential candidate was left paralyzed from the waist down. He spent much of the next decade trying to rehabilitate his body and adapt to the stark new reality of his life. By the time he reemerged on the national stage in 1928 as the Democratic candidate for governor of New York, his character and his abilities had been transformed. He had become compassionate and shrewd by necessity, tailoring his speeches to inspire listeners and to reach them through a new medium—radio. Suffering cemented his bond with those he once famously called “the forgotten man.” Most crucially, he had discovered how to find hope in a seemingly hopeless situation—a skill that he employed to motivate Americans through the Great Depression and World War II. The polio years were transformative, too, for the marriage of Franklin and Eleanor, and for Eleanor herself, who became, at first reluctantly, her husband's surrogate at public events, and who grew to become a political and humanitarian force in her own right.   Tracing the physical, political, and personal evolution of the iconic president, Becoming FDR shows how adversity can lead to greatness, and to the power to remake the world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/587684Tue, 06 Sep 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/587684 to listen full audiobooks.

The Only Woman in the Room is the first book to contend with Meir’s full identity as a woman, Jew, Zionist leader, and one of the founders of Israel, providing a richer portrait of her persona and legacy.Meir, Lahav shows, deftly deflected misogyny as she traveled the path to becoming Israel’s fourth, and only female, prime minister, from 1969 to 1974. Lahav revisits the youthful encounters that forged Meir’s passion for socialist Zionism and reassesses her decision to separate from her husband and leave her children in the care of others. Enduring humiliation and derision from her colleagues, Meir nevertheless led in establishing Israel as a welfare state where social security, workers’ rights, and maternity leave became law. Lahav looks at the challenges that beset Meir’s premiership, particularly the disastrous Yom Kippur War, which led to her resignation and withdrawal from politics, as well as Meir’s bitter duel with feminist and civil rights leader Shulamit Aloni, Meir’s complex relationship with the Israeli and American feminist movements, and the politics that led her to distance herself from feminism altogether.Exploring the tensions between Meir’s personal and political identities, The Only Woman in the Room provides a groundbreaking new account of Meir’s life while also illuminating the difficulties all women face as they try to ascend in male-dominated fields]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/593718Tue, 06 Sep 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/593718 to listen full audiobooks.

In the years that John Howard served in the national parliament he came to understand the special character of Australia; to appreciate its strengths and weaknesses; and most importantly to respect the sense of balance in the formulation of public policy that has long defined us as a nation and made Australia an attractive destination for people from across the world. In this book he explores this balance, its foundations and its future. Written against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as some of the more contested political events of recent years - the election of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote, the rise of China, and, within our own country, a carousel of six prime ministers in eleven years - these reflections touch on how Australia has responded to pressure over the last decade or so. Commentary on these subjects from politicians, opinion writers and social media can sometimes seem shrill and divisive. Australia's 25th and second longest serving prime minister has faith that no matter what challenges and extremes threaten to upset our sense of balance, the country's institutions and people will remain robust into the foreseeable future.

Magliocca Narrator: Paul Heitsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 10 minutes Release date: August 16, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The first biography of George Washington's extraordinary nephew, who inherited Mount Vernon and was Chief Justice John Marshall's right-hand man on the Supreme Court for nearly thirty years. In Washington's Heir, Gerard N. Magliocca gives us the first published biography of Bushrod Washington, one of the most underrated Founding Fathers. Born in 1762, Justice Washington fought in the Revolutionary War, served in Virginia's ratifying convention for the Constitution, and was Chief Justice John Marshall's partner in establishing the authority of the Supreme Court. Though he could only see from one eye, Justice Washington wrote many landmark decisions defining the fundamental rights of citizens and the structure of the Constitution, including Corfield v. Coryell—an influential source for the Congress that proposed the Fourteenth Amendment. As George Washington's personal heir, Bushrod inherited both Mount Vernon and the family legacy of owning other people, one of whom was almost certainly his half-brother or nephew.

Title: Washington's Heir: The Life of Justice Bushrod Washington Author: Gerard N. Magliocca Narrator: Paul Heitsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 10 minutes Release date: August 16, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The first biography of George Washington's extraordinary nephew, who inherited Mount Vernon and was Chief Justice John Marshall's right-hand man on the Supreme Court for nearly thirty years. In Washington's Heir, Gerard N. Magliocca gives us the first published biography of Bushrod Washington, one of the most underrated Founding Fathers. Born in 1762, Justice Washington fought in the Revolutionary War, served in Virginia's ratifying convention for the Constitution, and was Chief Justice John Marshall's partner in establishing the authority of the Supreme Court. Though he could only see from one eye, Justice Washington wrote many landmark decisions defining the fundamental rights of citizens and the structure of the Constitution, including Corfield v. Coryell—an influential source for the Congress that proposed the Fourteenth Amendment. As George Washington's personal heir, Bushrod inherited both Mount Vernon and the family legacy of owning other people, one of whom was almost certainly his half-brother or nephew. Yet Justice Washington alone among the Founders was criticized by journalists for selling enslaved people and, in turn, issued a public defense of his actions that laid bare the hypocrisy and cruelty of slavery.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/abraham-lincoln-by-ida-m-tarbell--65158593https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618673 to listen full audiobooks.

Tarbell Narrator: The Cliff, Cyril Taylor-Carr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 9 minutes Release date: August 13, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Abraham Lincoln was born into poverty in a log cabin and was raised on the frontier primarily in Indiana. He was self-educated and became a lawyer, Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator, and U.S. Congressman from Illinois. In 1849, he returned to his law practice but became vexed by the opening of additional lands to slavery. He reentered politics in 1854, becoming a leader in the Republican Party, and reached a national audience in the 1858 debates against Stephen Douglas. Lincoln ran for President in 1860, sweeping the North in victory. To secure its independence, the new Confederate States fired on Fort Sumter, a U.S. fort in the South, and Lincoln called up forces to suppress the rebellion and restore the Union. Lincoln, a moderate Republican, had to navigate an array of factions with friends and opponents from both the Democratic and Republican parties. He managed the factions by exploiting their mutual enmity, carefully distributing political patronage, and by appealing to the American people. His Gettysburg Address appealed to nationalistic, republican, egalitarian, libertarian, and democratic sentiments. Lincoln scrutinized the strategy and tactics in the war effort, including the selection of generals and the naval blockade of the South's trade. He suspended habeas corpus in Maryland, and he averted British intervention by defusing the Trent Affair.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618673Sat, 13 Aug 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618673 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Landslide: LBJ and Ronald Reagan at the Dawn of a New America Author: Jonathan Darman Narrator: Will Damron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 39 minutes Release date: August 9, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In politics, the man who takes the highest spot after a landslide is not standing on solid ground.   In this riveting work of narrative nonfiction, Jonathan Darman tells the story of two giants of American politics, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan, and shows how, from 1963 to 1966, these two men—the same age, and driven by the same heroic ambitions—changed American politics forever.   The liberal and the conservative. The deal-making arm twister and the cool communicator. The Texas rancher and the Hollywood star. Opposites in politics and style, Johnson and Reagan shared a defining impulse: to set forth a grand story of America, a story in which he could be the hero. In the tumultuous days after the Kennedy assassination, Johnson and Reagan each, in turn, seized the chance to offer the country a new vision for the future. Bringing to life their vivid personalities and the anxious mood of America in a radically transformative time, Darman shows how, in promising the impossible, Johnson and Reagan jointly dismantled the long American tradition of consensus politics and ushered in a new era of fracture. History comes to life in Darman’s vivid, fly-on-the wall storytelling.   Even as Johnson publicly revels in his triumphs, we see him grow obsessed with dark forces he believes are out to destroy him, while his wife, Lady Bird, urges her husband to put aside his paranoia and see the world as it really is. And as the war in Vietnam threatens to overtake his presidency, we witness Johnson desperately struggling to compensate with ever more extravagant promises for his Great Society.   On the other side of the country, Ronald Reagan, a fading actor years removed from his Hollywood glory, gradually turns toward a new career in California politics. We watch him delivering speeches to crowds who are desperate for a new leader. And we see him wielding his well-honed instinct for timing, waiting for Johnson’s majestic promises to prove empty before he steps back into the spotlight, on his long journey toward the presidency.   From Johnson’s election in 1964, the greatest popular-vote landslide in American history, to the pivotal 1966 midterms, when Reagan burst forth onto the national stage, Landslide brings alive a country transformed—by riots, protests, the rise of television, the shattering of consensus—and the two towering personalities whose choices in those moments would reverberate through the country for decades to come.   Praise for Landslide   “Richly detailed . . . Landslide is a vivid retelling of a tumultuous three years in American history, and Mr. Darman captures in full the personalities and motives of two of the twentieth century’s most consequential politicians.”—The New York Times   “Novel and even surprising . . . Landslide deftly reminds readers that Johnson and Reagan both trafficked in grandiose oratory and promoted utopian visions at odds with the social complexity of modern America.”—The Washington Post   “Riveting . . . Darman portrays [Johnson and Reagan] as polar opposites of political attraction. . . . Animated by the artful insight that they were men of disappointment headed toward an appointment with history . . . A tale about myths and a nation that believed them, about a world of a half century ago now gone forever.”—The Boston Globe   “Alert to the subtleties of politics and political history, Darman, a former correspondent for Newsweek, nimbly explores delusion and self-delusion at the highest levels.”—The New York Times Book Review]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/587685Tue, 09 Aug 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/587685 to listen full audiobooks.

That, however, is an assessment of his life based on what is widely known about him. These often revolve around his resignation from the Indian Civil Service, joining the freedom movement, to be exiled twice for over seven years, throwing a challenge to the Gandhian leadership in the Congress, taking up an extremist position against the British Raj, evading the famed intelligence network to travel to Europe and then to Southeast Asia, forming two Governments and raising two armies and then disappearing into the unknown. All this in a span of just two decades.Now, new information throws light on Bose's intense political activities surrounding the revolutionary groups in Bengal, Punjab, Maharashtra and United Provinces, his efforts to bridge the increasing communal divide and his influence among the splintered political landscape; his outlook and relations with women; his plunge into the depths of spirituality; his penchant for covert operations and his efforts to engineer a rebellion among the Indian armed forces. With this new information, what appeared to be dramatic now becomes more intense with plots and subplots under one man's single-minded focus on freeing the motherland and envisioning its development in a new era.Furthermore, one of the most sensitive issues that have prevented political parties and successive governments from talking much about Bose is his joining the Axis camp. While Jawaharlal Nehru and other prominent Congress leaders publicly denounced the move, the Communist Party of India went on to a prolonged vilification campaign. Sardar Patel issued instruction to Congress leaders to defend the INA soldiers without eulogizing their leader.Was Bose really a Nazi sympathiser? Knowing very well about the strong public opinion that existed among the political leadership and the intelligentsia in India against Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and imperial Japan, why did he risk his own political image by allying with the Axis powers?Pacey, thought-provoking and absolutely unputdownable, Bose: The Untold Story of an Inconvenient Nationalist will open a window to many hitherto untold and unknown stories of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.Probably the first critical biography of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose till date.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/615301Tue, 02 Aug 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/615301 to listen full audiobooks.

That, however, is an assessment of his life based on what is widely known about him. These often revolve around his resignation from the Indian Civil Service, joining the freedom movement, to be exiled twice for over seven years, throwing a challenge to the Gandhian leadership in the Congress, taking up an extremist position against the British Raj, evading the famed intelligence network to travel to Europe and then to Southeast Asia, forming two Governments and raising two armies and then disappearing into the unknown. All this in a span of just two decades.Now, new information throws light on Bose's intense political activities surrounding the revolutionary groups in Bengal, Punjab, Maharashtra and United Provinces, his efforts to bridge the increasing communal divide and his influence among the splintered political landscape; his outlook and relations with women; his plunge into the depths of spirituality; his penchant for covert operations and his efforts to engineer a rebellion among the Indian armed forces. With this new information, what appeared to be dramatic now becomes more intense with plots and subplots under one man's single-minded focus on freeing the motherland and envisioning its development in a new era.Furthermore, one of the most sensitive issues that have prevented political parties and successive governments from talking much about Bose is his joining the Axis camp.

Title: [German] - Selenskyj: Die Biografie Author: Wojciech Rogacin Narrator: Markus Sulzbacher Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 29, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Als Wolodymyr Selenskyj – bis dahin ein populärer Schauspieler und Comedian – 2019 überraschend die ukrainische Präsidentschaftswahl gewann, ging die Welt davon aus, dass er ein schwaches Staatsoberhaupt sein und sich vom Kreml mithilfe der Oligarchen leicht lenken lassen würde. Doch das Gegenteil war der Fall: Selenskyj erwies sich als Mann mit Rückgrat, als mutig und unbeugsam. Im Angesicht des russischen Überfalls auf die Ukraine wurde er zu einem wahren Staatsmann, der selbst seinen Feinden Respekt abringt. Doch wie viel wissen wir von dem charismatischen Präsidenten, dessen standhafter Kampf gegen den russischen Aggressor weltweit Bewunderung hervorruft? Wie sah seine Kindheit aus, sein Elternhaus, sein Freundeskreis? Wie verlief seine Karriere als Schauspieler? Wann und warum beschloss Selenskyj, die politische Bühne zu betreten? Und wer ist seine Frau Olena, die mit ihm Schritt hält und als First Lady der Ukraine die gleiche Hochachtung genießt wie ihr Mann? Was für ein Präsident war er vor Ausbruch des Krieges und welche Eigenschaften haben es ihm ermöglicht, zu dem Staatsmann zu werden, auf den die wichtigsten westlichen Politiker zählen und der Millionen Follower auf Instagram hat? Unabhängig davon, wie der Krieg verlaufen wird, hat sich Selenskyj bereits jetzt in die Geschichte eingeschrieben als ein furchtloser und standhafter Anführer, der den ungleichen Kampf zur Verteidigung von Würde und Recht auf ein Leben in Freiheit – und nicht unter dem russischen Stiefel – aufgenommen hat.

James Brooks of Texas Ranger Company F was engaged in three fatal gunfights, endured disfiguring bullet wounds, engaged in countless manhunts, was convicted for second-degree murder, and rattled Washington, DC, with a request for a pardon from the US president. His story anchors the tale of Joe Pappalardo’s Red Sky Morning, an epic saga of lawmen and criminals set in Texas during the waning years of the “Old West.” Alongside Brooks are the Rangers of Company F, who range from a pious teetotaller to a cowboy fleeing retribution for killing a man. They are all led by Captain William Scott, who cut his teeth as a freelance undercover informant but is now facing the end of his Ranger career. Company F hunts criminals across Texas and beyond, killing them as needed, and are confident they can bring anyone to “Ranger justice.” But Brooks’s men may have met their match in the Conner family, East Texas master hunters and jailbreakers who are wanted for their part in a bloody family feud. The full story of Company F’s showdown with the Conner family is finally being told, with long-dead voices being heard for the first time.

Spencer Schneider was recruited in the eighties, and he stayed for more than twenty-three years as his life disintegrated, his self-esteem eroded, and he lined the pockets of Gans and her cult. Cult members met twice weekly, though they never acknowledged one another outside of meetings or gatherings.

Some of them broke the law. All for Gans. “During those years,” Schneider writes, “my world was School. That’s what it’s like when you’re in a cult, even one that preys on and caters to New York’s educated elite.

Title: Newt Gingrich: The Rise and Fall of a Party Entrepreneur Author: Matthew N. Green, Jeffrey Crouch Narrator: Mike Lenz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 44 minutes Release date: July 1, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In Newt Gingrich: The Rise and Fall of a Party Entrepreneur, political scientists Matthew N. Green and Jeffrey Crouch draw from newly uncovered archival material, original interviews, and other data to provide a fresh and insightful look at Gingrich's entire congressional career. Green and Crouch argue that Gingrich is best understood as a 'party entrepreneur,' someone who works primarily to achieve their congressional party's collective goals. From the moment he entered Congress, Gingrich was laser-focused on achieving two party-related objectives—a Republican majority in the House and a more conservative society—as well as greater influence for himself. Using a conceptual framework taken from theories of military strategy, the authors explain how Gingrich initially struggled because of a mismatch between his lofty goals and the resources available to him. After years of patiently cultivating allies, tempering his immediate objectives, and waiting for favorable circumstances to emerge, Gingrich finally claimed victory in 1994, with Republicans winning control of the House and electing Gingrich as Speaker.

Title: Newt Gingrich: The Rise and Fall of a Party Entrepreneur Author: Matthew N. Green, Jeffrey Crouch Narrator: Mike Lenz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 44 minutes Release date: July 1, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In Newt Gingrich: The Rise and Fall of a Party Entrepreneur, political scientists Matthew N. Green and Jeffrey Crouch draw from newly uncovered archival material, original interviews, and other data to provide a fresh and insightful look at Gingrich's entire congressional career. Green and Crouch argue that Gingrich is best understood as a 'party entrepreneur,' someone who works primarily to achieve their congressional party's collective goals. From the moment he entered Congress, Gingrich was laser-focused on achieving two party-related objectives—a Republican majority in the House and a more conservative society—as well as greater influence for himself. Using a conceptual framework taken from theories of military strategy, the authors explain how Gingrich initially struggled because of a mismatch between his lofty goals and the resources available to him. After years of patiently cultivating allies, tempering his immediate objectives, and waiting for favorable circumstances to emerge, Gingrich finally claimed victory in 1994, with Republicans winning control of the House and electing Gingrich as Speaker. Yet while Gingrich had been creative, patient, and ultimately successful at gaining power for himself and his party, he proved ineffective at balancing his goals with the demands of the Speakership, and he resigned from Congress just four years later.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/putin-the-explosive-and-extraordinary-new-biography-of-russia-s-leader-by-philip-short--65158763https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566782 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Putin: The explosive and extraordinary new biography of Russia’s leader Author: Philip Short Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 29 hours 33 minutes Release date: June 30, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Vladimir Putin is a pariah to the West. Alone among world leaders, he has the power to reduce the United States and Europe to ashes in a nuclear firestorm and has threatened to do so. He invades his neighbours, most recently Ukraine, meddles in western elections and orders assassinations inside and outside Russia. The regime he heads is autocratic and corrupt. Yet many Russians continue to support him. Despite western sanctions, the majority have been living better than at any time in the past. By fair means or foul, under Putin's leadership, Russia has once again become a force to be reckoned with. Philip Short's magisterial biography explores in unprecedented depth the personality of its enigmatic and ruthless leader and demolishes many of our preconceptions about Putin's Russia. Since becoming President in 2000, his obsession has been to restore Russia's status as a great power, unbound by western rules. What forces and experiences shaped him? What led him to challenge the American-led world order that has kept the peace since the end of the Cold War? To explain is not to justify. Putin's regime is dark. He pursues his goals relentlessly by whatever means he thinks fit. But on closer examination, much of what we think we know about him turns out to rest on half-truths. This book is as close as we will come to understanding Russia's ruler. It also makes us revise long-held assumptions about the course of global politics since the end of the Cold War. © Philip Short 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566782Thu, 30 Jun 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566782 to listen full audiobooks.

When the stability and success of the new nation were far from certain, a body of federalized American law had to be created from scratch. In The First Chief Justice, New York State Appellate Judge Mark C. Dillon uncovers, for the first time, how Jay's personal, educational, and professional experiences—before, during, and after the Revolutionary War—shaped both the establishment of the first system of federal courts from 1789 to 1795 and Jay's approach to deciding the earliest cases heard by the Supreme Court. Dillon takes us on a fascinating journey of a task accomplished by constant travel on horseback to the nation's far reaches, with Jay adeptly handling the Washington administration, Congress, lawyers, politicians, and judicial colleagues. The book includes the history of each of the nine cases decided by Jay when he was Chief Justice, many of which have proven with time to have enduring historical significance.

It seemed unlikely that the families would ever meet—and yet, they did. The son of one family, the famed actor John Wilkes Booth, killed the son of the other, President Abraham Lincoln, in the most significant assassination in American history.

Abraham Lincoln is usually seen as a rational, empirically-minded man, yet as biographer Terry Alford reveals, he was also deeply superstitious and drawn to the irrational. Like millions of other Americans, including the Booths, Lincoln and his wife, Mary, suffered repeated personal tragedies, and turned for solace to Spiritualism, a new practice sweeping the nation that held that the dead were nearby and could be contacted by the living.

Title: [Spanish] - Lo que queda de mí es tuyo Author: Stephanie Scott Narrator: Mamen Mengó Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 9 minutes Release date: June 10, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Una novela apasionante ambientada en Tokio e inspirada en un crimen real, que traza la búsqueda de una joven por esclarecer la vida y el asesinato de su madre. Una novela de amor que deviene en thriller. Un true crime que descubre el lado oscuro del Japón más exquisito. En Japón, una industria encubierta ha crecido entorno a la ''wakaresaseya'', esto es: los terminadores de relaciones. Se trata de personas contratadas por un cónyuge para seducir al otro y luego obtener una ventaja en los procedimientos de divorcio al poder acusarles de adulterio. Cuando Satō contrata a Kaitarō, un agente de wakaresaseya, para que tenga una aventura con su esposa Rina, no cree que todo ello pueda írsele de las manos. Pero lo cierto es que Sato nunca ha entendido realmente a Rina, ni explorado sus deseos. Kaitarō pues deberá hacer aquello que el marido de Rina no se ha dignado a hacer nunca, para así poder enamorarla. Mientras Rina ignora las circunstancias que lo han unido a Kaitarō, ambos se enamoran desesperadamente, lo que les conducirá a un callejón sin salida en el que la propia hija de Rina se verá atrapada. Contada desde puntos de vista alternos y con el impresionante paisaje de Japón siempre como telón de fondo, Stephanie Scott presenta una novela en la que el amor tiene unas intrincadas repercusiones que arrastran a sus personajes hacia la tragedia. Mientras la hija de Rina, Sumiko, llena los vacíos de la historia de su madre y de su propia memoria, Scott investiga los espinosos fundamentos psicológicos y morales de las acciones que tomamos en nombre del amor, cuestionando aquella línea divisoria que trazamos entre la pasión y la posesión. Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano. - Stephanie Scott es una escritora británica que nació y creció en Singapur.

Kaitarō pues deberá hacer aquello que el marido de Rina no se ha dignado a hacer nunca, para así poder enamorarla. Mientras Rina ignora las circunstancias que lo han unido a Kaitarō, ambos se enamoran desesperadamente, lo que les conducirá a un callejón sin salida en el que la propia hija de Rina se verá atrapada. Contada desde puntos de vista alternos y con el impresionante paisaje de Japón siempre como telón de fondo, Stephanie Scott presenta una novela en la que el amor tiene unas intrincadas repercusiones que arrastran a sus personajes hacia la tragedia. Mientras la hija de Rina, Sumiko, llena los vacíos de la historia de su madre y de su propia memoria, Scott investiga los espinosos fundamentos psicológicos y morales de las acciones que tomamos en nombre del amor, cuestionando aquella línea divisoria que trazamos entre la pasión y la posesión. Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano. - Stephanie Scott es una escritora británica que nació y creció en Singapur. Licenciada en Literatura por las universidades de York y Cambridge, con un master en escritura creativa por la Universidad de Oxford, recibió una beca de la Asociación Británica de Estudios Japoneses Toshiba por su trabajo antropológico en Lo que queda de mí es tuyo, su primera novela, y se convirtió en miembro de la Asociación Británica de Derecho Japonés como resultado de su investigación. Un primer borrador del manuscrito ganó el premio A.M. Heath, el Jerwood Arvon Prize y fue finalista del Premio Bridport Prize Peggy Chapman-Andrews.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-alles-geben-warum-der-weg-zu-einer-gerechteren-welt-bei-uns-selbst-anfangt-ungekurzte-lesung-by-neven-subotic-sonja-hartwig--65158646https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/601565 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [German] - Alles geben - Warum der Weg zu einer gerechteren Welt bei uns selbst anfängt (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Neven Subotic, Sonja Hartwig Narrator: Neven Subotic Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: June 9, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Eine persönliche Kritik am abgehobenen System Profifußball und der globalen Ungerechtigkeit. Wie gerecht ist es, dass ein Fußballer Millionen verdient, während eine Putzfrau von einem Job allein nicht leben kann? Dass wir jederzeit ein Glas Wasser trinken können, aber täglich 2.000 Kinder an Krankheiten sterben, die durch verunreinigtes Wasser übertragen werden? Die Frage der Gerechtigkeit zieht sich durch Neven Suboti?s Leben ... schon lange bevor ihm dies bewusst wurde. In den Neunziger Jahren floh er mit seinen Eltern aus Jugoslawien nach Deutschland, als die Abschiebung drohte, gingen sie in die USA. Mit 17 kam er wieder, um Fußballprofi zu werden. Mit Borussia Dortmund wurde er Meister und galt als einer der besten Verteidiger der Liga. Es folgten Nächte des Rauschs, schnelle Autos, ein riesiges Haus mit Jacuzzi - aber es kamen auch Zweifel und Scham. Auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere entschied er, seine Leidenschaft und sein Geld denen zu widmen, die ein Leben im anderen Extrem führen müssen: Heute ermöglicht die von ihm gegründete Stiftung Menschen in Äthiopien Zugang zu sauberem Wasser. Fast seine ganze Zeit und der Großteil seines Gehalts fließen in diese Arbeit. Das Buch erzählt von einem Profisportler, den das ultrakapitalistische Fußballsystem groß machte, bevor er zum gesellschaftspolitischen Aktivisten wurde.

Title: [German] - Auf heißem Stuhl im Rockerkrieg: Als Chefredakteur eines Rockermagazins zwischen Hells Angels und Bandidos Author: Dr. Michael Ahlsdorf Narrator: Michael J. Diekmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 35 minutes Release date: May 25, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Schießereien, Auftragsmorde, organisierte Kriminalität: Die Rockerszene ist auch in Deutschland aggressiver und gefährlicher geworden. Was in den Sechzigerjahren mit einzelnen Chartern der Hells Angels begann, ist längst eine eigene Welt aus rivalisierenden Gruppen, die nicht nur im Dauerkonflikt mit der Polizei und den Behörden stehen, sondern auch mit der Konkurrenz. Ende der Neunziger veränderte sich die Szene stark. Kleine Clubs wurden, nicht selten unter Androhung von Gewalt, von größeren, meist Hells Angels und Bandidos, übernommen oder zur Unterstützung verpflichtet. In diesem aufgeheizten Klima begann der junge Journalist Michael Ahlsdorf als Redakteur bei der Bikers News, einem Magazin für die Rockerclubs, das zwar auch über Motorräder berichtete, aber vor allem über die Geschehnisse bei den Gruppierungen schrieb. Für Michael Ahlsdorf wurde es zum Drahtseilakt: Gab es in einer Ausgabe einen vierseitigen Bandidos-Bericht, dann musste die nächste Titelstory über die Angels mindestens genauso lang sein. Ahlsdorf lernte alle führenden Rocker kennen, erlebte die Kriege um Macht und Einfluss hautnah mit und kam selbst oft genug in brenzlige Situationen. So sehr ihn die hierarchischen Strukturen, Egotrips und Gewaltexzesse gelegentlich auch befremdeten, blieb doch immer die Faszination für diese unangepasste Subkultur mit ihren Ritualen und eigenen Gesetzen. Auf heißem Stuhl bietet einen kritischen Einblick in die Rockerwelt, der ganz anders ausfällt, als gewöhnlich in den Schlagzeilen der Medien vermittelt wird. Ein echter Insider-Bericht: schonungslos, offen und provokant!]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/595093Wed, 25 May 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/595093 to listen full audiobooks.

Who is Alexei Navalny? Poisoned in August 2020 and transported to Germany for treatment, the politician returned to Russia in January 2021 in the full glare of the world media. His immediate detention at passport control set the stage for an explosive showdown with Vladimir Putin. But Navalny means very different things to different people. To some, he is a democratic hero. To others, he is betraying the Motherland. To others still, he is a dangerous nationalist. Navalny explores the many dimensions of his political life, from his pioneering anti-corruption investigations to his ideas and leadership of a political movement. It also looks at how his activities and the Kremlin's strategies have shaped one another.

But let us never twist, censor, or cancel it.And yet, more and more followers of the Left want to do just that. As they control the media, academia, entertainment, science, and medicine … who is to stop them?Time is of the essence. We must find our voices. The 56 left the blueprint: Liberty.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/thomas-jefferson-a-biography-of-spirit-and-flesh-by-thomas-s-kidd--65158606https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/617267 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Thomas Jefferson: A Biography of Spirit and Flesh Author: Thomas S.

But the ethical realities of his personal life and political career did not live up to his soaring rhetoric. Indeed, three tensions defined Jefferson’s moral life: democracy versus slavery, republican virtue versus dissolute consumption, and veneration for Jesus versus skepticism about Christianity. In this book Thomas S. Kidd tells the story of Jefferson’s ethical life through the lens of these tensions, including an unapologetic focus on the issue where Jefferson’s idealistic philosophy and lived reality clashed most obviously: his sexual relationship with his enslaved woman Sally Hemings.

A man ready for a change. And a completely unique trip through Europe. In 1784, Thomas Jefferson was a broken man. Reeling from the loss of his wife and stung from a political scandal during the Revolutionary war, he needed to remake himself. Wandering through Europe, Jefferson saw and learned as much as he could, ultimately bringing his knowledge home to a young America. There, he would rise to power and shape a nation. More than two hundred years later, Derek Baxter, a devotee of American history, stumbles on an obscure travel guide written by Jefferson—Hints for Americans Traveling Through Europe—as he's going through his own personal crisis. Who better to offer advice than a founding father himself? But what Baxter learns isn't always what Jefferson had in mind, and as he comes to understand Jefferson better, he doesn't always like what he finds. In Pursuit of Jefferson is at once the story of a life-changing trip through Europe, an unflinching look at a founding father, and a moving personal journey. With rich historical detail, a sense of humor, and boundless heart, Baxter explores how we can be better moving forward only by first looking back.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/571002Tue, 26 Apr 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/571002 to listen full audiobooks.

Leonard Narrator: Justin Price Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 30 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Benjamin Franklin Butler was one of the most important and controversial military and political leaders of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. Remembered most often for his uncompromising administration of the Federal occupation of New Orleans during the war, Butler reemerges in this lively narrative as a man whose journey took him from childhood destitution to wealth and profound influence in state and national halls of power. Prize-winning biographer Elizabeth D. Leonard chronicles Butler's successful career in the law defending the rights of the Lowell Mill girls and other workers, his achievements as one of Abraham Lincoln's premier civilian generals, and his role in developing wartime policy in support of slavery's fugitives as the nation advanced toward emancipation. Leonard also highlights Butler's personal and political evolution, revealing how his limited understanding of racism and the horrors of slavery transformed over time, leading him into a postwar role as one of the nation's foremost advocates for Black freedom and civil rights, and one of its notable opponents of white supremacy and neo-Confederate resurgence. Butler himself claimed he was 'always with the underdog in the fight.'

Based on the original trial transcripts, it is for you to decide if an innocent man was sent to the gallows. On January 11, 1950, Timothy Evans of 10 Rillington Place stood trial at the Old Bailey, accused of the murder of Geraldine, his own baby daughter. The courtroom was heavy with tension as the prosecution, led by Mr Christmas Humphreys, began delving into the mysterious death of his wife, building their case on the sworn testimony of a fellow tenant who resided on the ground floor… Mr John Reginald Christie. The jury took only 35 minutes to find him guilty and on March 9, still protesting his innocence, Timothy Evans was hanged at Pentonville Prison. But that wasn’t the end of the matter. Three and a half years later… Christie, by now destitute and homeless, is arrested while loitering on the embankment near Putney Bridge in London. And so begins one of the most infamous trials in British legal history, when Christie, a seemingly unassuming and quiet man is charged with the murder of his wife, Ethel. A serial killer and necrophiliac, he is tried in the same court as Evans and in spite of his plea of insanity, he is destined to stand on the very same gallows at Pentonville Prison as Timothy Evans.

Based on the original trial transcripts, eyewitness testimonies and contemporary reports, we invite you to join the Jury at the Old Bailey and reach your own verdict. The Trial of Ruth Ellis: What drove this attractive mother of two young children to fire six fatal shots on Easter Sunday into the body of the man she loved? Why was she so calm and dignified when she was questioned in the dock? And what caused the furore and outrage in the country when she was sentenced to hang? Did class prejudice and misogyny play a role? The Trial of Dr Crippen: Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, a seemingly mild-mannered man charged with one of England’s most infamous murders in 1910, takes the courtroom by surprise with his unexpected plea of ‘Not Guilty,’ turning a seemingly straightforward case into a moving tale of passion and despair. 10 Rillington Place – The Trials of Evans & Christie: Dive into the sinister world of 1950’s London and the chilling story of the Rillington Place murders. Timothy Evans is wrongly hanged for the murder of his baby daughter, thanks to the sworn testimony of his fellow tenant, John Reginald Christie, who is himself arrested three years later and charged with the murder of his wife. This unassuming and quiet man pleads insanity but is this true or is he in fact a calculating serial killer and necrophiliac.

Title: The New Elizabethans: A BBC history of the Queen’s reign, told through its most notable characters Author: James Naughtie Narrator: James Naughtie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 53 minutes Release date: April 14, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: James Naughtie examines the lives and impact of the men and women who have given the second Elizabethan Age its character As the longest-lived and longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II has presided over an era of tremendous social, political and cultural change. In 2012, to mark her Diamond Jubilee, Radio 4 looked back on the long span of her reign, and asked the public to choose high-profile public figures who have helped to define this New Elizabethan Age. Almost a thousand nominations poured in, and the final selection was decided by a panel of leading writers and historians, including Dominic Sandbrook, Bamber Gascoigne and Max Hastings. In this celebratory collection, distinguished broadcaster James Naughtie profiles 37 of these iconic individuals. They come from all walks of life - from artists and scientists like David Hockney and Francis Crick, to business legends such as Alan Sainsbury and Anita Roddick, politicians including Roy Jenkins, Tony Blair and Alex Salmond, and even a member of the Royal Family: Diana, Princess of Wales. Some are world-famous, others less well-known, and there are several surprising choices - and a few controversial ones. But all have made their mark on our nation, for good or ill. Here are fascinating portraits of mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary, whose conquest of Everest was announced on the day of the Queen's coronation; Elizabeth David, the food writer who brought European cuisine to British tables; leading thinker on British culture, race and identity Stuart Hall; renowned English composer Benjamin Britten; the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee - and many more, whose achievements and influence will stand the test of time. Together, they shine a light on postwar Britain, illuminating how our society has evolved over the seven decades since Queen Elizabeth II's accession.

Simon Woolley is a member of the House of Lords, the first Black man to head an Oxbridge college, and a policy changemaker who has the ear of prime ministers and the future King. But this is a Lord who wants to shake up the establishment; an outsider who knows how important it is to bring underrepresented voices to the table.

Title: [Italian] - Barack Obama Pienamente Svelato Author: Celine Claire Narrator: Giulia Segreti Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 23 minutes Release date: April 13, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: L'e-book è una biografia della vita di Obama da bambino e delle sue attività prima, durante e dopo essere stato il 44° presidente degli Stati Uniti.Barack Hussein Obama è nato il 4 agosto 1961 a Honolulu, Hawaii. È un politico e avvocato americano che ha servito come 44° presidente per due mandati dal 2009 al 2017. È figlio di genitori del Kenya e del Kansas. Il padre di Barack Obama, Barack Obama Senior, è nato di etnia Luo nella provincia di Nyanza, in Kenya. Il padre di Obama è cresciuto allevando capre in Africa. Alla fine, ricevette una borsa di studio che gli permise di lasciare il Kenya e seguire il suo sogno di andare al college alle Hawaii. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, la mamma di Obama, Ann Dunham, nacque in una base militare a Wichita, Kansas. Mentre studiava all'Università delle Hawaii a Manoa, il padre di Obama incontrò la compagna di studi Ann Dunham. I due si sposarono il 2 febbraio 1961, e Obama Junior nacque sei mesi dopo. Obama Senior se ne andò poco dopo la nascita di Obama Junior, e la coppia divorziò due anni dopo. Nel 1965, Ann Dunham si risposò con Lolo Soetoro, uno studente indonesiano dell'Università delle Hawaii. Dodici mesi dopo, la nuova famiglia si trasferì a Giacarta, in Indonesia, dove la sorellastra di Obama Junior, Maya Soetoro Ng, nacque nel 1970. Una serie di incidenti in Indonesia lasciarono Ann Dunham incerta sulla sicurezza e l'educazione di Obama Junior. Così, quando aveva 10 anni, Obama Junior fu rimandato alle Hawaii per vivere con i suoi nonni materni. Ann Dunham e la sorellastra di Obama Junior, Maya Soetoro Ng, li raggiunsero più tardi. Barack Obama Junior crescendo non ha avuto alcun rapporto con suo padre. Mentre Obama Junior era ancora un bambino, suo padre si trasferì nel Massachusetts per frequentare l'Università di Harvard e conseguire un dottorato di ricerca. I genitori di Obama Junior si separarono ufficialmente dopo qualche tempo e alla fine divorziarono nel marzo 1964, quando Obama Junior aveva due anni. Dopo un po' di tempo, Obama Senior tornò in Kenya. Barack Obama ha dovuto fare i conti con l'assenza del padre durante la sua infanzia, che ha visto solo una volta dopo il divorzio dei suoi genitori. Ciò avvenne quando Obama Senior visitò le Hawaii per un breve periodo nel 1971. "[Mio padre] ci aveva lasciato, e niente di quello che mia madre o i miei nonni mi dicevano poteva ovviare a questo singolo, inattaccabile fatto", rifletteva più tardi Obama Junior. "Non erano in grado di dire come sarebbe stato se fosse rimasto". Mentre viveva con i suoi nonni, Obama Junior si è iscritto alla stimata Punahou Academy. Eccelleva nella pallacanestro e si è laureato con lode accademica nel 1979. Poiché era tra gli unici tre studenti neri della scuola, Obama Junior divenne consapevole del razzismo e di ciò che significava veramente essere un afroamericano. Obama Junior ha poi descritto come ha lottato per conciliare le percezioni sociali della sua eredità multirazziale con il suo senso di sé: "Ho notato che non c'era nessuno come me nel catalogo natalizio di Sears, Roebuck....e che Babbo Natale era un uomo bianco. Obama Junior scrisse: "Andai in bagno e rimasi di fronte allo specchio con tutti i miei sensi e arti apparentemente intatti, con l'aspetto che avevo sempre avuto, e mi chiesi se c'era qualcosa di sbagliato in me".

Così, quando aveva 10 anni, Obama Junior fu rimandato alle Hawaii per vivere con i suoi nonni materni. Ann Dunham e la sorellastra di Obama Junior, Maya Soetoro Ng, li raggiunsero più tardi. Barack Obama Junior crescendo non ha avuto alcun rapporto con suo padre. Mentre Obama Junior era ancora un bambino, suo padre si trasferì nel Massachusetts per frequentare l'Università di Harvard e conseguire un dottorato di ricerca. I genitori di Obama Junior si separarono ufficialmente dopo qualche tempo e alla fine divorziarono nel marzo 1964, quando Obama Junior aveva due anni. Dopo un po' di tempo, Obama Senior tornò in Kenya. Barack Obama ha dovuto fare i conti con l'assenza del padre durante la sua infanzia, che ha visto solo una volta dopo il divorzio dei suoi genitori. Ciò avvenne quando Obama Senior visitò le Hawaii per un breve periodo nel 1971. "[Mio padre] ci aveva lasciato, e niente di quello che mia madre o i miei nonni mi dicevano poteva ovviare a questo singolo, inattaccabile fatto", rifletteva più tardi Obama Junior. "Non erano in grado di dire come sarebbe stato se fosse rimasto". Mentre viveva con i suoi nonni, Obama Junior si è iscritto alla stimata Punahou Academy. Eccelleva nella pallacanestro e si è laureato con lode accademica nel 1979. Poiché era tra gli unici tre studenti neri della scuola, Obama Junior divenne consapevole del razzismo e di ciò che significava veramente essere un afroamericano. Obama Junior ha poi descritto come ha lottato per conciliare le percezioni sociali della sua eredità multirazziale con il suo senso di sé: "Ho notato che non c'era nessuno come me nel catalogo natalizio di Sears, Roebuck....e che Babbo Natale era un uomo bianco. Obama Junior scrisse: "Andai in bagno e rimasi di fronte allo specchio con tutti i miei sensi e arti apparentemente intatti, con l'aspetto che avevo sempre avuto, e mi chiesi se c'era qualcosa di sbagliato in me".

Ein Erfahrungsbericht über das System Spitzenpolitik, emotionale Achterbahnen und den Mut zum Neuanfang.' Brigitte Huber, Chefredakteurin BRIGITTE. 2021 beendet die Bundestagsabgeordnete Katja Suding, stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende der FDP und eines der bekanntesten Gesichter der Freien Demokraten, ihre politische Laufbahn. Aus freien Stücken. Und überraschte damit Weggefährten und Kontrahenten gleichermaßen. Natürlich stellte sich sofort die Frage: Was steckt dahinter? Geht es hier um ein Zerwürfnis in der Partei? Kommt Suding, die als eines der größten Talente in der deutschen Politik gilt, einem Rauswurf zuvor? Zieht sie die Reißleine, ehe irgendein noch unbekannter Skandal auffliegt und die Partei in Mitleidenschaft zieht? Nichts davon ist der Fall. Die Wahrheit ist einfacher. Katja Suding war an einem Punkt angekommen, an dem sie erkennen musste: Ich bin nicht mehr ich. Sie merkt: Das exzessive Leben in der Topetage der Politik unter permanenter öffentlicher Beobachtung hat sie von sich selbst entfremdet. Sie beschließt, ihren Abschied aus der Politik selbst zu bestimmen und zu neuen Ufern aufzubrechen. In 'Reißleine' erzählt Katja Suding, was die Politik mit ihr gemacht hat, warum sie ausgestiegen ist, durch welche Täler sie auf dem Weg zurück zu sich selbst gegangen ist, und wie sich ihr Leben fortan entfaltet.

Title: Jefferson An Autobiography In Letters & Private Writings Author: Thomas Jefferson Narrator: The Ark, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 33 minutes Release date: April 7, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Thomas Jefferson was an American statesman, diplomat, lawyer, architect, philosopher, and Founding Father who served as the third president of the United States from 1801 to 1809. He had previously served as the second vice president of the United States under John Adams and as the first United States secretary of state under George Washington. The principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was a proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights, motivating American colonists to break from the Kingdom of Great Britain and form a new nation; he produced formative documents and decisions at both the state and national levels. During the American Revolution, Jefferson represented Virginia in the Continental Congress that adopted the Declaration of Independence. As a Virginia legislator, he drafted a state law for religious freedom. He served as the second Governor of Virginia from 1779 to 1781, during the American Revolutionary War. In 1785, Jefferson was appointed the United States Minister to France, and subsequently, the nation's first secretary of state under President George Washington from 1790 to 1793. Jefferson and James Madison organized the Democratic-Republican Party to oppose the Federalist Party during the formation of the First Party System. With Madison, he anonymously wrote the provocative Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in 1798 and 1799, which sought to strengthen states' rights by nullifying the federal Alien and Sedition Acts. As president, Jefferson pursued the nation's shipping and trade interests against Barbary pirates and aggressive British trade policies. Starting in 1803, Jefferson promoted a western expansionist policy, organizing the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the nation's claimed land area. To make room for settlement, Jefferson began the process of Indian tribal removal from the newly acquired territory.

Title: George Soros: A Life In Full Author: Peter L.W. Osnos Narrator: Petrea Burchard, Earl Mclean, Shaun Grindell, George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 58 minutes Release date: April 5, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The name George Soros is recognized around the world. Universally known for his decades of philanthropy, progressive politics, and investment success, he is equally well known as the nemesis of the far right—the target of sustained attacks from nationalists, populists, authoritarian regimes, and anti-Semites—because of his commitment to open society, freedom of the press, and liberal democracy. At age ninety-one, Soros still looms large on the global stage, and yet the man himself is surprisingly little understood. Biographers have attempted to tell the story of George Soros, but no single account of his life can capture his extraordinary, multifaceted character. Now, in this ambitious and revealing new book, Soros's longtime publisher, Peter L. W. Osnos, has assembled an intriguing set of contributors from a variety of different perspectives—public intellectuals (Eva Hoffman, Michael Ignatieff), journalists (Sebastian Mallaby, Orville Schell), scholars (Leon Botstein, Ivan Krastev), and nonprofit leaders (Gara LaMarche, Darren Walker)—to paint a full picture of the man beyond the media portrayals. Through this kaleidoscope of viewpoints emerges a vivid and compelling portrait of this remarkable man's unique and consequential impact.

Title: [Spanish] - Oración: Carta a Vicki y otras elegías políticas Author: María Moreno Narrator: Ines Ulanovsky Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 46 minutes Release date: April 1, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Partiendo del enfrentamiento en el que muere Vicki Walsh a través de documentos y testimonios de sobrevivientes, Oración es una relectura de la obra periodística de Rodolfo Walsh y sus procedimientos estético-políticos a partir de sus 'Carta a Vicki' y 'Carta a mis amigos', menos conocidas que su 'Carta a la Junta'. Combinación y cruce de géneros, el libro es principalmente una investigación sobre la verdad en su dimensión para-judicial, sus metáforas y el nuevo valor del testimonio. Oración es de aquellos libros que transforman nuestra sensibilidad al pensar la tragedia humana. Con la investigación del asalto del Ejército a la casa donde a fines de 1976 muere Vicki Walsh, el libro propone una nueva tradición fundada en las cartas que Rodolfo Walsh dedica a su hija y a sus amigos. En esos textos, la gesta política de Walsh se transforma en literaria e íntima, porque instaura un linaje de mujeres destinado a jaquear el protocolo testimonial de la violencia política que -en cine, literatura y teatro- estallará con la interpelación recurrente de hijas y madres sobre los alcances de la vida y el amor. María Moreno, consagrada como una de las voces más audaces y plenas de Hispanoamérica, arrasa con las fronteras entre ensayo, literatura, crítica, investigación y biografía para llevar la escritura a un nuevo mundo, del que es a la vez creadora, descubridora y cronista. La crítica ha dicho... «Somos muchos los que consideramos a María Moreno la mejor cronista argentina de todos los tiempos y una de las voces documentales más lúcidas de la lengua, entre otras hipérboles razonables.» Jorge Carrión, The New York Times 'La verdad de Moreno es una norma de estilo, de un gran estilo plebeyo.'

La crítica ha dicho... «Somos muchos los que consideramos a María Moreno la mejor cronista argentina de todos los tiempos y una de las voces documentales más lúcidas de la lengua, entre otras hipérboles razonables.» Jorge Carrión, The New York Times 'La verdad de Moreno es una norma de estilo, de un gran estilo plebeyo.'

Title: [Spanish] - De la paz al olvido: Porfirio Díaz y el final de un mundo Author: Rafael Tovar Y De Teresa Narrator: Rafa Serrano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 41 minutes Release date: March 31, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: De la paz al olvido dibuja el vasto panorama que abarca el arco de tiempo entre el último brindis triunfal de don Porfirio Díaz a su último aliento. De la paz al olvido narra la historia del declive de Porfirio Díaz en medio de la transformación en México y Europa, en la que se cruzan la Revolución mexicana y la Belle Époque, el fin del orden monárquico y el inicio de la democracia moderna. Rafael Tovar y de Teresa ofrece al lector el retrato de una época y la crónica de un personaje que lo fue casi todo: héroe, dictador, soldado, pacificador, culto cívico y fantasma en el exilio. El 15 de septiembre de 1910, Porfirio Díaz cumplía ochenta años, encabezando los festejos del Centenario -una conmemoración cuyo objetivo era presentar a México ante el mundo como un país próspero y moderno, yasimismo ensalzar la figura del arquitecto de ese progreso-. Sin embargo, la fiesta también sería la antesala de una convulsión. Menos de un año después, el 25 de mayo de 1911, Díaz presenta su renuncia como presidente de la República, para partir rumbo al exilio europeo, antes de una semana, a bordo del Ypiranga. Tres años más tarde, estalla la Gran Guerra, dando fin a la larga paz del siglo XIX. Once meses después, el 2 julio de 1915, muere en París el caudillo mexicano. Parece un periodo breve, pero el cambio político, social y cultural ocurrido en estos años es uno de los más radicales de la historia. Díaz llega a una Europa que vive el ocaso de una época marcada por el crecimiento económico, el fulgor científico y artístico, y el imperio de fuertes hombres de Estado. El viejo general ve en este declive su propio reflejo, mientras desde México le llegan noticias de la guerra civil y de cómo su nombre va cayendo en el olvido.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/580487Thu, 31 Mar 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/580487 to listen full audiobooks.

As a 'made man' for the Colombo crime family, he operated out of his Long Island home specializing in racketeering, fraud, loansharking, and other illicit deeds he would deny to his dying day. His career in organized crime spanned over eight decades—and he was sentenced to fifty years in prison for robbery charges. But even behind bars, Sonny Franzese never stopped doing business . . . This is the true story of an old-school Mafioso as it's never been told before. Newsday reporter S. J. Peddie interviewed Franzese in prison—and uncovered a lifetime of shocking secrets from the legend himself: why FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had a very personal interest in Sonny; how Sonny managed to juggle numerous affairs with women, including a famous model; how Sonny spent a third of his life in prison—and still managed to earn untold millions for the mob; how Sonny accidentally revealed some of his worst crimes—to a 'friend' wearing a wire; and how Sonny hobnobbed with celebrities such as Ava Gardner, Jayne Mansfield, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Dionne Warwick, among others.

Title: The Black Man's President: Abraham Lincoln, African Americans, & the Pursuit of Racial Equality Author: Michael Burlingame Narrator: Tony Isabella Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 45 minutes Release date: March 29, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In a little-noted eulogy delivered after Lincoln's assassination, Frederick Douglass called the president 'emphatically the black man's president,' the 'first to show any respect for their rights as men.' Douglass pointed not just to Lincoln's official acts and utterances, like the Emancipation Proclamation or the Second Inaugural Address, but also to the president's own personal experiences with Black people. But Lincoln's description as 'emphatically the black man's president' rests on more than his relationship with Douglass or on his official words and deeds. Lincoln interacted with many other African Americans during his presidency. His unfailing cordiality to them, his willingness to meet with them in the White House, to honor their requests, to invite them to consult on public policy, to treat them with respect whether they were kitchen servants or leaders of the Black community, to invite them to attend receptions, to sing and pray with them in their neighborhoods—all those manifestations of an egalitarian spirit justified the tributes paid to him by Frederick Douglass and other African Americans.

Title: Campaign of the Century: Kennedy, Nixon, and the Election of 1960 Author: Irwin F. Gellman Narrator: Christopher Douyard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 6 minutes Release date: March 15, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Based on massive new research, a compelling and surprising account of the twentieth century's closest election. The 1960 presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon is one of the most frequently described political events of the twentieth century, yet the accounts to date have been remarkably unbalanced. Far more attention is given to Kennedy's side than to Nixon's. The imbalance began with the first book on that election, Theodore White's The Making of the President 1960—in which (as he later admitted) White deliberately cast Kennedy as the hero and Nixon as the villain—and it has been perpetuated in almost every book since then. Few historians have attempted an unbiased account of the election, and none have done the archival research that Irwin F. Gellman has done. Based on previously unused sources such as the FBI's surveillance of JFK and the papers of Leon Jaworski, vice-presidential candidate Henry Cabot Lodge, and many others, this book presents the first even-handed history of both the primary campaigns and the general election. The result is a fresh, engaging chronicle that shatters long-held myths and reveals the strengths and weaknesses of both candidates.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567505Tue, 15 Mar 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567505 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Blessed Are the Bank Robbers: The True Adventures of an Evangelical Outlaw Author: Chas Smith Narrator: Chas Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 38 minutes Release date: March 15, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: A rollicking true story of Bibles and bank robberies in Southern California, from a talented and highly praised gonzo journalist. Chas Smith grew up deeply enmeshed in the evangelical Christian world that grew out of Southern California in the late 1960s. His family included famous missionaries and megachurch pastors, but his cousin Daniel Courson was Grandma’s favorite. Smith looked up to Cousin Danny. He was handsome, adventurous, and smart, earned a degree from Bible college, and settled into a family and a stable career. Needless to say, it was a big surprise when Cousin Danny started robbing banks. Known as the “Floppy Hat Bandit,” Courson robbed nineteen of them in a torrid six-week spree before being caught and sentenced to seven years. When he tried to escape, they tacked on another year. And when he finally got out, despite seeming to be back on the straight and narrow, Cousin Danny disappeared. Banks started getting robbed again. It seemed Cousin Danny might be gunning for the record. Smith’s Blessed Are the Bank Robbers is the wild, and wildly entertaining, story of an all-American anti-hero. It’s a tale of bank robberies, art and jewel heists, high-speed chases, fake identities, encrypted Swiss email accounts, jilted lovers, and the dark side of an evangelical family (and it wasn’t just Danny; an uncle was mixed up with the mujahideen). It’s a book about what it means to live inside the church and outside the law.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/601336Tue, 15 Mar 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/601336 to listen full audiobooks.

În cele din urmă, a primit o bursă care i-a permis să plece din Kenya și să își urmeze visul de merge la facultate în Hawai. Mama lui Obama, Ann Dunham, s-a născut într-o bază militară din Wichita, Kansas, în timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial. În timpul studiilor de la Universitatea din Hawai din Manoa, tatăl lui Obama a întâlnit-o pe colega sa Ann Dunham. Cei doi s-au căsătorit la data de 2 februarie 1961, iar Obama junior s-a născut cu șase luni mai târziu. Obama senior a plecat imediat după nașterea acestuia, iar cuplul a divorțat doi ani mai târziu. În 1965, Ann Dunham s-a recăsătorit cu Lolo Soetoro, un student indonezian de la Universitatea din Hawai. Douăsprezece luni mai târziu în 1970, noua familie s-a transferat la Jakarta, Indonezia, unde s-a născut sora vitregă a lui Obama Junior, Maya Soetoro Ng. O succesiune de evenimente din Indonezia au contribuit la nesiguranța lui Ann Dunham în ceea ce privește siguranța și educația lui Obama junior. Astfel, la vârsta de 10 ani, acesta a fost trimis înapoi în Hawai pentru a locui cu bunicii săi materni. Mai târziu, Ann Dunham și sora vitregă a lui Obama, Maya Soetoro Ng li s-au alăturat. În copilărie, Barack Obama junior nu a avut o relație cu tatăl său. În timp ce Obama Junior era încă un prunc, tatăl său s-a mutat în Massachusetts pentru a studia la Universitatea Harvard și a obține un doctorat. Părinții lui Obama Junior s-au separat oficial după ceva timp și au divorțat în martie 1964, când acesta avea doi ani. După un timp, Obama Senior s-a întors în Kenya. Barack Obama s-a confruntat cu absența tatălui său în copilărie, pe care l-a văzut încă o dată după ce părinții săi au divorțat. Acest lucru s-a întâmplat atunci când Obama Senior a vizitat Hawai pentru o scurtă perioadă de timp în 1971. „[Tatăl meu] a părăsit paradisul și nimic din ceea ce mi-au spus mama sau bunicii nu ar putea înlătura acel fapt unic, inatacabil” a spus Obama Junior. „Ei nu au putut descrie cum ar fi fost dacă tata ar fi rămas.” În timp ce trăia cu bunicii săi, Obama Junior s-a înscris la stimata Academie Punahou. A excelat în baschet și a absolvit cu onoruri academice în 1979. Deoarece se număra printre singurii trei elevi de culoare de la școală, Obama Junior a realizat ce înseamnă rasismul și ce însemnă cu adevărat să fii afro-american. Mai târziu, Obama Junior a descris cum s-a străduit să reconcilieze percepțiile sociale despre moștenirea sa multirasială cu simțul său de sine: ”Am observat că nu exista nimeni ca mine în catalogul Sears, catalogul de Crăciun Roebuck...iar Moș Crăciun era alb.” Obama junior a scris: „Am mers la toaletă și am stat în fața oglinzii cu toate simțurile și membrele aparent intacte, arătând așa cum arătam mereu și m-am întrebat dacă este ceva în neregulă cu mine”.

The nearly eight years of Harry Truman’s presidency—among the most turbulent in American history—were marked by victory in the wars against Germany and Japan; the first use of an atomic bomb and the development of far deadlier weapons; the start of the Cold War and the creation of the NATO alliance; the Marshall Plan to rebuild the wreckage of postwar Europe; the Red Scare; and the fateful decision to commit troops to fight a costly “limited war” in Korea. Historians have tended to portray Truman as stolid and decisive, with a homespun manner, but the man who emerges in The Trials of Harry S. Truman is complex and surprising. He believed that the point of public service was to improve the lives of one’s fellow citizens and fought for a national health insurance plan. While he was disturbed by the brutal treatment of African Americans and came to support stronger civil rights laws, he never relinquished the deep-rooted outlook of someone with Confederate ancestry reared in rural Missouri. He was often carried along by the rush of events and guided by men who succeeded in refining his fixed and facile view of the postwar world. And while he prided himself on his Midwestern rationality, he could act out of instinct and combativeness, as when he asserted a president’s untested power to seize the nation’s steel mills. The Truman who emerges in these pages is a man with generous impulses, loyal to friends and family, and blessed with keen political instincts, but insecure, quick to anger, and prone to hasty decisions. Archival discoveries, and research that led from Missouri to Washington, Berlin and Korea, have contributed to an indelible and “intimate” (The Washington Post) portrait of a man, born in the 19th century, who set the nation on a course that reverberates in the 21st century, a leader who never lost a schoolboy’s love for his country and its Constitution.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575752Tue, 08 Mar 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575752 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Thomas Jefferson: Family Secrets Author: William G. Hyland Narrator: Kate Mulligan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 48 minutes Release date: February 1, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Much has been written about Thomas Jefferson, the public man, and with good reason: he was the architect of our democracy and a visionary who expanded the nation’s physical boundaries to unimagined lengths. But the intensely private Jefferson joined in a conspiracy to make himself unknowable to the public. Thomas Jefferson: Family Secrets is a new and unprecedented examination of the “intimate” Thomas Jefferson—from his return to Monticello after two terms as president until his death. Author William G. Hyland Jr. pierces Jefferson's private family veil and reveals little-known, poignant scenes of the relatives closest to Jefferson in his last years.

Hyland Narrator: Kate Mulligan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 48 minutes Release date: February 1, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Much has been written about Thomas Jefferson, the public man, and with good reason: he was the architect of our democracy and a visionary who expanded the nation’s physical boundaries to unimagined lengths. But the intensely private Jefferson joined in a conspiracy to make himself unknowable to the public. Thomas Jefferson: Family Secrets is a new and unprecedented examination of the “intimate” Thomas Jefferson—from his return to Monticello after two terms as president until his death. Author William G. Hyland Jr. pierces Jefferson's private family veil and reveals little-known, poignant scenes of the relatives closest to Jefferson in his last years.

Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was born into poverty in a log cabin and was raised on the frontier primarily in Indiana. He was self-educated and became a lawyer, Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator, and U.S. Congressman from Illinois. In 1849, he returned to his law practice but became vexed by the opening of additional lands to slavery. He reentered politics in 1854, becoming a leader in the Republican Party, and reached a national audience in the 1858 debates against Stephen Douglas. Lincoln ran for President in 1860, sweeping the North in victory. To secure its independence, the new Confederate States fired on Fort Sumter, a U.S. fort in the South, and Lincoln called up forces to suppress the rebellion and restore the Union. Lincoln, a moderate Republican, had to navigate an array of factions with friends and opponents from both the Democratic and Republican parties. He managed the factions by exploiting their mutual enmity, carefully distributing political patronage, and by appealing to the American people. His Gettysburg Address appealed to nationalistic, republican, egalitarian, libertarian, and democratic sentiments. Lincoln scrutinized the strategy and tactics in the war effort, including the selection of generals and the naval blockade of the South's trade. He suspended habeas corpus in Maryland, and he averted British intervention by defusing the Trent Affair. He engineered the end to slavery with his Emancipation Proclamation, including his order that the Army and Navy liberate, protect, and recruit former slaves.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/579477Sat, 29 Jan 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/579477 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Swahili] - Kuelezea Ni Nani Barack Obama Kikamilifu Author: Celine Claire Narrator: Ephraim Kamau Njoroge Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 26, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The e-book is a biography of Obama's life as a child and his works before, during, and after being the 44th president of the USA.Barack Hussein Obama was born on 4th August 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is an American politician and attorney who served as the 44th president for two terms from 2009 to 2017. He is the son of parents from Kenya and Kansas. Barack Obama's father, Barack Obama Senior., was born of Luo ethnicity in Nyanza Province, Kenya. Obama's dad grew up herding goats in Africa. Eventually, he received a scholarship that allowed him to leave Kenya and follow his dreams of going to college in Hawaii. During World War II, Obama's mum, Ann Dunham, was born on an Army base in Wichita, Kansas. As he studied at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Obama's dad met fellow student Ann Dunham. The two got married on 2nd February 1961, and Obama Junior was born six months later. Obama Senior left soon after Obama Junior's birth, and the couple divorced two years later. In 1965, Ann Dunham was re-married to Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian student from the University of Hawaii. Twelve months later, the new family transferred to Jakarta, Indonesia, where Obama Junior's half-sister, Maya Soetoro Ng, was born in 1970. A series of incidents in Indonesia left Ann Dunham uncertain of Obama Junior's safety and education. So, when he was 10, Obama Junior was sent back to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents. Ann Dunham and Obama Junior's step-sister, Maya Soetoro Ng, later joined them. Barack Obama Junior Growing Up As a child, Barack Obama Junior did not have a relationship with his father. While Obama Junior was still an infant, his father relocated to Massachusetts to attend Harvard University and pursue a Ph.D. Obama Junior's parents officially separated after some time and eventually divorced in March 1964, when Obama Junior was two years old. After a while, Obama Senior returned to Kenya. Barack Obama struggled with his dad's absence during his childhood, who he saw just once more after his parents had divorced. This was when Obama Senior visited Hawaii for a short while in 1971. “[My father] had left paradise, and nothing that my mother or grandparents told me could obviate that single, unassailable fact,” Obama Junior later reflected. “They couldn’t describe what it might have been like had he stayed.” While living with his grandparents, Obama Junior enrolled in the esteemed Punahou Academy. He excelled in basketball and graduated with academic honors in 1979. Since he was among the only three Black learners at the school, Obama Junior became conscious of racism and what it truly meant to be an African American. Obama Junior later described how he struggled to reconcile social perceptions of his multiracial heritage with his sense of self: “I noticed that there was nobody like me in the Sears, Roebuck Christmas catalog….and that Santa was a white man. Obama Junior wrote: “I went into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror with all my senses and limbs seemingly intact, looking as I had always looked, and wondered if something was wrong with me.” PUBLISHER: TEKTIME]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/570394Wed, 26 Jan 2022 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/570394 to listen full audiobooks.

In his role as commander in chief of the Continental Army, George Washington defeated the British in the American Revolution and established the United States of America. Through his extraordinary military leadership, he guaranteed that the American Republic would move forward in its revolutionary experiment. So how was Washington able to win this seemingly unwinnable war?   This compelling 15-lecture audio course, presented by West Point history professor Seanegan Sculley, answers this and many more questions about one of the most foundational figures in American history. Professor Sculley explores Washington’s singular military career from its beginnings during the French and Indian War through the end of the Revolution.   After investigating Washington’s boyhood experiences and his service in the French and Indian War, you’ll look into the first years of the American Revolution, as he attempts to control a disorganized armed force with no institutional structure. Next, you’ll transition into the second half of the war, as Washington learns from his mistakes and builds a more professional army capable of working with allies to defeat the British. Last, you’ll analyze his actions as a strategist and tactician, as a military administrator and commander, and finally as the first president of the United States wrestling with lingering issues from the War for Independence.

Personajes como el Rey Juan Carlos, Adolfo Suárez, Mario Conde, Felipe González o Margarita Robles son algunos de los muchos protagonistas de este libro. - Juan Fernández-Miranda (Madrid, 1979) es adjunto al director de ABC, donde también es responsable de la sección de España desde 2015. Licenciado en Periodismo (1997-2002) por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, ha trabajado en agencia de noticias, prensa, radio y televisión y es colaborador habitual en programas de política y de tribunales. En la actualidad colabora semanalmente en programas de Televisión Española, Radio Nacional, Es Radio, Telemadrid, Onda Madrid y Canal Sur. Ha escrito dos libros: El guionista de la Transición, el profesor del Rey (Plaza&Janés, 2015), una biografía de Torcuato Fernández-Miranda -su tío abuelo-, que fue prologado por el Rey Juan Carlos; y Don Juan contra Franco (Plaza&Janés, 2018), un relato de la conspiración monárquica que trató de sustituir a Franco en los años 40. Además, fue uno de los autores de España constitucional (1978-2018). Trayectorias y perspectivas, una obra coral de casi 5.000 páginas editada por el Centro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales (CEPC) con motivo del 40 aniversario de la Constitución Española. Javier Chicote Lerena (Logroño, 1979) es doctor en Periodismo por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Profesor universitario y periodista de investigación, avanzó la trama Púnica en Interviú en 2009, cinco años antes de la detención del exsecretario general del PP de Madrid Francisco Granados. También es autor de informaciones premonitorias del caso Gürtel, destapó la caja B de Nueva Rumasa, documentó la vinculación de los líderes de Podemos con los gobiernos de Irán y Venezuela y desveló la trama de chantajes de Manos Limpias y Ausbanc. En junio de 2019 la Asociación de la Prensa de Madrid le concedió el Premio al Mejor Periodista del Año por varias investigaciones, entre ellas la de la tesis doctoral de Pedro Sánchez. Sus informaciones sobre plagios terminaron con la carrera política del presidente del Senado Manuel Cruz. En abril de 2021 dio la exclusiva del adiós a la política de Pablo Iglesias. Lleva el área de investigación de ABC desde 2012 y colabora como analista en varios programas de televisión. El jefe de los espías es su quinto libro.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-die-wandlungen-des-herbert-wehner-von-der-volksfront-zur-grossen-koalition-by-august-h-leugers-scherzberg--65158732https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/579104 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Flim-Flam Man: The Memoir That Inspired Flag Day Author: Jennifer Vogel Narrator: Karen White Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 1 minute Release date: September 28, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The major motion picture Flag Day starring Sean Penn and his daughter Dylan Penn is based on this father-daughter story of a charming criminal—told by the daughter who loved him. One frosty winter morning in 1995, Jennifer Vogel opened the newspaper and read that her father had gone on the run. John Vogel, fifty-two, had been arrested for single-handedly counterfeiting nearly $20 million in US currency—the fourth-largest sum ever seized by federal agents—and then had been released pending trial. Though Jennifer hadn’t spoken to her father in more than four years, the police suspected he might turn up at her Minneapolis apartment. She examined the shadows outside her building, and thought she spotted him at the grocery store and the bus stop. He had simply vanished. Framed around the six months her father eluded authorities, Jennifer’s memoir documents the police chase—stakeouts, lie-detector tests, even a segment on Unsolved Mysteries—and vividly chronicles her tumultuous childhood while examining her father’s legacy. A lifelong criminal who robbed banks, burned down buildings, scammed investors, and even plotted murder, John Vogel was also a hapless dreamer who wrote a novel, baked lemon meringue pies, and took his ten-year-old daughter to see Rocky in an empty theater on Christmas Eve. When it came time to pass his counterfeit bills, he spent them at Wal-Mart for political reasons. Culling from memories, photo albums, public documents, and interviews with the handful of people who knew the real John Vogel, this is an intimate and intensely moving psychological portrait of a charismatic, larger-than-life figure—as told by the daughter who nearly followed in his footsteps.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567034Tue, 28 Sep 2021 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567034 to listen full audiobooks.

Peter Tauber hat eine steile politische Karriere hinter sich. Als bis dato jüngster Generalsekretär der CDU führte er die Partei an der Seite von Angela Merkel während der Flüchtlingskrise durch eine der schwierigsten Phasen ihrer Geschichte.

Title: Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy Author: Larry Tye Narrator: Ben Jaeger-Thomas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 7, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The definitive biography of the most dangerous demagogue in American history, based on first-ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed-door Congressional hearings In the long history of American demagogues, from Huey Long to Donald Trump, never has one man caused so much damage in such a short time as Senator Joseph McCarthy. We still use “McCarthyism” to stand for outrageous charges of guilt by association, a weapon of polarizing slander. From 1950 to 1954, McCarthy destroyed many careers and even entire lives, whipping the nation into a frenzy of paranoia, accusation, loyalty oaths, and terror. When the public finally turned on him, he came crashing down, dying of alcoholism in 1957. Only now, through bestselling author Larry Tye’s exclusive look at the senator’s records, can the full story be told. Demagogue is a masterful portrait of a human being capable of immense evil, yet beguiling charm. McCarthy was a tireless worker and a genuine war hero. His ambitions knew few limits. Neither did his socializing, his drinking, nor his gambling. When he finally made it to the Senate, he flailed around in search of an agenda and angered many with his sharp elbows and lack of integrity. Finally, after three years, he hit upon anti-communism.

Title: Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy Author: Larry Tye Narrator: Ben Jaeger-Thomas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 7, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The definitive biography of the most dangerous demagogue in American history, based on first-ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed-door Congressional hearings In the long history of American demagogues, from Huey Long to Donald Trump, never has one man caused so much damage in such a short time as Senator Joseph McCarthy. We still use “McCarthyism” to stand for outrageous charges of guilt by association, a weapon of polarizing slander. From 1950 to 1954, McCarthy destroyed many careers and even entire lives, whipping the nation into a frenzy of paranoia, accusation, loyalty oaths, and terror. When the public finally turned on him, he came crashing down, dying of alcoholism in 1957. Only now, through bestselling author Larry Tye’s exclusive look at the senator’s records, can the full story be told. Demagogue is a masterful portrait of a human being capable of immense evil, yet beguiling charm. McCarthy was a tireless worker and a genuine war hero. His ambitions knew few limits. Neither did his socializing, his drinking, nor his gambling. When he finally made it to the Senate, he flailed around in search of an agenda and angered many with his sharp elbows and lack of integrity. Finally, after three years, he hit upon anti-communism. By recklessly charging treason against everyone from George Marshall to much of the State Department, he became the most influential and controversial man in America. His chaotic, meteoric rise is a gripping and terrifying object lesson for us all. Yet his equally sudden fall from fame offers reason for hope that, given the rope, most American demagogues eventually hang themselves.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/chasing-black-gold-the-incredible-true-story-of-a-fuel-smuggler-in-africa-by-robert-stone--65158659https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/600868 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me Author: Rielle Hunter Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 34 minutes Release date: June 26, 2012 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The John Edwards–Rielle Hunter affair made headlines for years. 'One of the biggest political scandals of all time,' 'a fall from grace,' 'a modern-day tragedy'—it's a story that has been reported, distorted, and spun over and over again by the media, by political aides, by the US government, and by supposed friends. There is, however, someone who actually knows the truth, someone who lived it from day one—the woman at the heart of the story itself: Rielle Hunter. In What Really Happened, Hunter offers an extremely personal account of her relationship with John Edwards: the facts of how they actually met, how their accidental love started and escalated, what it was like to fall in love with a married man who decided to run for president, the surprise of becoming pregnant during the campaign, how the affair became public, the extensive cover-up, and finally, what happened in the years after Edwards publicly admitted to being the father of their daughter, Frances Quinn. Meet Edwards' political players and get an intimate look at how they really operated. Learn about the evolution of friends, enablers, and do-gooders, their involvement with the affair and Edwards' 2008 presidential campaign, and where the money from Rachel 'Bunny' Mellon and Fred Baron actually went. This book doesn't spin the truth to achieve a prettier picture or a better story. It isn't about changing anyone's mind.

Lincoln’s administrative genius, his war strategy, and his neglect of the lesser for the greater are all treated in this masterly portrait.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/an-autobiography-the-story-of-my-experiments-with-truth-by-mohandas-k-mahatma-gandhi--65158574https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/624188 to listen full audiobooks. Title: An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth Author: Mohandas K. (mahatma) Gandhi Narrator: Bill Wallace Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 43 minutes Release date: April 16, 2010 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: A holy man to Hindus, a hero to Muslims, and a criminal to the British, Mohandas K. Gandhi was one of the most influential and inspiring figures of the twentieth century, a man whose quest to live in accord with God’s highest truth led him to initiate massive campaigns against racism, violence, and colonialism. From his youthful rebellion against vegetarianism, to his successful law practice in South Africa, his struggle with his own sexual excesses, and his leadership of the movement to free India from British rule, Gandhi describes the story of his life as a series of spiritual “experiments” and explains how he developed his concept of active nonviolent resistance, which propelled the Indian struggle for independence and inspired countless other nonviolent struggles. In 1999, this book was designated as one of the “100 Most Important Spiritual Books of the 20th Century” by HarperCollins publishers.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/624188Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/624188 to listen full audiobooks.

He was also a cowboy, a soldier, a historian, an intrepid explorer, and an unsurpassed environmentalist—all in all, perhaps the most accomplished chief executive in our nation's history. Roosevelt built the Panama Canal and engaged the country in world affairs, putting a temporary end to American isolationism. He also won the Nobel Peace Prize, the only sitting president so honored.

Title: Edmund Burke: A Genius Reconsidered Author: Russell Kirk Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 7 minutes Release date: January 1, 2007 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In this, the liveliest and most accessible one-volume life of Edmund Burke, Russell Kirk has ingeniously combined the public and the private man into a living whole. He lucidly unfolds Burke's philosophy and offers a fresh assessment of Burke, a statesman enjoying even greater influence today than in his own time. Kirk defines four great struggles in the life of Burke: his work for conciliation with the American colonies; his involvement in cutting down the domestic power of George III; his prosecution of Warren Hastings, the governor general of India; and his resistance to Jacobinism, the French Revolution's 'armed doctrine.' In each of these great phases of his public life, Burke fought with passionate eloquence and relentless logic for his ideals of justice, ideals that continue to appeal today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/601353Mon, 01 Jan 2007 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/601353 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid: A Faithful and Interesting Narrative Author: Pat F. Garrett Narrator: Daniel Luna Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 30 minutes Release date: January 1, 2006 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Of all firsthand accounts of lawlessness in the old Southwest, none is more fascinating than Pat F. Garrett's The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid. It was first published in 1882, a year after Sheriff Garrett killed the Kid, 'the bravest and most feared' gunman of the cattle war in Lincoln County, New Mexico. This book is at once the most authoritative biography of William H. Bonney and the foundation of the Billy the Kid legend. Reputed to have killed his first man at the age of twelve, William Bonney went on to gun his way into Western legend as Billy the Kid. When he was killed at the age of twenty-one, the Kid was famous throughout the country as the boy who, so he boasted, had killed a man for every year of his life. This is the story of William Bonney as told by the lawman who ended his notorious career. While explaining the public sympathy that people often accorded Bonney, Garrett challenges the glorified legends of the Kid with the genuine story of a reckless cowhand who became a hired gun. Combining the best elements of eyewitness history with the dramatic flair of a Western novel, this is the clearest account available of the career of a man some thought of as a murdering fiend and others as an American Robin Hood.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/623883Sun, 01 Jan 2006 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/623883 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Author: Benjamin Franklin Narrator: Michael Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 59 minutes Release date: January 1, 2006 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Among other things, Benjamin Franklin was a printer, philosopher, inventor, statesman, and not least, a writer. Franklin's writings span a long and distinguished career of literary, scientific, and political inquiry—the work of a man whose life lasted for nearly all of the eighteenth century and whose achievements ranged from inventing the lightning rod to publishing Poor Richard's Almanac to signing the Declaration of Independence.His autobiography captures the essence of his spirit, and in it we can see him as a product of the eighteenth-century enlightenment, a type of Yankee statesman who could use the language of Addison, Steele, Swift, and Defoe. In his autobiography, Franklin asks himself, 'Who am I, how did I come to be, and why am I a human being as I am?' and he answers with the honesty, wit, and charm that have made this possibly the most famous of all autobiographies.

But what has gone previously unexamined is Washington’s life as a twenty-two-year-old lieutenant colonel; he led four hundred American militiamen against a bigger, more experienced French army and paid a high price. Not only did Washington lose over a third of his men, but the Battle of Great Meadows was also the spark that ignited the French and Indian War. Yet in the midst of this bitter battle, Washington forged the intellectual, visceral, and spiritual aspects that enabled him to achieve all that he did in the years that followed.

He was the inspiration for Nick Nolte's character in the movieExtreme Prejudice, and he even had a speaking part of his own inThe Good Old Boyswith Tommy Lee Jones. But the role that Jackson has always played the best is that of the man who wears the silver badge cut from a Mexican cinco peso coin—a working Texas Ranger. Legend says that one Ranger is all it takes to put down lawlessness and restore the peace—one riot, one Ranger. In this adventure-filled memoir, Joaquin Jackson recalls what is was like to be the Ranger who responded when riots threatened, violence erupted, and criminals needed to be brought to justice across a wide swath of the Texas-Mexico border from 1966 to 1993.

Title: The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Vol. 1: Visions of Glory, 1874–1932 Author: William Manchester Narrator: Frederick Davidson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 41 hours 20 minutes Release date: December 12, 1990 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Winston Churchill is perhaps the most important political figure of the twentieth century. His great oratory and leadership during the Second World War were only part of his huge breadth of experience and achievement. Studying his life is a fascinating way to imbibe the history of his era and gain insight into key events that have shaped our time. In political office at the end of WWI, he foresaw the folly of Versailles and feared what a crippled Germany would do to the balance of power. In his years in the political wilderness from 1931 to 1939, he alone of all British public men continually raised his voice against Hitler and his appeasers. For over fifty years, he was constantly involved in, and usually at the center of, the most important events of his age. It was, however, his obduracy on matters of principle, his fortitude in the face of opposition, and his perseverance in standing alone that defined him. As a biographer, William Manchester is the standard by which all others are measured. And when a writer of his caliber is matched with a subject as colorful as Winston Churchill, look for results that are magisterial. This, the first in a three-volume biography, is a momentous piece of work.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/602509Wed, 12 Dec 1990 12:45:46 +0000Adan DarePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/602509 to listen full audiobooks.
