Title: Whistles from the Graveyard: My Time Behind the Camera on War, Rage, and Restless Youth in Afghanistan Author: Miles Lagoze Narrator: Miles Lagoze Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 23 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.71 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “The most bracingly honest, refreshing account of the Afghan war” (Sebastian Junger, New York Times bestselling author) from a Marine Corps Combat Cameraman and director of the acclaimed documentary Combat Obscura. At just eighteen years old, Miles Lagoze joined the Marine Corps a decade after the war began and found himself surrounded by people not unlike those he’d left behind at home—aimless youth searching for stability, community, and economic security. Deployed to Afghanistan as a Combat Cameraman—an active-duty videographer and photographer—Lagoze produced slick images of glory and heroism for public consumption. But his government-approved footage concealed a grim reality. Here, Lagoze pulls back the curtain and illustrates the grisly truth of the longest war in American history. As these young men and women were deployed to an unfamiliar country half a world away—history’s “graveyard of empires”—they carried the scars of the fractured homeland that sent them. Lagoze shows us Marines straddling the edge of chaos. We see forces desensitized to gore and suffering by the darkest reaches of the internet, unsure of their places in an unraveling world and set further adrift by the uncertain mission to which they had been assigned abroad. Whistles from the Graveyard shows the parts of the Afghanistan War we were never meant to see—Afghan locals and American infantry drawn together by their fears of the ghostly, ever-present terror of the Taliban; moments of dark resignation as the devastating toll of years in war’s crossfire reveals itself between bouts of adrenaline-laced violence; and nights of reckless, drug-fueled abandon to dull the pain. In full, vivid color, Miles Lagoze shows us an oft-overlooked generation of young Americans we cast out into the desert, steeped in nihilism, and shipped back home with firsthand training in extremism, misanthropy, and insurrection.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/633591Tue, 07 Nov 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/633591 to listen full audiobooks.

Over his 50-year career in Washington, Joe Biden has become known for his wild dishonesty, embarrassing policy failings, and an absolute lack of accountability, culminating in his predictably unpopular presidency. But what has not yet been revealed is the vast web of consultants, bureaucrats, corporate titans, foreign interests, and various extended family members (it’s not just Hunter!) who have achieved unfathomable wealth and power while keeping Biden in charge. Now, Alex Marlow reports the findings of a shocking, in-depth investigation into the individuals and entities behind the devastating decisions that have empowered the global elite at the expense of the American public. With his signature “prescient” (Tucker Carlson) writing, Marlow unearths new details such as: EXPOSED: The secret cadre of consultants running Joe Biden’s Washington. EXPLAINED: How Joe Biden sold America’s intellectual property to communist China. UNCOVERED: The unreported and audacious reason the underwhelming, under-qualified, and unpopular Kamala Harris was chosen to be vice president.

Title: The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics Author: Richard Hanania Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 15 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Richard Hanania has emerged as one of the most talked-about writers in the nation, and in this book, he puts forward a stunning new theory about the culture war that could turn our debates upside down. Richard Hanania has come out of nowhere to become one of the best-known writers in the nation in the last few years. In this book, he directs his attention to the culture war that has driven society apart and presents a stunning new theory about what is going on. In a nation nearly-evenly split between conservatives and liberals, the left dominates nearly all major institutions, including universities, the government, and corporate America. Hanania argues that this is as much a legal requirement as it is an issue of one side triumphing in the marketplace of ideas. Culture has its own independent force, but the state has, since the 1960s, been putting its thumb on the scale.  This book answers many of the puzzling questions about modern society, such as: • Why does more and more of life seem like a competition to see who is the most oppressed? • Who is really behind the sudden proliferation of woke ideas? • How did ideas that seem so intellectually bankrupt achieve hegemony over elite culture? • Which laws and regulations have helped the left rise to power everywhere? • How did workplaces come to be the main enforcers of political ideology? • When and how did Pakistanis, Samoans, and Koreans all become the same ''race'' (AAPI)?  • Why did America become so obsessed with inequalities based on race but not religion?  For those angry about wokeness and what it has done to American institutions, this book offers concrete suggestions regarding policies that can move us back to being a country that emphasizes merit, individual liberty, and color-blind governance.

Twenty-five years ago, Neil Howe and the late William Strauss dazzled the world with a provocative new theory of American history. Looking back at the last 500 years, they’d uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly eighty to one hundred years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras—or “turnings”—that always arrive in the same order and each last about twenty years. The last of these eras—the fourth turning—was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization as traumatic and transformative as the New Deal and World War II, the Civil War, or the American Revolution. Now, right on schedule, our own fourth turning has arrived. And so Neil Howe has returned with an extraordinary new prediction. What we see all around us—the polarization, the growing threat of civil conflict and global war—will culminate by the early 2030s in a climax that poses great danger and yet also holds great promise, perhaps even bringing on America’s next golden age. Every generation alive today will play a vital role in determining how this crisis is resolved, for good or ill. Illuminating, sobering, yet ultimately empowering, The Fourth Turning Is Here takes you back into history and deep into the collective personality of each living generation to make sense of our current crisis, explore how all of us will be differently affected by the political, social, and economic challenges we’ll face in the decade to come, and reveal how our country, our communities, and our families can best prepare to meet these challenges head-on.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631088Tue, 18 Jul 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631088 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: No Ordinary Assignment: A Memoir Author: Jane Ferguson Narrator: Jane Ferguson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 50 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: ''A haunting memoir of disarming honesty. . . a remarkable testament to the anguish and the beauty of foreign correspondence.”—Roger Cohen, New York Times Paris bureau chief and author of An Affirming Flame  From award-winning journalist Jane Ferguson, an unflinching memoir of ambition and war—from The Troubles to the fall of Kabul. Jane Ferguson has covered nearly every war front and humanitarian crisis of our time. She reported from Yemen as protests grew into the Arab Spring; she secured rare access to rebel-held Syria, where foreign journalists were banned, to cover its civil war. When the Taliban claimed Kabul in 2021, she was one of the last Western journalists to remain at the airport as thousands of Afghans, including some of her colleagues, struggled to evacuate. Living with sectarian violence was nothing new to Ferguson. As a child in Northern Ireland in the 1980s and ‘90s, The Troubles meant bomb threats and military checkpoints on the way to school were commonplace. Books by Dervla Murphy and Martha Gellhorn offered solace from her turbulent family, and an opportunity to study Arabic in Yemen came as a relief—and a ticket to the life in journalism she imagined. Without family wealth or connections, she began as a scrappy one-woman reporting team, a borrowed camera often her only equipment. Networks told her she had the wrong accent, the wrong appearance, not enough “bang-bang shoot-‘em-up.” Still, Ferguson threw herself into harm’s way time and again, determined to give voice to civilian experiences of war. In the face of grave violence and suffering, this seemed a small act of justice, no matter the risks. Ferguson’s bold debut chronicles her unlikely journey from bright, inquisitive child to intrepid war correspondent.

Jane Ferguson has covered nearly every war front and humanitarian crisis of our time. She reported from Yemen as protests grew into the Arab Spring; she secured rare access to rebel-held Syria, where foreign journalists were banned, to cover its civil war. When the Taliban claimed Kabul in 2021, she was one of the last Western journalists to remain at the airport as thousands of Afghans, including some of her colleagues, struggled to evacuate. Living with sectarian violence was nothing new to Ferguson. As a child in Northern Ireland in the 1980s and ‘90s, The Troubles meant bomb threats and military checkpoints on the way to school were commonplace. Books by Dervla Murphy and Martha Gellhorn offered solace from her turbulent family, and an opportunity to study Arabic in Yemen came as a relief—and a ticket to the life in journalism she imagined. Without family wealth or connections, she began as a scrappy one-woman reporting team, a borrowed camera often her only equipment. Networks told her she had the wrong accent, the wrong appearance, not enough “bang-bang shoot-‘em-up.” Still, Ferguson threw herself into harm’s way time and again, determined to give voice to civilian experiences of war. In the face of grave violence and suffering, this seemed a small act of justice, no matter the risks. Ferguson’s bold debut chronicles her unlikely journey from bright, inquisitive child to intrepid war correspondent.

Title: Rich White Men: What It Takes to Uproot the Old Boys' Club and Transform America Author: Garrett Neiman Narrator: Greg Littlefield, Robin Diangelo, Cary Hite Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 18 minutes Release date: June 20, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Robin DiAngelo, this provocative book investigates major corporate boardrooms and presents a data-driven analysis of how rich white men have preserved their monopoly on power—and what we can do to stop them.   It’s no secret that our country has a serious problem when it comes to wealth inequality – and systemic racism and patriarchy have only exacerbated the advantages of wealthy white men. Over the past three decades, America’s richest white men have only become richer, while those suffering in poverty have only gotten poorer. The divide may seem too great to bridge, but Rich White Men exposes the hidden and insidious ways that white male elites inherit, increase, and preserve their status—and, in this book, we get clear on how to uproot their monopoly on power. ​ Serial nonprofit entrepreneur Garrett Neiman’s day job is to get rich white men to donate money to good causes and organizations. In Rich White Men, Neiman brings us into corner offices of billionaires and the boardrooms of Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Stanford, Harvard, and other enclaves of silver-spooned white men to illuminate the role of rich white men in the world and how they justify inequality. He uses the analogy of compound interest to illustrate how the advantages wealthy white men inherit give them a leg up at key moments in their lives, gilding their trajectories and shutting others out. Through this rare, insider access, readers will discover new ways to persuade the elite toward progressive solutions. A hopeful polemic, the book sheds light on dark truths about inequality and the people invested in preserving it while also providing a blueprint for how America can become an equitable democracy. Rich White Men reveals that to realize America’s founding aspiration of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we must recognize, dismantle, and transform our current system into one that liberates us all – including this nation’s morally and spiritually impoverished wealthy white men.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629627Tue, 20 Jun 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629627 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites, and the Path of Political Disintegration Author: Peter Turchin Narrator: Robin Mcalpine Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: June 13, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 2 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “Peter Turchin brings science to history. Some like it and some prefer their history plain. But everyone needs to pay attention to the well-informed, convincing and terrifying analysis in this book.” —Angus Deaton, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics From the pioneering co-founder of cliodynamics, the groundbreaking new interdisciplinary science of history, a big-picture explanation for America's civil strife and its possible endgames Peter Turchin, one of the most interesting social scientists of our age, has infused the study of history with approaches and insights from other fields for more than a quarter century. End Times is the culmination of his work to understand what causes political communities to cohere and what causes them to fall apart, as applied to the current turmoil within the United States.  Back in 2010, when Nature magazine asked leading scientists to provide a ten-year forecast, Turchin used his models to predict that America was in a spiral of social disintegration that would lead to a breakdown in the political order circa 2020. The years since have proved his prediction more and more accurate, and End Times reveals why. The lessons of world history are clear, Turchin argues: When the equilibrium between ruling elites and the majority tips too far in favor of elites, political instability is all but inevitable. As income inequality surges and prosperity flows disproportionately into the hands of the elites, the common people suffer, and society-wide efforts to become an elite grow ever more frenzied. He calls this process the wealth pump; it’s a world of the damned and the saved. And since the number of such positions remains relatively fixed, the overproduction of elites inevitably leads to frustrated elite aspirants, who harness popular resentment to turn against the established order. Turchin’s models show that when this state has been reached, societies become locked in a death spiral it's very hard to exit. In America, the wealth pump has been operating full blast for two generations. As cliodynamics shows us, our current cycle of elite overproduction and popular immiseration is far along the path to violent political rupture.  That is only one possible end time, and the choice is up to us, but the hour grows late.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/630960Tue, 13 Jun 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/630960 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Revolutionary Spring: Europe Aflame and the Fight for a New World, 1848-1849 Author: Christopher Clark Narrator: Christopher Clark Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 33 hours 26 minutes Release date: June 13, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From the bestselling author of The Sleepwalkers comes an epic history of the 1848 revolutions that swept Europe, and the charismatic figures who propelled them forward, with deep resonance and frightening parallels to today. As history, the uprisings of 1848 have long been overshadowed by the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian revolutions of the early twentieth century. And yet in 1848 nearly all of Europe was aflame with conflict. Parallel political tumults spread like brush fire across the entire continent, leading to significant changes that continue to shape our world today. These battles for the future were fought with one eye kept squarely on the past: The men and women of 1848 saw the urgent challenges of their world as shaped profoundly by the past, and saw themselves as inheritors of a revolutionary tradition. Celebrated Cambridge historian Christopher Clark describes 1848 as “the particle collision chamber at the center of the European nineteenth century,” a moment when political movements and ideas—from socialism and democratic radicalism to liberalism, nationalism, corporatism, and conservatism—were tested and transformed. The insurgents asked questions that sound modern to our ears: What happens when demands for political or economic liberty conflict with demands for social rights? How do we reconcile representative and direct forms of democracy? How is capitalism connected to social inequality? The revolutions of 1848 were short-lived, but their impact on public life and political thought throughout Europe and beyond has been profound. Elegantly written, meticulously researched, and filled with a cast of charismatic figures, including the social theorist Alexis de Tocqueville and the troubled priest Félicité de Lamennais, who struggled to reconcile his faith with politics, Revolutionary Spring is a new understanding of 1848 that offers chilling parallels to our present moment. “Looking back at the revolutions from the end of the first quarter of the twenty-first century, it is impossible not to be struck by the resonances,” Clark writes. “If a revolution is coming for us, it may look something like 1848.” * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of detailed historic maps, illustrations, portraits, and works of art pertaining to the material.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631001Tue, 13 Jun 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631001 to listen full audiobooks.

While many Americans have worried about China, open borders, opioids, failing communities, and families in crisis, our elites have told us that’s all fine because it’s not only inevitable; it’s for the best. Every part of our nation is now in decline, and it’s all connected. In Decades of Decadence, Marco Rubio exposes the elites’ attacks on the four key elements of American strength: good local jobs, stable families, geographical communities, and a sovereign nation that serves as a beacon of freedom and prosperity. These have been eroded not only by globalization, but by the lies we tell ourselves, including, “Anyone who loves each other is a family,” “Real community can be found on the internet,” and “We’re all citizens of the world.” It’s not too late to reject these errors. America remains a powerful and wealthy nation, built on timeless truths ingrained in the very creation of mankind. But we cannot afford another misguided and decadent decade.

Board—will forever change how you think of the end of racial segregation in America. In graduate school, Rachel Martin was sent to a small town in the foothills of the Appalachians, where locals wanted to build a museum to commemorate the events of September 1956, when Clinton High School became the first school in the former Confederacy to attempt court mandated desegregation. But not everyone wanted to talk. As one founder of the Tennessee White Youth told her, “Honey, there was a lot of ugliness down at the school that year; best we just move on and forget it.” For years, Martin wondered what it was some white residents of Clinton didn’t want remembered. So, she went back, eventually interviewing over sixty townsfolk—including nearly a dozen of the first students to desegregate Clinton High—to piece together what happened back in 1956: the death threats and beatings, picket lines and cross burnings, neighbors turned on neighbors and preachers for the first time at a loss for words. The National Guard rushed to town, along with national journalists like Edward R. Morrow and even evangelist Billy Graham. But that wasn’t the most explosive secret Martin learned... In A Most Tolerant Little Town, Rachel Martin weaves together over a dozen perspectives in an intimate, kaleidoscopic portrait of a small town living through a turbulent turning point for America. The result is at once a “gripping” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) mystery and a moving piece of forgotten civil rights history, rendered “with precision, lucidity and, most of all, a heart inured to false hope” (The New York Times).

There were many adventures, personalities, missteps, and victories on the road from a seemingly permanent House GOP minority to the first Republican majority in 40 years. These untold stories and inspiring lessons about the rise of modern conservatism are immensely relevant today as the United States faces profound and extraordinary challenges. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich joins with former National Republican Congressional Committee Executive Director Joe Gaylord to bring alive the stories, events, and activities that led to the Contract with America and the first re-elected Republican majority since 1928. No two people are better positioned to tell this story than Gingrich and Gaylord. They were there, and they got it done.  Gingrich and Gaylord share never-before-told stories about: - Ronald Reagan - Richard Nixon - Tip O’Neill - George H.W. Bush - Bill Clinton, and other pivotal political figures March to the Majority is not only about the past, but also about the challenges our nation faces today and offers principles for governing the American people.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629607Tue, 06 Jun 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629607 to listen full audiobooks.

Africa is to be pitied, worshipped, or dominated. Whichever angle you take, be sure to leave the strong impression that without your intervention and your important book, Africa is doomed.” Binyavanga Wainaina was a pioneering voice in African literature, an award-winning memoirist and essayist remembered as one of the greatest chroniclers of contemporary African life. This groundbreaking collection brings together, for the first time, Wainaina’s pioneering writing on the African continent, including many of his most critically acclaimed pieces, such as the viral satirical sensation “How to Write About Africa.” Working fearlessly across a range of topics—from politics to international aid, cultural heritage, and redefined sexuality—he describes the modern world with sensual, emotional, and psychological detail, giving us a full-color view of his home country and continent.

To some extent it did—but it has also demolished the traditions and institutions that nourished ordinary people and created a new and exploitative ruling class. This class’s economic libertarianism, progressive values, and technocratic commitments have led them to rule for the benefit of the “few” at the expense of the “many,” precipitating our current political crises.   In Regime Change, Patrick Deneen proposes a bold plan for replacing the liberal elite and the ideology that created and empowered them. Grass-roots populist efforts to destroy the ruling class altogether are naive; what’s needed is the strategic formation of a new elite devoted to a “pre-postmodern conservatism” and aligned with the interest of the “many.” Their top-down efforts to form a new governing philosophy, ethos, and class could transform our broken regime from one that serves only the so-called meritocrats.   Drawing on the oldest lessons of the western tradition but recognizing the changed conditions that arise in liberal modernity, Deneen offers a roadmap for these changes, offering hope for progress after “progress” and liberty after liberalism.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/630939Tue, 06 Jun 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/630939 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Love Across Borders: Passports, Papers, and Romance in a Divided World Author: Anna Lekas Miller Narrator: Anna Lekas Miller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 27 minutes Release date: June 6, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: With deep empathy, rigorous reporting, and the irresistible perspective of a true romantic, journalist Anna Lekas Miller spotlights couples around the world who confront frustrating immigration systems to be together—as she did to be with her husband. ​ We are told that love conquers all, but what happens when you don’t have the right passport? Love  Across  Borders  takes  readers  through  contentious  frontiers  around  the  world,  from Turkey to Iraq, Syria to Greece, Mexico to the United States, to reveal the wide-spread  prejudicial  laws  intent  on  dividing  us.  Lekas  Miller  tells  her  own  gripping  story  of  meeting  Salem  Rizk,  in  Istanbul,  where  they were  both  reporting  on  the  Syrian  civil war. But when Turkey started cracking down on refugees, Salem, who is Syrian, wasn’t allowed to stay there, nor could he safely return to Syria. He was a man without a country. So Lekas Miller had to decide her next move: she had an American passport but deep personal ties to the Middle East, and she knew it was unfair that Salem couldn’t travel freely the way she could. More important, she loved him.  Over  the  next  few  years,  as  they  navigated  Salem’s  asylum  claims,  the  United  States’  Muslim  ban,  and  labyrinthine  regulations  in  several  different countries,  Lekas  Miller learned about—and naturally bonded with—other people whose spouses had been deported,  who  found  love  in  refugee  camps, whose  differing  immigration  statuses  caused  complicated  power  dynamics  and  financial  hardship  in  their  relationships  or  threatened  the  wellbeing  of their  children.  Here,  offering  a  uniquely  diverse,  international, and intimate look at the global immigration crisis, she collects and interweaves these  rich  love stories  with  a  fascinating  look  at  the  history  of  passports  (a  shockingly  recent institution), the legacy of colonialism, and the discriminatory laws shaping how people move through the world every day.   Ultimately, she builds a powerful, moving case for a borderless society—one where she and Salem could move freely to be near family or back to the city that first let them fall in love, and where a border patrol agent can’t keep anyone’s love story from its happy ending.  “A book designed to change minds and hearts.

Ghodsee Narrator: Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 48 minutes Release date: May 16, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A “fascinating” (The Wall Street Journal), “spirited and inspiring” (Jacobin) tour through the ages in search of the thinkers and communities that have dared to reimagine how we might better live our daily lives. In the 6th century BCE, the Greek philosopher Pythagoras—a man remembered today more for his theorem about right-angled triangles than for his progressive politics—founded a commune in a seaside village in what’s now southern Italy. The men and women there shared their property, lived as equals, and dedicated themselves to the study of mathematics and the mysteries of the universe. Ever since, humans have been dreaming up better ways to organize how we live together, pool our resources, raise our children, and determine who’s part of our families. Some of these experiments burned brightly for only a brief while, but others carry on today: from the Danish cohousing communities that share chores and deepen neighborly bonds, to matriarchal Colombian ecovillages where residents grow their own food; and from Connecticut, where new laws make it easier for extra “alloparents” to help raise children not their own, to China where planned microdistricts ensure everything a busy household might need is nearby. One of those startlingly rare books that upends what you think is possible, Everyday Utopia provides a “powerful reminder that dreaming of better worlds is not just some fantastical project, but also a political one” (Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad).

What followed were two investigations of Scurlock’s death, one conducted by the white county attorney Don Kleine, who concluded that Gardner had legally acted in self-defense and released him without a trial, and a second grand jury inquiry conducted by Black special prosecutor Fred Franklin that indicted Gardner for manslaughter. Days after the indictment, Gardner killed himself with a single bullet to the head. The deaths of both Scurlock and Gardner gave rise to a toxic brew of misinformation, false claims, and competing political agendas. The two men, each with their own complicated backgrounds, were turned into caricatures. The twin tragedies amounted to an ugly and heartbreaking reflection of a painfully divided country.

Timothy McVeigh wanted to start a movement. Speaking to his lawyers days after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Gulf War veteran expressed no regrets: killing 168 people was his patriotic duty. He cited the Declaration of Independence from memory: “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” He had obsessively followed the siege of Waco and seethed at the imposition of President Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban. A self-proclaimed white separatist, he abhorred immigration and wanted women to return to traditional roles. As he watched the industrial decline of his native Buffalo, McVeigh longed for when America was great. New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin traces the dramatic history and profound legacy of Timothy McVeigh, who once declared, “I believe there is an army out there, ready to rise up, even though I never found it.” But that doesn’t mean his army wasn’t there. With news-breaking reportage, Toobin details how McVeigh’s principles and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death in 2001, reaching an apotheosis on January 6 when hundreds of rioters stormed the Capitol. Based on nearly a million previously unreleased tapes, photographs, and documents, including detailed communications between McVeigh and his lawyers, as well as interviews with such key figures as Bill Clinton, Homegrown reveals how the story of Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing is not only a powerful retelling of one of the great outrages of our time, but a warning for our future.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631044Tue, 02 May 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631044 to listen full audiobooks.

New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin traces the dramatic history and profound legacy of Timothy McVeigh, who once declared, “I believe there is an army out there, ready to rise up, even though I never found it.” But that doesn’t mean his army wasn’t there. With news-breaking reportage, Toobin details how McVeigh’s principles and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death in 2001, reaching an apotheosis on January 6 when hundreds of rioters stormed the Capitol. Based on nearly a million previously unreleased tapes, photographs, and documents, including detailed communications between McVeigh and his lawyers, as well as interviews with such key figures as Bill Clinton, Homegrown reveals how the story of Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing is not only a powerful retelling of one of the great outrages of our time, but a warning for our future.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-future-of-geography-how-power-and-politics-in-space-will-change-our-world-by-tim-marshall--65205973https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626754 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Survivor: How I Survived Six Concentration Camps and Became a Nazi Hunter Author: Josef Lewkowicz, Michael Calvin Narrator: Laurence Dobiesz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 22 minutes Release date: March 30, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. One of the last great untold stories of the Holocaust, The Survivor is an astonishing account of one man's unbreakable spirit, unshakeable faith, and extraordinary courage in the face of evil. At only sixteen years old, Josef Lewkowicz became a number, prisoner 85314. Following the Nazi invasion of Poland, he and his father were separated from their family and herded to the Kraków-Plaszów concentration camp. Forced to carry out hard labour in brutal conditions, and to live under the constant threat of extreme violence and sudden death, before the war was over Josef would witness the unique horrors of six of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Ebensee. From salt mines to forced marches, summary executions to Amstetten, where prisoners were used as human shields in Allied bombing, Josef lived under the spectre of death for many years. When he was liberated from Ebensee at the end of the war, conditions were amongst the worst witnessed by allied forces. With his freedom, Josef returned home to find that he was the only one left alive in an extended family of 150. Compelled by the need to do something to avenge that loss, he joined the Jewish police while still in a displaced persons' camp, and was recruited as an intelligence officer for the US Army who gave him a team to search for Nazis in hiding. Whilst rounding up SS leaders, he played a critical role in identifying and bringing to justice his greatest tormentor, the Butcher of Plaszow, Amon Göth, played by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. He then committed his life to helping the orphaned children of the Holocaust rebuild their lives. The Survivor is Josef's extraordinary testimony. ©2023 Josef Lewkowicz & Michael Calvin (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626721Thu, 30 Mar 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626721 to listen full audiobooks.

The conflict is coming, a former Marine intelligence officer shows, and we’re not ready. But it’s not too late to prepare. Communist China is ambitious. It wants to replace the United States as the world’s leading superpower. And it is well on its way. It is dominant in the world economy. It is a master at intellectual property theft. It shows strategic genius at cornering essential markets. It has been staggeringly successful in buying influence among American elites. And its military buildup is astonishing. So far, China has been waging a cold war on the United States and its Asian allies. But, emboldened by American weakness and decline, that cold war is about to turn hot. The flashpoint will be Taiwan—but the war will extend over the entire Pacific Theatre. The results could be devastating. America is facing the possibility of humiliating regional retreat—one with almost unimaginable costs to our economy and security.

Imbued with tenderness for her family and a critical view of the challenges facing French North African immigrants, Kaoutar Harchi’s probing account illustrates the deeply personal effects of political issues. Mixed with happy memories of her childhood home in eastern France are ever-present reminders of the dangers from which her parents sought to shield her. When they transfer her to a private, Catholic middle school—out of fear of Arab boys from their working-class neighborhood—Kaoutar grows increasingly conscious of her differences, and her conflicted sense of self. Notable events in her teens—the passing of a law in 2004 banning religious symbols from public schools; the 2005 deaths of Bouna Traoré and Zyed Benna, which sparked riots against police brutality—underscore the injustice of a society that sees Muslims not as equals but as a problem to solve.

She explores how and why the issue became a bitter partisan fight in the first place, tracking the controversial history—and politics—of court diversification. Drawing on polls, political experiments, surveys and one-on-one interviews, Scherer illuminates the complicated relationship between diversity and court legitimacy. She shows us how diverse representation can positively impact perceptions of the court among women and racial minorities, while having a negative impact on the perceptions among white people and men.

For decades, a few numbers came to define Chinese politics—until those numbers did not count what mattered and what they counted did not measure up. Seeking Truth and Hiding Facts argues that the Chinese government adopted a system of limited, quantified vision in order to survive the disasters unleashed by Mao Zedong's ideological leadership. Jeremy Wallace explains how that system worked and analyzes how the problems that accumulated in its blind spots led Xi Jinping to take drastic action. Xi's neopolitical turn—aggressive anti-corruption campaigns, reassertion of party authority, and personalization of power—is an attempt fix the problems of the prior system, as well as a hedge against an inability to do so. The book argues that while of course dictators stay in power through coercion and cooptation, they also do so by convincing their populations and themselves of their right to rule.

Title: People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account Author: Mark Pomerantz Narrator: Mark Pomerantz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 16 minutes Release date: February 7, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: People vs. Donald Trump is a fascinating inside account of the attempt to prosecute former president Donald Trump, written by one of the lawyers who worked on the case and resigned in protest when Manhattan’s district attorney refused to act. Mark Pomerantz was a retired lawyer living a calm suburban life when he accepted an unexpected offer to join the staff of the district attorney of New York County in February 2021 to work on the investigation of former president Donald Trump. The Manhattan DA was interested in Pomerantz because he brought vast experience in litigating white collar and organized crime cases, having worked as a federal prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney for decades. Pomerantz had prosecuted and defended cases involving murder, drug trafficking, political corruption, tax evasion, and financial fraud. His clients had included governors and senators, business leaders, financial institutions, and also gangsters and murderers. Over the next year, Pomerantz investigated the world of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. He interviewed potential witnesses, scrutinized financial records, and learned everything he could about Trump’s business practices. The investigation led him to believe that the former president’s approach to business had much in common with the business practices of another well-known public figure—former mob boss John J. Gotti. Ultimately, Pomerantz gathered enough evidence to support the view—held by many of his colleagues on the case, including former Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.—that former president Donald Trump should be indicted for a number of financial crimes. But that indictment never happened. This book explains why. Pomerantz’s work ultimately led to the indictment of the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, who pleaded guilty to tax fraud. But that indictment was merely the prelude to a larger criminal case that Pomerantz urged the Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, to bring against Donald Trump. When the DA refused to authorize that prosecution, Pomerantz and his colleague Carey Dunne resigned. Aspects of the case Pomerantz wanted to bring are currently being pursued against Trump by the attorney general of New York State in a civil fraud case that does not involve criminal penalties. In People vs. Donald Trump, Pomerantz tells the story of his unprecedented investigation, why he believes Donald Trump should be prosecuted, and what we can learn about the nature of justice in America from this extraordinary case. Pomerantz draws from a lifetime of legal experience to tell a devastating and frequently entertaining story of how prosecutors think, how criminals act, and how our justice system works—and sometimes doesn’t work. Pomerantz has written a cautionary tale that illuminates the challenges of prosecuting Donald Trump, why Trump manages to dance between the raindrops of accountability, and how others might bring him to justice.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626756Tue, 07 Feb 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626756 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Healing Justice Lineages: Dreaming at the Crossroads of Liberation, Collective Care, and Safety Author: Erica Woodland, Cara Page Narrator: Sanya Simmons Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A profound offering and call to action—collective stories, testimonials, and incantations for renewing political and spiritual liberation grounded in Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Queer and Trans healing justice lineages We reclaim the power, resilience, and innovation of our ancestors through this book. To embody their wisdom across centuries and generations is to continue their legacy of liberation and healing. In this anthology, Black Queer Feminist editors Cara Page and Erica Woodland guide readers through the history, legacies, and liberatory practices of healing justice—a political strategy of collective care and safety that intervenes on generational trauma from systemic violence and oppression. They call forth the ancestral medicines and healing practices that have sustained communities who have survived genocide and oppression, while radically imagining what comes next. Anti-capitalist, Black feminist, and abolitionist, Healing Justice Lineages is a profound and urgent call to embrace community and survivor-led care strategies as models that push beyond commodified self-care, the policing of the medical industrial complex, and the surveillance of the public health system. Centering disability, reproductive, environmental, and transformative justice and harm reduction, this collection elevates and archives an ongoing tradition of liberation and survival—one that has been largely left out of our history books, but continues to this day. In the first section, “Past: Reckoning with Roots and Lineage,” Page and Woodland remember and reclaim generations-long healing justice and community care work, asking critical questions like: How did our ancestors transform trauma and violence in their liberation work? What were our ancestors reckoning with—and what did they imagine? The next sections, “Origins of Healing Justice” and “Alchemy: Theory + Praxis,” explore regional stories of healing justice in response to the current political and cultural landscape. The last section, “Political + Spiritual Imperatives for the Future,” imagines a future rooted in lessons of the past; addresses the ways healing justice is being co-opted and commodified; and uplifts emergent work that’s building infrastructure for care, safety, healing, and political liberation.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629205Tue, 07 Feb 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629205 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Healing Justice Lineages: Dreaming at the Crossroads of Liberation, Collective Care, and Safety Author: Erica Woodland, Cara Page Narrator: Sanya Simmons Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 47 minutes Release date: February 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A profound offering and call to action—collective stories, testimonials, and incantations for renewing political and spiritual liberation grounded in Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Queer and Trans healing justice lineages We reclaim the power, resilience, and innovation of our ancestors through this book. To embody their wisdom across centuries and generations is to continue their legacy of liberation and healing. In this anthology, Black Queer Feminist editors Cara Page and Erica Woodland guide readers through the history, legacies, and liberatory practices of healing justice—a political strategy of collective care and safety that intervenes on generational trauma from systemic violence and oppression. They call forth the ancestral medicines and healing practices that have sustained communities who have survived genocide and oppression, while radically imagining what comes next. Anti-capitalist, Black feminist, and abolitionist, Healing Justice Lineages is a profound and urgent call to embrace community and survivor-led care strategies as models that push beyond commodified self-care, the policing of the medical industrial complex, and the surveillance of the public health system. Centering disability, reproductive, environmental, and transformative justice and harm reduction, this collection elevates and archives an ongoing tradition of liberation and survival—one that has been largely left out of our history books, but continues to this day.

Title: Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology Author: Richard Wolin Narrator: Paul Brion Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 22 minutes Release date: January 31, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: What does it mean when a radical understanding of National Socialism is inextricably embedded in the work of the twentieth century's most important philosopher? Martin Heidegger's sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movement's philosophical preceptor, 'to lead the leader.' Yet for years, Heidegger's defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines. They argued, in effect, that he was good at philosophy but bad at politics. But with the 2014 publication of Heidegger's Black Notebooks, it has become clear that he embraced a far more radical vision of the conservative revolution than previously suspected. His dissatisfaction with National Socialism, it turns out, was mainly that it did not go far enough. The notebooks show that far from being separated from Nazism, Heidegger's philosophy was suffused with it. In this book, Richard Wolin explores what the notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas—and why his legacy remains radically compromised.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625229Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625229 to listen full audiobooks.

This edition includes an exclusive breakdown of the coup conspiracy, based on Melber’s reporting and real-time coverage, highlighting the multi-pronged plot against democracy. Only the authoritative House committee report can capture the full range of plots that have been exposed over time, from the violent attack on January 6 to related efforts revealed months after the insurrection.  This definitive edition features:  • New independent analysis of the coup conspiracy by MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber • The historic, official text of the House Committee report on the insurrection, including the full Executive Summary with endnotes and all chapter endnotes.  • The definitive accounting of Donald Trump’s efforts to end American democracy   This is the only edition of the report featuring an additional, original analysis of the coup by a journalist and lawyer at the center of the action -- Melber has interviewed top members of this Committee, Jan. 6 rally planners and other cooperating witnesses, and Trump White House veterans ranging from Steve Bannon to Peter Navarro (now indicted for defying this probe). His report documents how Trump’s plots comprise a continuous coup conspiracy -- not a “riot” that exploded in a “single day” -- and why that factual prism is vital for accountability, justice, and preventing the next coup attempt. In chilling detail, he shows how that process might have engineered a technical effort to “override” the election on the floor of Congress—an essential map, and warning, for those who wish to protect democracy. If warnings are ignored and there is no accountability for the plotters at the top, a failed coup may become a training exercise. This report is not only a vital document in modern American history, it can also inform efforts to protect the future of American democracy. As a matter of justice, bipartisanship, and even patriotism, this report will become essential reading for any American determined to defend our democracy.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/632482Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/632482 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Absolutely Indispensable Man: Ralph Bunche, the United Nations, and the Fight to End Empire Author: Kal Raustiala Narrator: Leon Nixon, Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 58 minutes Release date: January 31, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A legendary diplomat, scholar, and civil rights leader, Ralph Bunche was one of the most prominent Black Americans of the twentieth century. The first African American to obtain a political science Ph.D. from Harvard and a celebrated diplomat at the United Nations, he was once so famous he handed out the Best Picture award at the Oscars. Yet today Ralph Bunche is largely forgotten.In The Absolutely Indispensable Man, Kal Raustiala restores Bunche to his rightful place in history. He shows that Bunche was not only a singular figure in midcentury America; he was also one of the key architects of the postwar international order. Raustiala tells the story of Bunche’s dramatic life, from his early years in prewar Los Angeles to UCLA, Harvard, the State Department, and the heights of global diplomacy at the United Nations. After narrowly avoiding assassination, Bunche received the Nobel Peace Prize for his ground-breaking mediation of the first Arab-Israeli conflict, catapulting him to popular fame. A central player in some of the most dramatic crises of the Cold War, he pioneered conflict management and peacekeeping at the UN. But as Raustiala argues, his most enduring achievement was his work to dismantle European empire. Bunche perceptively saw colonialism as the central issue of the 20th century and decolonization as a project of global racial justice.From marching with Martin Luther King to advising presidents and prime ministers, Ralph Bunche shaped our world in lasting ways. This definitivebiography gives him his due. It also reminds us that postwar decolonization not only fundamentally transformed world politics, but also powerfully intersected with America’s own civil rights struggle.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/630139Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/630139 to listen full audiobooks.

Strategically located in the heart of Central Asia, sandwiched between Vladimir Putin's Russia, its former colonial ruler, and Xi Jinping's China, this vast oil-rich state is carving out its place in the world as it contends with its own complex past and present. Journalist Joanna Lillis paints a vibrant picture of this emerging nation through vivid reportage based on seventeen years of on-the-ground coverage, and travels across the length and breadth of this enigmatic country that lies along the ancient Silk Road and at the geopolitical and cultural crossroads where East meets West.

This new edition features two additional chapters covering the aftermath of Nazarbayev's fall from power in 2019; the Chinese government's repressions against the Kazakhs of Xinjiang as part of its crackdown on Muslim minorities; and an afterword reflecting on the tumultuous events of January 2022 in Almaty.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637348Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637348 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Race in the Crucible of War: African American Servicemen and the War in Vietnam Author: Gerald F. Goodwin Narrator: William Andrew Quinn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 40 minutes Release date: January 27, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: When African American servicemen went to fight in the Vietnam War, discrimination and prejudice followed them. Even in a faraway country, their military experiences were shaped by the racial environment of the home front. War is often viewed as a crucible that can transform society, but American race relations proved remarkably durable. In Race in the Crucible of War, Gerald F. Goodwin examines how Black servicemen experienced and interpreted racial issues during their time in Vietnam. Drawing on more than fifty new oral interviews and significant archival research, as well as newspapers, periodicals, memoirs, and documentaries, Goodwin reveals that for many African Americans the front line and the home front were two sides of the same coin.

Title: The Architecture of Disability: Buildings, Cities, and Landscapes beyond Access Author: David Gissen Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 32 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but The Architecture of Disability calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment. With its provocative proposal for 'the construction of disability,' this book fundamentally reconsiders how we conceive of and experience disability in our world. Stressing the connection between architectural form and the capacities of the human body, David Gissen demonstrates how disability haunts the history and practice of architecture. Examining various historic sites, landscape designs, and urban spaces, he deconstructs the prevailing functionalist approach to accommodating disabled people in architecture and instead asserts that physical capacity is essential to the conception of all designed space. By recontextualizing the history of architecture through the discourse of disability, Gissen presents a unique challenge to current modes of architectural practice, theory, and education. Envisioning an architectural design that fully integrates disabled persons into its production, it advocates for looking beyond traditional notions of accessibility and shows how certain incapacities can offer us the means to positively reimagine the roots of architecture.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626618Tue, 24 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626618 to listen full audiobooks.

That’s the question posed by award-winning, bestselling author, and professional firearms instructor Larry Correia. Bringing with him the practical experience that comes from having owned a high-end gun store—catering largely to law enforcement—and as a competitive shooter and self-defense trainer, Correia blasts apart the emotion-laden, logic-free rhetoric of the gun-control fanatics who turn every “mass shooting” into a crazed call for violating your rights, abusing the Constitution—and doing absolutely nothing to really fight crime. In his essential new book, In Defense of the Second Amendment, Correia reveals: Why “gun-free” zones are more dangerous for law-abiding citizens, How the Second Amendment does indeed include your right to own an AR-15—and why that’s not an “outdated” concept, Why “red flag” laws don’t work, can be easily abused, and ignore a much more commonsensical approach to keeping guns out of the wrong hands, The insanity of “criminal justice reform” that frees dangerous criminals and “gun reform” that penalizes your right to self-defense, and How we can return to a society that has a safe and healthy relationship with guns—as we had for most of our history. Correia’s promise: “Believe me, I’ve heard every argument relating to gun control possible. I can show you how to defend your rights.” Urgent, informed, with vitally important information for whoever who owns a gun or is thinking about owning a gun or who cares about the preservation of our constitutional rights, In Defense of the Second Amendment is a landmark book of enduring importance.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631275Tue, 24 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/631275 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The United States vs. China: The Quest for Global Economic Leadership Author: C. Fred Bergsten Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 13 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: After leading the world economy for a century, the United States faces the first real challenge to its supremacy in the rise of China. Is economic—or broader—conflict, well beyond the trade and technology war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers? Will their clash produce a new economic leadership vacuum akin to the 1930s, when Great Britain was unable to play its traditional leadership role and a rising United States was unwilling to step in to save the global order? In this sweeping and authoritative analysis of the competition for global economic leadership between China and the United States, C.

Title: The United States vs. China: The Quest for Global Economic Leadership Author: C. Fred Bergsten Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 13 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: After leading the world economy for a century, the United States faces the first real challenge to its supremacy in the rise of China. Is economic—or broader—conflict, well beyond the trade and technology war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers? Will their clash produce a new economic leadership vacuum akin to the 1930s, when Great Britain was unable to play its traditional leadership role and a rising United States was unwilling to step in to save the global order? In this sweeping and authoritative analysis of the competition for global economic leadership between China and the United States, C. Fred Bergsten warns of the disastrous consequences of hostile confrontation between these two superpowers. He paints a frightening picture of a world economy adopting Chinese characteristics, in which the United States, after Trump abdicated much of its role, engages in a self-defeating attempt to “decouple” from its rival.

Title: The Black Boom Author: Jason L. Riley Narrator: Amir Abdullah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 50 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Economic inequality continues to be one of the most hotly debated topics in America, but there has been relatively little discussion of the fact that black-white gaps in joblessness, income, poverty, and other measures were shrinking prior to the pandemic. Why was it happening, and why did this phenomenon go unacknowledged by so much of the media? In The Black Boom, Jason L. Riley—acclaimed Wall Street Journal columnist and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute—digs into the data and concludes that the economic lives of black people improved significantly under policies put into place during the Trump administration. Less inequality is something that everyone wants, but disapproval of Trump's personality and methods too often skewed the media's appraisal of effective policies advocated by his administration. If we want to make real progress in improving the lives of low-income minorities, says Riley, we must look beyond our partisan differences at what works and keep doing it. Unfortunately, many press outlets were unable or unwilling to do that.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/636178Tue, 24 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/636178 to listen full audiobooks.

From the middle ages to the present, the law of defamation has worked to cover up misbehaviour by the rich and powerful, whose legal mercenaries intimidate investigative journalists. Now a new terror has been added through misguided judicial development of the laws of privacy, breach of confidence and data protection, to suppress the reporting of truths of public importance to tell. Drawing upon the author’s unparalleled experience of defending journalists and editors in English and Commonwealth courtrooms over the past half-century, the book describes the hidden world of lawfare, in which authors struggle against unfair rules that put them always on the defensive and against a costs burden that runs to millions. Law schools do not teach freedom of speech and judges in the Supreme Court do not understand it.

In News and Democratic Citizens in the Mobile Era, Johanna Dunaway and Kathleen Searles demonstrate the effects of mobile devices on news attention, engagement, and recall, and identify a key cognitive mechanism underlying these effects: cognitive effort. They advance a theory that is both old and new: the costs of information-seeking curb participatory behaviors unless the benefits outweigh them. For news consumers in the mobile era, for example, mobile devices increase the time, economic, and cognitive costs associated with information-seeking. Only for a small few do the benefits of attending to the news on mobile devices outweigh the costs. Dunaway and Searles argue that attention, engagement, and recall suffer when people consume news on mobile devices. They then investigate the implications of these effects for the news industry and for an informed democratic citizenry. Drawing on both laboratory and real-world studies, Dunaway and Searles bring the psychophysiology of news consumption to bear on the question of what we could lose in an information environment characterized by a dramatic shift in reliance on mobile devices.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/634445Tue, 17 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/634445 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: FDR's Gambit: The Court Packing Fight and the Rise of Legal Liberalism Author: Laura Kalman Narrator: Rebecca Gallagher Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 35 minutes Release date: January 17, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In the past few years, liberals concerned about the prospect of long-term conservative dominance of the federal courts have revived an idea that crashed and burned in the 1930s: court packing. Today's court packing advocates have run into a wall of opposition, with most citing the 1930s episode as one FDR's greatest failures. In early 1937, Roosevelt-fresh off a landslide victory-stunned the country when he proposed a plan to expand the size of the court by up to six justices. Today, that scheme is generally seen as an instance where FDR failed to read Congress and the public properly. In FDR's Gambit, legal historian Laura Kalman challenges the conventional wisdom by telling the story as it unfolded. While scholars have portrayed the Court Bill as the ill-fated brainchild of a President made overbold by victory, Kalman argues that acumen, not arrogance, accounted for Roosevelt's actions. FDR came close to getting additional justices, and the Court itself changed course. As Kalman shows, the episode suggests that proposing a change in the Court might give the justices reason to consider whether their present course is endangering the institution and its vital role in a liberal democracy. FDR's Gambit offers a novel perspective on the long-term effects of court packing.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637337Tue, 17 Jan 2023 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637337 to listen full audiobooks.

Moore Narrator: James Romick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 41 minutes Release date: January 10, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Ever since China began its ascendancy to great-power status in the 1980s, observers have focused on its growing economic, military, and diplomatic power. But in recent years, Chinese officials, businesses, and institutions have increased their visibility and influence on every major global issue. How have these newer issues changed China's relationship with the world? And, importantly, how can we prepare for a future increasingly shaped by China? In China's Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions China's role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China's economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China. In this clearly written and accessible overview, Moore examines how countries like the US must balance cooperation and competition with China in response to shared challenges. With an emphasis on opportunities as well as threats, Moore addresses not only key developments in sustainability and technology within China, but also their implications for foreign countries, companies, and other organizations.

In The Pursuit of Dominance, Christopher J. Fettweis examines the grand strategy of previous superpowers to see how they maintained, or failed to maintain, their status. Over the course of six cases, from Ancient Rome to the British Empire, he seeks guidance from the past for present US policymakers. Like the United States, the examples Fettweis uses were the world's strongest powers at particularly moments in time, and they were hoping to stay that way. Rather than focusing on those powers' rise or how they ruled, however, Fettweis looks at how they sought to maintain their power. From these cases, one paramount lesson becomes clear: Dominant powers usually survive even the most incompetent leaders. Fettweis is most interested in how these superpowers defined their interests, the grand strategies these regimes followed to maintain superiority over their rivals, and how the practice of that strategy worked.

Title: Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know Author: Bruce W. Jentleson Narrator: Peter Lerman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: December 27, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A concise, authoritative overview of a little-understood yet extremely important phenomenon in world politics: the use of economic sanctions by one country to punish another. It's hard to browse the news without seeing reports of yet another imposition of sanctions by one country on another. The United States has sanctions against more than thirty countries. Russia has repeatedly imposed sanctions against former Soviet republics. China has developed its own approach, including targeting private entities such as the NBA. And it's not just major powers: Japan and South Korea have sanctioned each other over WWII and colonial legacies; Saudi Arabia against Qatar because of differences over Iran; and France, Germany, and Norway against Brazil over the Amazon forest and climate change. In Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Bruce Jentleson—one of America's leading scholars on the subject—answers the fundamental questions about sanctions today: Why are they used so much? What are their varieties? What are the key factors affecting their success? Why have they become the tool of first resort for states engaged in international conflict? Jentleson demonstrates that examining sanctions is key to understanding international relations and explains how and why they will likely continue to bear on global politics.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637282Tue, 27 Dec 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637282 to listen full audiobooks.

Jentleson Narrator: Peter Lerman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: December 27, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A concise, authoritative overview of a little-understood yet extremely important phenomenon in world politics: the use of economic sanctions by one country to punish another. It's hard to browse the news without seeing reports of yet another imposition of sanctions by one country on another. The United States has sanctions against more than thirty countries. Russia has repeatedly imposed sanctions against former Soviet republics. China has developed its own approach, including targeting private entities such as the NBA. And it's not just major powers: Japan and South Korea have sanctioned each other over WWII and colonial legacies; Saudi Arabia against Qatar because of differences over Iran; and France, Germany, and Norway against Brazil over the Amazon forest and climate change. In Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Bruce Jentleson—one of America's leading scholars on the subject—answers the fundamental questions about sanctions today: Why are they used so much? What are their varieties? What are the key factors affecting their success? Why have they become the tool of first resort for states engaged in international conflict? Jentleson demonstrates that examining sanctions is key to understanding international relations and explains how and why they will likely continue to bear on global politics.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/on-account-of-sex-ruth-bader-ginsburg-and-the-making-of-gender-equality-law-by-philippa-strum--65205984https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629530 to listen full audiobooks. Title: On Account of Sex: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Making of Gender Equality Law Author: Philippa Strum Narrator: Lisa S. Ware Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 54 minutes Release date: December 20, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Before she became the 'Notorious R.B.G.' famous for her passionate dissents while serving as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg made her most significant contributions as a lawyer who litigated cases on gender equality before the high court in the 1970s. Beginning with Reed v. Reed (1971)—for which Ginsburg wrote her first full Supreme Court brief, and which was the first time the Court held a sex-based classification to be unconstitutional—Ginsburg became known for her work on the issue of gender equality. Ginsburg established the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU in 1972 and coedited the first law school casebook on sex discrimination as a professor at Columbia Law School. Drawing on interviews with RBG and those who knew her, as well as extensive knowledge of the cases themselves, Philippa Strum has provided a legal history of Ginsburg's landmark litigation on behalf of women's rights and gender equality. Those cases changed the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment and, along with two Supreme Court cases of the 1980s and 1990s (Mississippi v. Hogan and United States v. Virginia), remain the foundation of constitutional gender jurisprudence today. On Account of Sex shows why RBG became the rock star of the legal world and gives listeners an accessible guide to these widely forgotten but momentous decisions.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629530Tue, 20 Dec 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629530 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Women Who Invented the Sixties: Ella Baker, Jane Jacobs, Rachel Carson, and Betty Friedan Author: Steve Golin Narrator: Allyson Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 12 minutes Release date: December 20, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629550Tue, 20 Dec 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629550 to listen full audiobooks.

What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we're no longer the only major player? In The American Imperative, international development expert Daniel Runde makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power.

Title: Morgenthau: Power, Privilege, and the Rise of an American Dynasty Author: Andrew Meier Narrator: Mark Deakins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 38 hours 44 minutes Release date: December 13, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: An “epic and intimate” (David M. Kennedy) portrait of four generations of the Morgenthau family, a dynasty of power brokers and public officials with an outsize—and previously unmapped—influence extending from daily life in New York City to the shaping of the American Century “Magisterial . . . a vivid retelling of critical domestic and world events over two centuries.”—Dr. Fiona Hill After coming to America from Germany in 1866, the Morgenthaus made history in international diplomacy, in domestic politics, and in America’s criminal justice system. With unprecedented, exclusive access to family archives, award-winning journalist and biographer Andrew Meier vividly chronicles how the Morgenthaus amassed a fortune in Manhattan real estate, advised presidents, advanced the New Deal, exposed the Armenian genocide, rescued victims of the Holocaust, waged war in the Mediterranean and Pacific, and, from a foundation of private wealth, built a dynasty of public service. In the words of former mayor Ed Koch, they were “the closest we’ve got to royalty in New York City.”  Lazarus Morgenthau arrived in America dreaming of rebuilding the fortune he had lost in his homeland. He ultimately died destitute, but the family would rise again with the ascendance of Henry, who became a wealthy and powerful real estate baron. From there, the Morgenthaus went on to influence the most consequential presidency of the twentieth century, as Henry’s son Henry Jr. became FDR’s longest-serving aide, his Treasury secretary during the war, and his confidant of thirty years. Finally, there was Robert Morgenthau, a decorated World War II hero who would become the longest-tenured district attorney in the history of New York City. Known as the “DA for life,” he oversaw the most consequential and controversial prosecutions in New York of the last fifty years, from the war on the Mafia to the infamous Central Park Jogger case.  The saga of the Morgenthaus has lain half hidden in the shadows for too long. At heart a family history, Morgenthau is also an American epic, as sprawling and surprising as the country itself.  * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains images from the book.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629203Tue, 13 Dec 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629203 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Four Ages of American Foreign Policy: Weak Power, Great Power, Superpower, Hyperpower Author: Michael Mandelbaum Narrator: Lyle Blaker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 26 minutes Release date: December 6, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In The Four Ages of American Foreign Policy, Michael Mandelbaum offers a new framework for understanding the evolution of the foreign policy of the United States. He divides that evolution into four distinct periods, with each defined by the consistent increase in American power relative to other countries. His history of the four periods features engaging accounts of the major events and important personalities in the foreign policy of each era. Throughout, Mandelbaum highlights fundamental continuities in the goals of American foreign policy and in the way that policy was adopted and implemented. He portrays the United States, in its ascent, first as a weak power, from 1765 to 1865, then as a great power between 1865 and 1945, next as a superpower in the years 1945 to 1990, and finally as the world's sole hyperpower, from 1990 to 2015. He also presents three features of American foreign policy that are found in every era: first, the goal of disseminating the political ideas Americans have embraced from the first; second, the use of economic instruments in pursuit of the country's foreign policy goals; and third, a process for formulating policy and implementing decisions shaped by considerable popular influence.

In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing a tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are 'unfiltered'—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualified—and ultimately reviled—James Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society.

In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government.

Barnett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 50 minutes Release date: November 29, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Fighting for Justice exposes the cover-ups of the JFK assassination and the murders of Dorothy Kilgallen and Marilyn Monroe, while revealing for the first time the corrupt inner workings of the Warren Commission based on the firsthand 'whistleblower' account of an actual Commission member never identified before. How does an explosive 'whistleblower' account from a Warren Commission (WC) member never identified before destroy once and for all the biggest lie in American history, the 'Oswald Alone' theory? On what basis did the member admit, 'It's more than Oswald. There is internal corruption on the Commission. I do not agree with the Report'?

Barnett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 50 minutes Release date: November 29, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Fighting for Justice exposes the cover-ups of the JFK assassination and the murders of Dorothy Kilgallen and Marilyn Monroe, while revealing for the first time the corrupt inner workings of the Warren Commission based on the firsthand 'whistleblower' account of an actual Commission member never identified before. How does an explosive 'whistleblower' account from a Warren Commission (WC) member never identified before destroy once and for all the biggest lie in American history, the 'Oswald Alone' theory? On what basis did the member admit, 'It's more than Oswald. There is internal corruption on the Commission. I do not agree with the Report'? Is the 'whistleblower' the same one who surreptitiously passed Jack Ruby's WC testimony to journalist Dorothy Kilgallen prior to its release date? And how did President Lyndon Johnson and J.

Title: Hate and Reconciliation: Approaches to Fostering Relationships between People and Peace Author: Guido Cuyvers Narrator: Graham Rowat Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: November 29, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term 'Erida complex,' after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625849Tue, 29 Nov 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625849 to listen full audiobooks.

Now, in How We Win the Civil War, Phillips charts the way forward for progressives and people of color after four years of Trump, arguing that Democrats must recognize the nature of the fight we're in, which is a contest between democracy and white supremacy left unresolved after the Civil War. We will not overcome, Phillips writes, until we govern as though we are under attack—until we finally recognize that the time has come to finish the conquest of the Confederacy and all that it represents. With his trademark blend of political analysis and historical argument, Phillips lays out razor-sharp prescriptions for 2022 and beyond, from increasing voter participation and demolishing racist immigration policies to reviving the Great Society programs of the 1960s—all of them geared toward strengthening a new multiracial democracy and ridding our politics of white supremacy, once and for all.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625920Tue, 22 Nov 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625920 to listen full audiobooks.

For over four decades, she has vociferously advocated for diversity, indigenous knowledge, localization, and real democracy; she has been at the forefront of seed saving, food sovereignty, and connecting the dots between the destruction of nature, the polarization of societies, and indiscriminate corporate greed. In Terra Viva, Dr. Shiva shares her most memorable campaigns, alongside some of the world’s most celebrated activists and environmentalists, all working toward a livable planet and healthier democracies. For the very first time, she also recounts the stories of her childhood in post-partition India?the influence of the Himalayan forests she roamed; her parents, who saw no difference in the education of boys and girls at a time when this was not the norm; and the Chipko movement, whose women were “the real custodians of biodiversity-related knowledge.” Throughout, Shiva’s pursuit of a unique intellectual path marrying quantum physics with science, technology, and environmental policy will captivate listeners.

Head Held High, translated from the Marathi book Mann Mein Hai Vishwas, is an account of IPS officer Vishwas Nangre Patil's life-from his humble background, through school, college, long hours of studying for the UPSC examinations to the final selection to the IPS cadre and, eventually, his role in the counterterrorism operations during the Mumbai attacks.

In the fall of 2019 through August 2020, I interviewed President Trump 19 times for my second book on his presidency, Rage. I had also interviewed him in 2016 when he was a presidential candidate. I decided to take this unusual step of releasing these recordings after relistening in full to all 20 interviews. As I listened to them again I was stunned by their relevance to understanding Trump. Hearing Trump speak is a completely different experience to reading the transcripts or listening to snatches of interviews on television or the internet.” Bob Woodward from The Trump Tapes The Trump Tapes is the intimate and astonishing audio archive of Bob Woodward’s 20 interviews with Donald Trump. Featuring more than eight hours of Woodward/Trump conversations, The Trump Tapes is as historically important as the Frost/Nixon interviews. In this up-close, unvarnished self-portrait of Trump and his presidency, listeners will hear Trump as Woodward did: profane, incautious, divisive, and deceptive, but also engaging and entertaining, ever the host and the salesman, trying to sell his presidency to win Woodward over. Relying on familiar devices – airing grievances, stoking divisions, repeating himself to a staggering degree, as if saying something often and loud enough will make something true – Trump uses his voice as a concussive instrument, pounding in the listener’s ear. In new commentary created exclusively for The Trump Tapes, Woodward at times breaks frame from the interviews to provide essential context or clarification. But for the most part the interviews proceed uninterrupted, fulfilling Woodward’s goal of presenting Trump’s voice and words for the historical record, and offering listeners the chance to hear and judge and make their own assessments. As relevant as ever to the task of understanding Donald Trump, The Trump Tapes reveal Trump in his own words – a man consumed by the past and clinging to his grievances, unable to understand his responsibilities as president or address the crises affecting the country.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/634826Mon, 24 Oct 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/634826 to listen full audiobooks.

Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, David Cameron, George Osborne, Theresa May, Dominic Cummings, Jacob Rees-Mogg: Whitehall is swarming with old Oxonians. They debated each other in tutorials, ran against each other in student elections, and attended the same balls and black tie dinners. They aren't just colleagues - they are peers, rivals, friends. And, when they walked out of the world of student debates onto the national stage, they brought their university politics with them. Eleven of the fifteen postwar British prime ministers went to Oxford. In Chums, Simon Kuper traces how the rarefied and privileged atmosphere of this narrowest of talent pools - and the friendships and worldviews it created - shaped modern Britain. “'A searing onslaught on the smirking Oxford insinuation that politics is all just a game.

Fiel a su estilo y con un humor salvaje, Chumel Torres ofrece en este libro una reflexión sobre lo que nos distingue como mexicanos: Quiénes son nuestros héroes, por qué ya no creemos en las instituciones, a quién veneramos y por qué sentimos rencor a los gringos cuando adoptamos su cultura capitalista sin chistar.

Zijn vurige redevoeringen zitten er vol mee. Velen verklaren hem voor gek, maar in vaardige handen is het verleden een wapen zonder weerga.

Title: Pandemic Politics: The Deadly Toll of Partisanship in the Age of COVID Author: Thomas B. Pepinsky, Sara Wallace Goodman, Shana Kushner Gadarian Narrator: Katherine Fenton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 40 minutes Release date: October 11, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton explores how the politicization of the pandemic endangers our lives—and our democracy COVID-19 has killed more people than any war or public health crisis in American history, but the scale and grim human toll of the pandemic were not inevitable. Pandemic Politics examines how Donald Trump politicized COVID-19, shedding new light on how his administration tied the pandemic to the president’s political fate in an election year and chose partisanship over public health, with disastrous consequences for all of us. Health is not an inherently polarizing issue, but the Trump administration’s partisan response to COVID-19 led ordinary citizens to prioritize what was good for their “team” rather than what was good for their country. Democrats, in turn, viewed the crisis as evidence of Trump’s indifference to public well-being. At a time when solidarity and bipartisan unity were sorely needed, Americans came to see the pandemic in partisan terms, adopting behaviors and attitudes that continue to divide us today. This book draws on a wealth of new data on public opinion to show how pandemic politics has touched all aspects of our lives—from the economy to race and immigration—and puts America’s COVID-19 response in global perspective. An in-depth account of a uniquely American tragedy, Pandemic Politics reveals how the politicization of the COVID-19 pandemic has profound and troubling implications for public health and the future of democracy itself.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a fraternal cult inspired by the Order of the Assassins and modeled after Joseph Stalin’s Secret Apparatus. It’s an incubator for Islamic terrorist organizations, and it has implemented a one-hundred-year plan to destroy the West. The Muslim Brotherhood claims to be a reformist, non-violent political organization, but it is a terrorism apparatus with a political facade, which its founder Hassan al-Banna called “an industry of death.”The Secret Apparatus proves the Muslim Brotherhood’s clandestine militia—the secret apparatus—is still operational. The Brotherhood leadership’s own words, internal documents, and highest-ranking defector confirm the Brotherhood founded most modern terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.

Title: [Spanish] - Masacre en el comedor: La bomba de Montoneros en la Policía Federal. El atentado más sangriento de los 70 Author: Ceferino Reato Narrator: Ezequiel Romero Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 18 minutes Release date: October 10, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: La primera historia documentada sobre el mayor atentado contra una dependencia policial en el mundo: la voladura del comedor de la Superintendencia de Seguridad de la Policía Federal en plena dictadura y el papel de Pepe Salgado, autor material del atentado, y Rodolfo Walsh, hombre clave de la Inteligencia montonera. La bomba de Montoneros que explotó en el comedor de la Superintendencia de Seguridad Federal el 2 de julio de 1976, a cien días de instalada la dictadura militar, dejó veintitrés muertos y ciento diez heridos. Fue el atentado terrorista más sangriento de la historia argentina hasta la voladura de la AMIA y sigue siendo el mayor contra una dependencia policial en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, no ha despertado el interés de periodistas ni de historiadores; tampoco el de la Justicia, que cuarenta y cinco años después sigue sin haberlo investigado. Obra cumbre de la guerrilla, parece tratarse de una realidad incómoda para todos: contemporáneamente comportó una humillación poco digerible para la Policía y el gobierno de Videla; en perspectiva, constituye un hecho difícil de justificar para el relato hegemónico sobre los 70. Más aún a la hora de hacer nombres: si bien la bomba es colocada por un joven de clase media alta infiltrado en la institución, José María Salgado, el atentado lleva la firma del servicio de Inteligencia e Informaciones de Montoneros, cuyo hombre clave era Rodolfo Walsh. Este libro parte de la explosión y reconstruye el minuto a minuto de aquellos días, acudiendo a sus fuentes y protagonistas, desde deudos de las víctimas hasta familiares de Pepe Salgado. En ese gesto repone un capítulo interesadamente olvidado de nuestro pasado y tácitamente postula su argumento: la verdadera historia de los 70 es la historia de todas sus víctimas.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626769Mon, 10 Oct 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626769 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Portuguese] - Cegueira Deliberada: análise do elemento subjetivo do crime de lavagem de dinheiro no Brasil (um estudo a partir do acórdão da Ação Penal 470 - Escândalo do Mensalão) Author: Maria Elisabete Fonseca Sampaio Narrator: Voz Sintética Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 19 minutes Release date: October 7, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A presente obra procura consolidar o entendimento de parte da doutrina que recepciona o dolo eventual como elemento possível para a identificação do fato típico. Neste patamar de entendimento, utiliza a Teoria da Cegueira Deliberada como equivalente ao dolo eventual. Descreve as principais características do crime de lavagem de dinheiro no Brasil, fazendo uma retrospectiva histórica de sua origem, assinalando o tratamento que é dado em alguns países ocidentais, com predominância na Espanha. Faz uma abordagem comparativa entre a primeira lei específica brasileira que trata do tema com as modificações ocorridas nestes mais de vinte anos (leis nº 9.613, de 03 de março de 1998 e a lei 12.683, de 09 de julho de 2012). Enumera os bens jurídicos tutelados e esclarece os principais pontos diferenciadores entre os possíveis elementos subjetivos deste tipo penal econômico. Apresenta alguns mecanismos de defesa contra o crime de lavagem de dinheiro e a relação com os elementos identificadores do tipo. Finalmente, traz uma análise do Acórdão da Ação Penal 470 com foco exclusivo sobre a Teoria da Cegueira Deliberada e como ela foi empregada nas decisões do Supremo Tribunal Federal à época. A autora espera contribuir com esta obra como um recurso a mais para a elucidação de pontos controversos e aspectos pouco abordados pela literatura nacional no combate ao crime organizado.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/633292Fri, 07 Oct 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/633292 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Big Teal Author: Simon Holmes à Court Narrator: Simon Holmes à Court Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 14 minutes Release date: October 3, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: ‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity. The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates. Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia. This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629792Mon, 03 Oct 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/629792 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Poverty of Philosophy Author: Karl Marx Narrator: The Cliff, Cyril Taylor-Carr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 46 minutes Release date: October 1, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Marx started work on this book in January 1847, as can be judged from Engel's letter to Marx on January 15, 1847. By the beginning of April 1847, Marx's work was completed in the main and had gone to the press. On June 15, 1847, he wrote a short foreword. Published in Paris and Brussels in 1847, the book was not republished in full during Marx's lifetime. Excerpts from section five of Chapter Two appeared in different years, mostly between 1872 - 1875 in papers such as La Emancipacion, Der Volksstaat, Social-Demokrat, and others. In 1880 Marx attempted to publish the Poverty of Philosophy in the French socialist newspaper L'Égalité, the organ of the French Workers' Party, but only the foreword and section one of Chapter One were published. This translation is from the original 1847 French edition. It has been updated to also include the changes/corrections Marx made in the copy of the book he presented to N.

These theories outlined include the Marxian form of the Labour Theory of Value, which distinguishes “labor” from “labor-power”, and the Theory of Concentration of Capital, which states that capitalism tends towards the creation of monopolies and the disenfranchisement of the middle and working classes.

Por anos, as menções aos evangélicos seguiram estereótipos que nitidamente não davam conta de retratar com fidelidade um segmento tão diverso. O alinhamento político de pastores midiáticos e episódios controversos envolvendo políticos evangélicos reforçaram o preconceito contra todo um segmento. Além disso, estimativas de que a população evangélica se torne maioria no Brasil vêm gerando debates acalorados. O que se pode esperar do Brasil, caso os evangélicos venham a se tornar o grupo religioso majoritário? Em ensaio esclarecedor, Gutierres Fernandes Siqueira, jornalista e teólogo, desmistifica percepções errôneas sobre a comunidade evangélica, oferecendo exemplos históricos e fatos recentes que contextualizam a presença dos evangélicos na sociedade brasileira. Longe de manifestar uma postura acrítica em relação à igreja, Gutierres defende o direito de participação do segmento na vida da nação, com seus ônus e bônus.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627476Wed, 28 Sep 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627476 to listen full audiobooks.

Além disso, estimativas de que a população evangélica se torne maioria no Brasil vêm gerando debates acalorados. O que se pode esperar do Brasil, caso os evangélicos venham a se tornar o grupo religioso majoritário? Em ensaio esclarecedor, Gutierres Fernandes Siqueira, jornalista e teólogo, desmistifica percepções errôneas sobre a comunidade evangélica, oferecendo exemplos históricos e fatos recentes que contextualizam a presença dos evangélicos na sociedade brasileira. Longe de manifestar uma postura acrítica em relação à igreja, Gutierres defende o direito de participação do segmento na vida da nação, com seus ônus e bônus.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/broken-yard-the-fall-of-the-metropolitan-police-by-tom-harper--65205841https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637391 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Broken Yard: The Fall of the Metropolitan Police Author: Tom Harper Narrator: Anon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 36 minutes Release date: September 27, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Broken Yard is a riveting, eye-opening account of corruption, racism and mismanagement inside Britain's most famous police force. The book charts Scotland Yard's fall from a position of unparalleled power to the troubled and discredited organisation we see today, barely trusted by its Westminster masters and struggling to perform its most basic function: the protection of the public. Barely a week goes by without the Metropolitan Police Service plunging into a new crisis. Steeped in ignominy and depleted in numbers, the Met is a shadow of its former self. From the Stephen Lawrence case to the murder of Sarah Everard, Tom Harper examines the most notorious cases involving the Met over the past thirty years. The result is a devastating picture of a world-famous police force riven with corruption, misogyny and rank incompetence. As a top investigative reporter at the Sunday Times and The Independent, Tom Harper covered Scotland Yard for fifteen years, beginning not long after the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent Brazilian killed by Met police officers after being mistaken for a terror suspect in 2005. Since then, reporting on Scotland Yard has been akin to witnessing a slow-motion car crash.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637391Tue, 27 Sep 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/637391 to listen full audiobooks.

Von einem der streitbarsten Denker der Gegenwart - Noam Chomsky. Nach wie vor betrachten sich die USA grundsätzlich als die Guten - selbst dann, wenn sie das Gleiche tun wie jene, denen sie Böses unterstellen: Zivilflugzeuge abschießen, willkürlich Leute inhaftieren und mit Drohnen umbringen oder in fremde Länder einmarschieren. Das Primat der militärischen Intervention und der unerbittliche Drang, alleinige Weltmacht zu bleiben, bilden die Konstanten der amerikanischen Politik - auch wenn dadurch Staaten ins Chaos und Menschen ins Verderben getrieben werden. Im Land dagegen haben die Reichen und Mächtigen fast freie Hand, jenseits demokratischer Kontrollen und unbeachtet von einer zunehmend gleichgültigen Bevölkerung. In seiner so brillanten wie präzisen Analyse zeigt Noam Chomsky die fatalen Folgen der imperialen Politik der USA für das ohnehin immer chaotischere Zusammenleben auf unserem Planeten. In diesem Hörbuch erfahren Sie: -wer zu den prominenteren und einflussreicheren Akteuren der Weltpolitik gehört, -wohin uns die Machtpolitik der USA führt, -wie die Protagonisten dabei verfahren, -welche Folgen das für den Rest der Welt hat, -welche Möglichkeiten den 'Basisbevölkerungen' zur Verfügung stehen, um die Macht der Wirtschaft und der nationalistischen Doktrin zu überwinden. 'Die Frage, wer die Welt regiert, kann nicht eindeutig beantwortet werden. Aber die einflussreichsten Akteure sind klar auszumachen.' Noam Chomsky, geboren 1928, ist Professor emeritus am M.I.T. für Sprachwissenschaft und Philosophie. Er hat die moderne Linguistik revolutioniert und zahlreiche Bestseller über Politik verfasst. Chomsky ist einer der weltweit bekanntesten linken Intellektuellen und seit jeher ein prominenter Kritiker der amerikanischen Politik wie auch des globalen Kapitalismus.

So auch während der dramatischen Tage und Wochen nach dem 24. Februar 2022, als Wladimir Putin mit seinem grausamen Angriff auf die Ukraine den Krieg zurück nach Europa getragen hat. Angesichts der Bilder aus Mariupol, Charkiw und Kyiw ist auch Deutschland aufgewacht, nachdem es über viele Jahre Wladimir Putin verharmlost hat. Katrin Eigendorf erzählt hier vom Krieg, den Putin mit aller Härte führt, vor allem gegen die Bevölkerung. Von ihren Begegnungen mit Menschen, die von einem Tag auf den anderen alles verloren haben, von Familien, die zerrissen wurden, von Kindern, die ihre Kindheit verloren haben. Es sind Begegnungen, die immer wieder an die Schmerzgrenze gehen, auch für eine Reporterin. Katrin Eigendorf hat den Beginn dieser Entwicklung bereits 2008 in Georgien erlebt, als der Kreml seine Truppen nach Tbilissi schickte. Und 2014 in Donezk, Luhansk und Mariupol, als die russische Armee nach der Krim auch den Osten der Ukraine angriff und besetzte. Kriege, die auch in Deutschland nicht ernst genug genommen wurden. Putins Narrativ vom Krieg gegen eine faschistische Regierung in Kyiw, vom Eintreten für Russlands Sicherheit ist eine zynische Lüge. Sein Krieg zeigt überdies die ganze Schwäche eines autoritären Regimes. Ein System, das Kinder bombardiert und Menschen aushungert, das die Wahrheit nicht duldet, ist gescheitert.

Title: Graceful Simplicity Author: Jerome M. Segal Narrator: Kevin Kemp Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 32 minutes Release date: August 9, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Graceful Simplicity: The Foundations of Bread and Roses Socialism is a new audiobook prepared with an eye on the 2024 Presidential elections. The author, Jerome Segal, is challenging Joe Biden for the nomination of the Democratic Party. The audiobook is primarily the first audio of Dr. Segal’s seminal 1999 book, Graceful Simplicity: The Philosophy and Politics of Simple Living. The original book made two main contributions to the literature on simple living. First, it argued that beauty and creative expression should be counted among our basic needs, and their fulfillment part of what simple living aspires to. Secondly, it argued that simple living should be thought of as more than a life-style choice. Rather, it should animate a new politics, one which places making the option of simple living relevant to people at all parts of the income spectrum, the central goal of socio-economic policy. Concretely, this means making it possible for people on a minimum wage to meet their core needs (including beauty) on 4 or even 3 days of Job System work per week. Starting when he first ran for public office in 2018, Dr. Segal went from writing about the need for a politics of simplicity to actually pursuing one. Over time he came to use the term “Bread and Roses socialism” to characterize his political program, and came to call himself, a bread and roses socialist. The new audiobook opens with a 25 page preface that explains the transition from “graceful simplicity” to “bread and roses socialism” as well as the conceptual linkage between the two concepts. Graceful Simplicity (1999) was a Book of the Month Club selection, and was translated into Danish and Chinese.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627219Tue, 09 Aug 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627219 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Olive Branch from Palestine Author: Jerome M. Segal Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 41 minutes Release date: August 3, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Olive Branch from Palestine provides a new narrative of the Palestinian effort to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and offers a bold plan for ending this conflict today, a proposal that focuses on Palestinian agency and the power of the Palestinians to bring about the two-state solution, even in the absence of a fully committed Israeli partner. In part 1, Jerome Segal provides an analytical and historical study of the 1988 Palestinian Declaration of Independence, a remarkable act of unilateral peacemaking through which the PLO accepted the legitimacy of the 1947 Partition Resolution and thereby redefined Palestinian nationalism. In part 2, he proposes a new strategy in which, outside of negotiations, the Palestinians would advance, in full detail, the end-of-claims/end-of-conflict peace plan they are prepared to sign, one that powerfully addresses the Palestinian refugee question and is supported by the refugees themselves yet does not undermine Israel as a Jewish-majority state.

Title: Let My People Know: The Incredible Story of Middle East Peace―and What Lies Ahead Author: Aryeh Lightstone Narrator: Benjamin Isaac Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 33 minutes Release date: June 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Trump administration’s “Peace to Prosperity” vision for the Middle East was unveiled on January 28, 2020. What followed over the next eleven months was one of the most fascinating and consequential periods of US foreign policy in a generation, leading to five normalization agreements between Israel and Muslim states. The Abraham Accords achieved what had seemed impossible for decades and set the Middle East on a trajectory toward a broad regional peace. Aryeh Lightstone is uniquely positioned to tell the story. As the senior advisor to the US ambassador to Israel, he had a front-row seat on events that dramatically altered the dynamics of the Middle East. He was tasked with a complex and sensitive component of the Abraham Accords: turning them into practical action, and doing it quickly—during a pandemic, no less. In addition, he directed the Abraham Fund, led the Abraham Accords Business Summit, and served as the key contact between Israel and the other Accords nations for implementation. Let My People Know provides a behind-the-scenes account of the strategies that allowed the “Deal of the Century” to be struck, and an unvarnished look at the Middle Eastern idiosyncrasies that factored into the process. A rabbi and an enthralling storyteller, Lightstone paints a vivid picture of the varied cultures and personalities involved. He also offers a glimpse into the day-to-day activities of an embassy. Finally, he explains what the Biden administration must do better to advance America’s interests abroad. We now have a paradigm for a forward-looking Middle East policy that ultimately benefits the United States.

Title: Let My People Know: The Incredible Story of Middle East Peace―and What Lies Ahead Author: Aryeh Lightstone Narrator: Benjamin Isaac Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 33 minutes Release date: June 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Trump administration’s “Peace to Prosperity” vision for the Middle East was unveiled on January 28, 2020. What followed over the next eleven months was one of the most fascinating and consequential periods of US foreign policy in a generation, leading to five normalization agreements between Israel and Muslim states. The Abraham Accords achieved what had seemed impossible for decades and set the Middle East on a trajectory toward a broad regional peace. Aryeh Lightstone is uniquely positioned to tell the story. As the senior advisor to the US ambassador to Israel, he had a front-row seat on events that dramatically altered the dynamics of the Middle East. He was tasked with a complex and sensitive component of the Abraham Accords: turning them into practical action, and doing it quickly—during a pandemic, no less. In addition, he directed the Abraham Fund, led the Abraham Accords Business Summit, and served as the key contact between Israel and the other Accords nations for implementation. Let My People Know provides a behind-the-scenes account of the strategies that allowed the “Deal of the Century” to be struck, and an unvarnished look at the Middle Eastern idiosyncrasies that factored into the process. A rabbi and an enthralling storyteller, Lightstone paints a vivid picture of the varied cultures and personalities involved. He also offers a glimpse into the day-to-day activities of an embassy. Finally, he explains what the Biden administration must do better to advance America’s interests abroad. We now have a paradigm for a forward-looking Middle East policy that ultimately benefits the United States. Lightstone makes the case for strategic action to maintain the momentum.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/putin-s-trolls-on-the-frontlines-of-russia-s-information-war-against-the-world-by-jessikka-aro--65205966https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627203 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Putin’s Trolls: On the Frontlines of Russia’s Information War against the World Author: Jessikka Aro Narrator: Jessikka Aro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 13 minutes Release date: June 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A chilling account of Russian information warfare, Putin’s Trolls exposes the individuals and organizations behind the Kremlin’s coordinated, military-style social media operations against the West. In this courageous and unflinching book, award-winning journalist Jessikka Aro interweaves her own dramatic story as a target of Russian social media propaganda with accounts from many internationally known critics of the Kremlin, who share their own stories of being targeted by Russia’s multifaceted cyber warfare campaigns. As Aro began to investigate the impact of the Kremlin’s troll operations outside of Russia, she learned that private citizens in many other countries were being victimized by Kremlin-designed information campaigns. These actions were frequently conducted through an organized “troll factory” led by Russia’s security and intelligence apparatus, using unregulated social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. Many of the disinformation campaigns were centered around the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent occupation of the Crimean Peninsula.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627203Tue, 28 Jun 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627203 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Making Space for Justice: Social Movements, Collective Imagination, and Political Hope Author: Michele Moody-Adams Narrator: Jeanette Illidge Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From nineteenth-century abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today, progressive social movements have been at the forefront of social change. Yet it is seldom recognized that such movements have not only engaged in political action but also posed crucial philosophical questions about the meaning of justice and about how the demands of justice can be met. Michele Moody-Adams argues that anyone who is concerned with the theory or the practice of justice—or both—must ask what can be learned from social movements. Drawing on a range of compelling examples, she explores what they have shown about the nature of justice as well as what it takes to create space for justice in the world. Moody-Adams considers progressive social movements as wellsprings of moral inquiry and as agents of social change, drawing out key philosophical and practical principles. Social justice demands humane regard for others, combining compassionate concern and robust respect. Successful movements have drawn on the transformative power of imagination, strengthening the motivation to pursue justice and to create the political institutions and social policies that can sustain it by inspiring political hope. Making Space for Justice contends that the insights arising from social movements are critical to bridging the gap between discerning theory and effective practice.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627179Tue, 28 Jun 2022 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627179 to listen full audiobooks.

What do we do when we get the information, when we have digested the information, what do we do then? Is there a point where you say, yes, stop, now I shall move on.” This exhilarating collection of essays, interviews, and correspondence—spanning the years 1988 through 2018, and reaching back a decade more—is about the simple concept that ideas matter. They mutate, inform, create fuel for thought, and inspire actions. As Kelman says, the State relies on our suffocation, that we cannot hope to learn the truth. But whether we can or not is beside the point. We must grasp the nettle, we assume control and go forward.

Greenblatt, who spent nearly two decades in various senior positions at the Trump Organization—including as an Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer—and his subsequent appointment by President Trump as an Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations. Jason was also assigned the position of White House Special Envoy to the Middle East, playing a key role in the Peace to Prosperity Plan, which aimed to resolve the discord between Israel and the Palestinians, and Israel and its Arab neighbors. Thanks to these efforts, including Jason’s role in establishing the groundwork for the Abraham Accords, many Middle Eastern countries now have improved relationships with Israel, such as the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, Sudan, and the Kingdom of Morocco.

Title: [Spanish] - El cielo está incompleto: cuaderno de viaje en Palestina Author: Irmgard Emmelhainz Narrator: Daniela Arroio Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 28 minutes Release date: June 8, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: En El cielo está incompleto, Emmelhainz narra su experiencia en los Territorios Ocupados e Israel a través de reflexiones, cartas, textos experimentales, ensayos críticos, ficciones, crítica de arte, descripciones del paisaje y encuentros con amigos, discusiones intelectuales, vivencias en las que la Ocupación se hace presente (o no). Para plasmar el conflicto, la autora experimenta con varios ángulos de visión combinando historias contadas, la actualidad y la Historia escrita, historias de amor, amistad y otro tipo de vivencias personales. El objetivo de este compendio de textos es proporcionar a los lectores un dibujo de cómo se vive bajo uno de los conflictos políticos más urgentes hoy en día. Acerca de su estadía en Medio Oriente la autora dice: me reconocía viendo y escuchando, incapaz de registrar lo que estaba viviendo; buscaba distintas maneras de procesar mis percepciones. Se dice que la visión se caracteriza por ser incorpórea y violenta, la mirada por inscribir y marcar los cuerpos. ¿Con la sangre de quién se harían mis ojos? La visión se convirtió para mí en la posibilidad de ver, reconstruyendo sin cesar un punto de vista desde el cual procesar las tensiones, resonancias, transformaciones, resistencia, complicidad y dolor, frustración, sometimiento, odio, memoria y lo que los palestinos llaman la tiranía de la incertidumbre de la vida bajo la ocupación. De alguna manera, mi experiencia me hizo presente los aspectos sensoriales y corpóreos de la visión. Empecé a sentir lo que veía.

Title: [German] - Bevor es zu spät ist - Was uns droht, wenn die Politik nicht mit der Wissenschaft Schritt hält (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Karl Lauterbach Narrator: Joachim Schönfeld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: February 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Ein hochdringlicher Weckruf und ein starkes Plädoyer für eine Politik, die sich der Realität stellt. Wir leben in einer Zeit nie da gewesener Herausforderungen. Zum ersten Mal seit Beginn der Zivilisation ist sogar das Überleben der Menschen auf dem Planeten Erde gefährdet. Der sich beschleunigende Klimawandel macht das Erreichen des 1,5-Grad-Ziels mit jedem Tag unwahrscheinlicher. Kipppunkte des Klimawandels werden von der Wissenschaft warnend beschrieben und trotzdem überschritten. Doch auch bei Artenschwund, weltweitem Wassermangel oder der Gefahr noch schlimmerer Pandemien gilt: Die Fakten liegen längst auf dem Tisch. Warum schafft es die Politik nicht, die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse rechtzeitig in Handeln umzusetzen?

Title: [German] - Bevor es zu spät ist - Was uns droht, wenn die Politik nicht mit der Wissenschaft Schritt hält (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Karl Lauterbach Narrator: Joachim Schönfeld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: February 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Ein hochdringlicher Weckruf und ein starkes Plädoyer für eine Politik, die sich der Realität stellt. Wir leben in einer Zeit nie da gewesener Herausforderungen. Zum ersten Mal seit Beginn der Zivilisation ist sogar das Überleben der Menschen auf dem Planeten Erde gefährdet. Der sich beschleunigende Klimawandel macht das Erreichen des 1,5-Grad-Ziels mit jedem Tag unwahrscheinlicher. Kipppunkte des Klimawandels werden von der Wissenschaft warnend beschrieben und trotzdem überschritten. Doch auch bei Artenschwund, weltweitem Wassermangel oder der Gefahr noch schlimmerer Pandemien gilt: Die Fakten liegen längst auf dem Tisch. Warum schafft es die Politik nicht, die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse rechtzeitig in Handeln umzusetzen? Die Politik muss aufnahmefähiger für die Forschung sein, ja Schritt mit ihr halten - sonst werden wir, wie Karl Lauterbach zeigt, die Kontrolle über unsere Zukunft verlieren und scheitern. Kaum jemand könnte besser darlegen als Karl Lauterbach, Politiker und Wissenschaftler zugleich, warum eine Revolution des Zusammenspiels von Politik und Wissenschaft nötig ist; von welch unterschiedlichen Denk- und Herangehensweisen diese beiden Systeme bestimmt werden; und ob eine Verzahnung überhaupt möglich ist.

Falko Liecke arbeitet seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt als Stadtrat für die Bereiche Jugend, Gesundheit und nun Soziales. Er kämpft seit 2009 gegen die soziale Misere an, wird jedoch massiv verbal und körperlich angefeindet: von gewaltbereiten Extremisten, Clan-Mitgliedern und dem linken Milieu.

Als im Frühsommer 2019 ein Video veröffentlicht wird, das die geheimen Pläne führender österreichischer Rechtspopulisten entlarvt, stürzt die Regierung in Wien. Was sind die Hintergründe der größten politischen Krise der Nachkriegszeit? Das Video entsteht im Sommer 2017. Der FPÖ-Spitzenkandidat Heinz-Christian Strache und sein Parteifreund Johann Gudenus reisen nach Ibiza. In einer luxuriösen Villa tappen sie in eine Falle.

Title: [Spanish] - Entender la Rusia de Putin. De la humillación al restablecimiento Author: Rafael Poch-De-Feliu Narrator: Adrián Antelo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 13 minutes Release date: October 26, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: La Rusia poscomunista y el particular régimen del presidente Putin, su nacionalismo, su crítico desdén y desconfianza hacia Occidente y su cínico escepticismo hacia los valores reclamados como «occidentales», así como el considerable consenso que todo ello tiene en la sociedad rusa, no se comprenden sin atender a los años noventa, a la forma y los motivos que llevaron a la autodisolución de la URSS por sus propios dirigentes, y al rasgo central que esa década imprimió en la conciencia social y nacional de los rusos: la humillación. Aquel periodo no sólo supuso una gran y traumática depresión para millones de rusos, sino que ofreció también el medio ambiente idóneo para la reconversión social de una casta administrativa en clase propietaria. Una vez realizada esa crucial operación, en las elites rusas se planteó de nuevo la cuestión del Estado: recuperar su maltrecha función y restablecer su prestigio, tanto dentro como fuera del país. Vladimir Putin, que, si concluye su actual mandato, habrá gobernado Rusia tanto tiempo como Stalin o Brezhnev, fue el encargado de esa restauración porque reunía tres características idóneas: era una persona «de orden» leal y obediente, no corrupta, con sentido de Estado y, al mismo tiempo, desengañado de las ideologías del antiguo régimen soviético y desmarcado de cualquier tentación de poner en cuestión la turbia privatización que acabó con la nivelación soviética y convirtió a Rusia en una sociedad de grandes desigualdades. Pero todos estos sorprendentes vaivenes de la Rusia a caballo entre dos siglos se insertan también sobre un entramado histórico concreto, una impronta secular que explica no pocas inercias y regresos al régimen autocrático tradicional en Rusia desde su misma fundación como Estado. Este libro aborda todos esos aspectos y es, de alguna forma, un epílogo y un regreso a la gran crónica que el autor realizó hace quince años sobre el fin de la URSS y el nacimiento de la Rusia poscomunista, La Gran Transición (Rusia 1985-2002), que Manuel Vázquez Montalbán consideró la mejor síntesis de aquel turbulento periodo.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/638556Tue, 26 Oct 2021 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/638556 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: RENAISSANCE STATE THE UNWRITTEN STORY OF THE MAKING OF MAHARASHTRA Author: Girish Kuber Narrator: Sanket Mhatre Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 34 minutes Release date: October 21, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Maharashtra. Among the country's largest, wealthiest, most significant constituents. A great state in name and in deed that has been the cradle of individuals and events that have shaped India. Girish Kuber, a seasoned journalist and one of Maharashtra's foremost opinion makers, tells the region's story in Renaissance State. Taking in its vast sweep the politics, society and history of the land, from the time of the Satavahanas down to the present day, the book chronicles a number of lesser-known tales: the empire that brought the mighty Mughals to their knees, the woman who took the issue of consent in marital sex right up to Queen Victoria, the social reformers who were far ahead of their time, the men and women who were pioneers in different walks of life, the evolution of movements of the right and left as well as for Dalit identity, the man who mentored Gandhi and also the one who killed him, besides recounting the region's long tradition of standing up to the power centres of the north. This is the account of the making of Maharashtra and the Marathi Manoos that its proud people deserved but which had so far remained unwritten. Reviews: 'A fascinating account of Maharashtra's long and turbulent history, Girish Kuber's Renaissance State presents the key facts and faces of some 2,000 years of this great state's existence. Introducing us to mathematicians and warriors, scientific legends and political giants, Kuber's insightful and extensively researched narrative is enriched by compelling detail.' – Shashi Tharoor, author and Member of Parliament 'One of the unfortunate side effects of rabid nationalism is the loss of regional identities. Maharashtra has a magnificent history, unimpeachable traditions and a unique artistic culture that has always refused to bow before the mighty monarchs of Delhi who believed they owned it all. Freedom came. But Maharashtra is still fighting for its rightful place in Modi's new India. Girish Kuber takes a panoramic view of what makes Maharashtra so special and why its proud people have always refused to bow before Delhi – and still do. For good reason.' – Pritish Nandy, senior journalist and media personality ''Though as an individual Shivaji was a practising Hindu, he kept religion at bay when it came to his politics and social life.' For me, this is one of the most significant lines in Renaissance State, a rigorously clear-eyed study of Maharashtra's past and present.' − Shanta Gokhale, author and translator 'Sweeping through centuries of history, Renaissance State is an excellent starting point for anyone trying to understand the dynamics and dynamism of India's richest state. It also offers a window on the paradoxical intellectual currents that have shaped the Marathi Manoos. As Girish Kuber notes, Maharashtra produced both Gandhi's mentor and his murderer.' − Naresh Fernandes, editor, Scroll, and author of City Adrift: A Short Biography of Bombay 'This will be the go-to book on Maharashtra and its residents for many decades to come.' − Jerry Pinto, author of Em and the Big Hoom and Murder in Mahim]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/636063Thu, 21 Oct 2021 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/636063 to listen full audiobooks.

Taking in its vast sweep the politics, society and history of the land, from the time of the Satavahanas down to the present day, the book chronicles a number of lesser-known tales: the empire that brought the mighty Mughals to their knees, the woman who took the issue of consent in marital sex right up to Queen Victoria, the social reformers who were far ahead of their time, the men and women who were pioneers in different walks of life, the evolution of movements of the right and left as well as for Dalit identity, the man who mentored Gandhi and also the one who killed him, besides recounting the region's long tradition of standing up to the power centres of the north. This is the account of the making of Maharashtra and the Marathi Manoos that its proud people deserved but which had so far remained unwritten. Reviews: 'A fascinating account of Maharashtra's long and turbulent history, Girish Kuber's Renaissance State presents the key facts and faces of some 2,000 years of this great state's existence. Introducing us to mathematicians and warriors, scientific legends and political giants, Kuber's insightful and extensively researched narrative is enriched by compelling detail.' – Shashi Tharoor, author and Member of Parliament 'One of the unfortunate side effects of rabid nationalism is the loss of regional identities. Maharashtra has a magnificent history, unimpeachable traditions and a unique artistic culture that has always refused to bow before the mighty monarchs of Delhi who believed they owned it all. Freedom came. But Maharashtra is still fighting for its rightful place in Modi's new India. Girish Kuber takes a panoramic view of what makes Maharashtra so special and why its proud people have always refused to bow before Delhi – and still do. For good reason.' – Pritish Nandy, senior journalist and media personality ''Though as an individual Shivaji was a practising Hindu, he kept religion at bay when it came to his politics and social life.' For me, this is one of the most significant lines in Renaissance State, a rigorously clear-eyed study of Maharashtra's past and present.' − Shanta Gokhale, author and translator 'Sweeping through centuries of history, Renaissance State is an excellent starting point for anyone trying to understand the dynamics and dynamism of India's richest state. It also offers a window on the paradoxical intellectual currents that have shaped the Marathi Manoos. As Girish Kuber notes, Maharashtra produced both Gandhi's mentor and his murderer.' − Naresh Fernandes, editor, Scroll, and author of City Adrift: A Short Biography of Bombay 'This will be the go-to book on Maharashtra and its residents for many decades to come.' − Jerry Pinto, author of Em and the Big Hoom and Murder in Mahim]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/spanish-operacion-palomera-el-principio-del-fin-de-las-farc-by-pablo-navarrete-olga-behar--65205885https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/635103 to listen full audiobooks.

Al parecer, su padre, antes de morir, le encargó a su hija adoptiva que enviara unos comprometedores papeles de la Ahnenerbe, la agencia creada por Himmler para el estudio de la «herencia ancestral», a un famoso antropólogo del Vaticano. Pero tanto los papeles y el antropólogo han desaparecido.

Title: [Spanish] - El papa ario Series: #2 of Antropólogo Allan Haddon Author: Mario Escobar Narrator: Antonio Raluy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 48 minutes Release date: December 1, 2020 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 2020: Europa tiene una profunda crisis política y económica. La Unión Europea se hunde, sumida en un clima de profundos cambios políticos, ascenso de los populismo de izquierdas, el fascismo y el creciente racismo. El antropólogo Allan Haddon está en Alemania dando una serie de conferencias cuando una joven negra llamada Ruth Keer le pide ayuda. Al parecer, su padre, antes de morir, le encargó a su hija adoptiva que enviara unos comprometedores papeles de la Ahnenerbe, la agencia creada por Himmler para el estudio de la «herencia ancestral», a un famoso antropólogo del Vaticano. Pero tanto los papeles y el antropólogo han desaparecido. Allan y Ruth recorren el Viejo Continente para desenmascarar un acuerdo secreto que, además de ocultar un escándalo del Vaticano, podría echar al traste el ascenso del primer presidente de la Unión Europea y el resurgimiento del Cuarto Reich.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-first-wave-jbj-chiam-the-opposition-in-singapore-by-loke-hoe-yeong--65205828https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/636957 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The First Wave: JBJ, Chiam & the Opposition in Singapore Author: Loke Hoe Yeong Narrator: Joshua Lim Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 30 minutes Release date: May 18, 2020 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Based on extensive interviews and archival material, The First Wave tells the story of the opposition in Singapore in its critical first thirty years in Parliament. Democratisation has been described to occur in waves. The first wave of a democratic awakening in post-independence Singapore began with J. B. Jeyaretnam's victory in the Anson by-election of 1981. That built up to the 1984 general election, the first of many to be called a 'watershed', in which Chiam See Tong was also elected in Potong Pasir. After their successes in 1991, the opposition began dreaming of forming the government. But their euphoria was short-lived. Serious fault lines in the leading Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) rose to the surface almost immediately after the opposition victories of 1991, and the party was wiped out of Parliament by 1997. The opposition spent the next decade experimenting with coalition arrangements, to work their way back to victory. © 2019 by Loke Hoe Yeong.

Diversas lecturas y testimonios de quienes estuvieron cerca de ella fueron completando el cuadro de una vida única, que encierra muchas historias que vivimos los argentinos durante y después de la última dictadura militar.

Los nietos, finalmente hallados y restituidos a su verdadera familia gracias al trabajo de Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo. El robo de bebés y niños y la sustracción de su identidad fue el mayor delito cometido en el marco de la última dictadura militar en Argentina.

En muchos casos, lo hacen en público por primera vez. Y se animan a relatar su historia completa, no solo el 'final feliz' de la restitución. De vuelta a casa fue traducido al alemán en 2010 y formó parte de la evidencia presentada en el juicio por el plan sistemático de apropiación de menores, que culminó con la condena a los responsables en el año 2012.

Quien lo lea se sentirá asistiendo a una sala de cine, oirá los latidos agitados de la Medellín de comienzos de los noventa y verá desfilar a los más disímiles personajes, unidos tras un solo propósito: cazar y dar de baja a Pablo Escobar Gaviria. Escrito a mano, detrás de las rejas de una prisión federal en Miami, Estados Unidos, el libro está lleno de revelaciones tan escalofriantes como insólitas. En estas páginas veremos a un Pablo Escobar enloquecido, solitario y pobre; acorralado por los numerosos enemigos que cultivó a lo largo de su carrera delictiva. También sabremos cómo funcionó la alianza entre el Estado, la DEA y varios grupos de narcotraficantes, pero, sobre todo, subiremos al tejado donde cayó abatido El Patrón, escucharemos su último suspiro y sabremos, por fin, quién disparó las balas que terminaron con su vida.

También sabremos cómo funcionó la alianza entre el Estado, la DEA y varios grupos de narcotraficantes, pero, sobre todo, subiremos al tejado donde cayó abatido El Patrón, escucharemos su último suspiro y sabremos, por fin, quién disparó las balas que terminaron con su vida. Un libro con noticias que despertarán varios asombros y –en algunos casos– muchas preocupaciones.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/spanish-lo-que-la-guerra-se-llevo-veinte-voces-retratan-medio-siglo-de-conflicto-en-colombia-by-carolina-ardila-olga-behar-pablo-nava--65205856https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/635437 to listen full audiobooks.

The role of intellectuals in racial strife is explored in an international context that puts the American experience in a wholly new light. Intellectuals have played a major role in racial issues throughout the centuries. Though their individual views may differ, as a whole their views tend to group, and just over the course of the twentieth century, they have shifted from one end of the spectrum to the other. Surprisingly, these radically different views of race were held by intellectuals whose views on other issues were often very similar. Intellectuals and Race is not, however, a book about history, even though it has much historical evidence, as well as demographic, geographic, and economic evidence—all of it directed toward testing the underlying assumptions about race that have prevailed at times among intellectuals in general, and especially at their highest levels. Nor is this simply a theoretical exercise. Sowell’s ultimate concern is the impact of intellectual movements on the larger society, both past and present. These ideas and crusades have ranged widely from racial theories of intelligence to eugenics to “social justice” and multiculturalism. In addition to in-depth examinations of these and other issues, Intellectuals and Race explores the incentives, the visions, and the rationales that drive intellectuals at the highest levels to conclusions that have often turned out to be counterproductive and even disastrous, not only for particular racial or ethnic groups but for societies as a whole.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628835Tue, 21 May 2013 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628835 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Price of Justice: A True Story of Greed and Corruption Author: Laurence Leamer Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 23 minutes Release date: May 7, 2013 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This nonfiction legal thriller traces the fourteen-year struggle of two lawyers to bring the most powerful coal baron in American history to justice. Don Blankenship, head of Massey Energy since the early 1990s, ran an industry that provides nearly half of America's electric power. But wealth and influence weren't enough for Blankenship and his company, as they set about destroying corporate and personal rivals, challenging the Constitution, purchasing the West Virginia judiciary, and willfully disregarding safety standards in the company's mines—mines in which scores died unnecessarily. As Blankenship hobnobbed with a West Virginia Supreme Court justice in France, his company polluted the drinking water of hundreds of citizens; he himself fostered baroque vendettas against anyone who dared challenge his sovereignty over coal country. Just about the only thing that stood in the way of Blankenship's tyranny over a state and an industry was a pair of odd-couple attorneys, Dave Fawcett and Bruce Stanley, who undertook a legal quest to bring justice to this corner of America. From the backwoods courtrooms of West Virginia they pursued their case all the way to the US Supreme Court and to a dramatic decision declaring that the wealthy and powerful are not entitled to purchase their own brand of law. The Price of Justice is a story of corporate corruption so far-reaching and devastating it could have been written a hundred years ago by Ida Tarbell or Lincoln Steffens. And as Laurence Leamer demonstrates in this captivating tale, because it's true, it's scarier than fiction.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628824Tue, 07 May 2013 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628824 to listen full audiobooks.

Evangelicals dominate the halls of power, millions of its people live in poverty, and its death row is the busiest in the country. Skeptical outsiders have found much to be offended by in the state's politics and attitude, and yet, according to journalist, and Texan, Erica Grieder, the United States has a great deal to learn from Texas. In Big, Hot, Cheap, and Right, Grieder traces the political history of a state that was always larger than life. From its rowdy beginnings, Texas has combined a long-standing suspicion of government intrusion with a passion for business. Looking to the present, Grieder assesses the unique mix of policies on issues like immigration, debt, taxes, regulation, and energy, which together have sparked a bona fide Texas miracle of job growth. While acknowledging that it still has plenty of twenty-first century problems to face, she finds in Texas a model of governance whose power has been drastically underestimated.

Stockman Narrator: William Hughes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 36 hours 43 minutes Release date: April 2, 2013 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A coruscating, brilliantly insightful exegesis of where capitalism went wrong, how it was corrupted, and how it might be restored, by outspoken former Reagan budget director and bestselling author David Stockman David Stockman was the architect of the Reagan Revolution meant to restore sound money principles to the United States government. It failed, derailed by politics, special interests, welfare, and warfare. In The Great Deformation, Stockman describes how the working of free markets and democracy has long been under threat in America and provides a surprising nonpartisan catalog of the corrupters and defenders. His analysis overturns the assumptions of Keynesians and monetarists alike, showing how both liberal and neoconservative interference in markets has proved damaging and often dangerous. Over time, crony capitalism has made fools of us all, transforming Republican treasury secretaries into big-government interventionists and populist Democrat presidents into industry-wrecking internationalists. Today's national debt stands at nearly $16 trillion. Divided equally among taxpayers, each of us is $52,000 in debt.

Title: The Payoff: Why Wall Street Always Wins Author: Jeff Connaughton Narrator: Jeff Connaughton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 15 minutes Release date: February 1, 2013 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Beginning in January 2009, The Payoff lays bare Washington's culture of power and plutocracy. It's the story of the twenty-month struggle by Senator Ted Kaufman and Jeff Connaughton, his chief of staff, to hold Wall Street executives accountable for securities fraud, stop stock manipulation by high-frequency traders, and break up too-big-to-fail megabanks. This book takes us inside their dogged crusade against institutional inertia and industry influence as they encounter an outright reluctance by the Obama administration, the Justice Department, and the Securities and Exchange Commission to treat Wall Street crimes with the gravity they deserve. On financial reforms, Connaughton criticizes Democrats for relying on the very Wall Street technocrats who had failed to prevent the crisis and Republicans for staunchly opposing real reforms, primarily to enjoy a golden opportunity to siphon fundraising dollars from the Wall Street executives who had raised millions to elect Barack Obama president. Connaughton, a former lawyer in the Clinton White House, illuminates the pivotal moments and key decisions in the fight for financial reform that have gone largely unreported. His arch, nonpartisan account chronicles the reasons why Wall Street's worst offenses were left unpunished—and why it's likely that the 2008 debacle will happen again.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628778Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628778 to listen full audiobooks.

America now faces the same situation France did in 1848 and the same socialist-communist plans and ideas adopted there are now sweeping America—the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe notwithstanding.

'Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality.

Title: Hanoi’s War: An International History of the War for Peace in Vietnam Author: Lien-Hang T. Nguyen Narrator: Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 23, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: While most historians of the Vietnam War focus on the origins of US involvement and the Americanization of the conflict, Lien-Hang T. Nguyen examines the international context in which North Vietnamese leaders pursued the war and American intervention ended. This riveting narrative takes the listener from the marshy Mekong Delta swamps to the bomb-saturated Red River Delta, from the corridors of power in Hanoi and Saigon to the Nixon White House, and from the peace negotiations in Paris to high-level meetings in Beijing and Moscow, all to reveal that peace never had a chance in Vietnam. Hanoi's War renders transparent the internal workings of America's most elusive enemy during the Cold War and shows that the war fought during the peace negotiations was bloodier and much more far-reaching than thought before. Using never-before-seen archival materials from the Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as materials from other archives around the world, Nguyen explores the politics of warmaking and peacemaking not only from the North Vietnamese perspective but also from that of South Vietnam, the Soviet Union, China, and the United States, presenting a uniquely international portrait.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625798Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625798 to listen full audiobooks.

Nguyen Narrator: Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 23, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: While most historians of the Vietnam War focus on the origins of US involvement and the Americanization of the conflict, Lien-Hang T. Nguyen examines the international context in which North Vietnamese leaders pursued the war and American intervention ended. This riveting narrative takes the listener from the marshy Mekong Delta swamps to the bomb-saturated Red River Delta, from the corridors of power in Hanoi and Saigon to the Nixon White House, and from the peace negotiations in Paris to high-level meetings in Beijing and Moscow, all to reveal that peace never had a chance in Vietnam. Hanoi's War renders transparent the internal workings of America's most elusive enemy during the Cold War and shows that the war fought during the peace negotiations was bloodier and much more far-reaching than thought before. Using never-before-seen archival materials from the Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as materials from other archives around the world, Nguyen explores the politics of warmaking and peacemaking not only from the North Vietnamese perspective but also from that of South Vietnam, the Soviet Union, China, and the United States, presenting a uniquely international portrait.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-indispensable-milton-friedman-essays-on-politics-and-economics-by-lanny-ebenstein--65205887https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628721 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Radicals: Portraits of a Destructive Passion Author: David Horowitz Narrator: John Mclain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 7 minutes Release date: September 25, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Radical liberals want to make America a better place, but their utopian social engineering leads, ironically, to greater human suffering. From Karl Marx to Barack Obama, Horowitz shows how the idealistic impulse to make the world a better place gives birth to the twin cultural pathologies of cynicism and nihilism and is the chief source of human suffering. A former liberal himself, Horowitz recounts his own brushes with radicalism and offers unparalleled insight into the disjointed ideology of liberal elites through case studies of well-known radical leftists, including Christopher Hitchens, feminist Bettina Aptheker, leftist academic Cornel West, and others.

Title: Just Plain Dick: Richard Nixon’s Checkers Speech and the “Rocking, Socking” Election of 1952 Author: Kevin Mattson Narrator: Keith Szarabajka Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 6 minutes Release date: September 18, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A behind-the-scenes look at one of the most famous campaign speeches—Richard Nixon's 'Checkers' speech, to be published on its sixtieth anniversary It all started with some businessmen bankrolling Richard Nixon to become a 'salesman against socialization.' But in this precursor to current campaign finance scandals, Nixon had some explaining to do to keep his place on Eisenhower's Republican ticket, so he took to the airwaves. In making his speech, Nixon left behind lines about a 'Republican cloth coat' and a black-and-white cocker spaniel named Checkers. The speech saved and bolstered Nixon's political career and set the tone for the 1952 campaign. Just Plain Dick is political history and more. It's the story of a young man nearing a nervous breakdown and staging a political comeback. While the narrative focuses tightly, almost cinematically, on the 1952 election cycle—from the spring primary season to the summer conventions, from the allegations against Nixon through to the speech in September and finally the election in November—Mattson also provides a broad-stroke depiction of American politics and culture during the Cold War. Readers will see Nixon's contribution to current campaign styles. Here is a story of phony populism, a hatred of elites (tagged 'eggheads' back then), and emotionally charged appeals erasing a rational assessment of a politician's qualifications. An entertaining and suspenseful read, Just Plain Dick is ideal election context for political junkies and those fascinated with 1950s America.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628754Tue, 18 Sep 2012 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628754 to listen full audiobooks.

Elliott, Aaron Klein Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 20 minutes Release date: August 14, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This game-changing book reveals the blueprint for a second term that President Obama and his progressive backers don't want you to know. Months of painstaking research into thousands of documents have enabled investigative journalists and New York Times bestselling authors Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott to expose the secret template for Obama's next four years—the one actually created by Obama's own top advisors and strategists. All the main areas of domestic policy are covered—jobs, wages, health care, immigration overhaul, electoral 'reform,' national energy policy. Each of the plans exposed seeks to permanently remake America into a government-dominated socialist state. A few of the schemes unveiled herein include Detailed plans to enact single-payer health care legislation controlled by the federal government regardless of any Supreme Court decision to overturn Obamacare; Further gutting of the US military while using the savings for a new 'green' stimulus program and the founding of a federal 'green' bank to fund so-called environmentally friendly projects; The vastly reduced resources of the US Armed Forces will be spread even thinner by using them to combat global warming and global poverty and bolster the United Nations; An expansive new amnesty program for illegal aliens linked with a reduction in the capabilities of the US Border Patrol and plans to bring in untold numbers of new immigrants with the removal of caps on H-1B visas and green cards. While many have general concerns about Obama's second-term ambitions, Fool Me Twice lays bare the devastating details of a second Obama presidency.

Title: Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy Author: Robert Sirico Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: August 2, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Left has seized on our economic troubles as an excuse to 'blame the rich guy' and paint a picture of capitalism and the free market as selfish, greedy, and cruel. Democrats in Congress and Occupy protesters across the country assert that the free market is not only unforgiving, it's morally corrupt. According to President Obama and his allies, only by allowing the government to heavily control and regulate business and redistribute wealth can we ensure fairness and compassion. Exactly the opposite is true, says Father Robert Sirico in his thought-provoking book, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy. Father Sirico argues that a free economy actually promotes charity, selflessness, and kindness. In Defending the Free Market, he shows why free-market capitalism is not only the best way to ensure individual success and national prosperity but also the surest route to a moral and socially just society. Father Sirico shows why we can't have freedom without a free economy, why the best way to help the poor is to a start a business, why charity works—but welfare doesn't, and how he himself converted from being a leftist colleague of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden to recognizing the merits of a free economy. In this heated presidential election year, the Left will argue that capitalism may produce winners, but it is cruel and unfair.

Title: Anatomy of Injustice: A Murder Case Gone Wrong Author: Raymond Bonner Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 11 minutes Release date: February 21, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From Pulitzer Prize winner Raymond Bonner comes the gripping story of a grievously mishandled murder case that put a twenty-three-year-old man on death row. In January 1982, an elderly white widow was found brutally murdered in the small town of Greenwood, South Carolina. Police immediately arrested Edward Lee Elmore, a semiliterate, mentally retarded black man with no previous felony record. His only connection to the victim was having cleaned her gutters and windows, but barely ninety days after the victim’s body was found, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Elmore had been on death row for eleven years when a young attorney named Diana Holt first learned of his case. After attending the University of Texas School of Law, Holt was eager to help the disenfranchised and voiceless—she herself had been a childhood victim of abuse. It required little scrutiny for Holt to discern that Elmore’s case reeked of injustice—plagued by incompetent court-appointed defense attorneys, a virulent prosecution, and evidence that was both misplaced and contaminated . It was the cause of a lifetime for the spirited, hardworking lawyer. Holt would spend more than a decade fighting on Elmore’s behalf. With the exemplary moral commitment and tenacious investigation that have distinguished his reporting career, Bonner follows Holt’s battle to save Elmore’s life and shows us how his case is a textbook example of what can go wrong in the American justice system. He reviews police work, evidence gathering, jury selection, work of court-appointed lawyers, latitude of judges, iniquities in the law, prison informants, and the appeals process. Throughout, the actions and motivations of both unlikely heroes and shameful villains in our justice system are vividly revealed. Moving, enraging, suspenseful, and enlightening, Anatomy of Injustice is a vital contribution to our nation’s ongoing and increasingly important debate about inequality and the death penalty.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628674Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628674 to listen full audiobooks.

Police immediately arrested Edward Lee Elmore, a semiliterate, mentally retarded black man with no previous felony record. His only connection to the victim was having cleaned her gutters and windows, but barely ninety days after the victim’s body was found, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Elmore had been on death row for eleven years when a young attorney named Diana Holt first learned of his case. After attending the University of Texas School of Law, Holt was eager to help the disenfranchised and voiceless—she herself had been a childhood victim of abuse. It required little scrutiny for Holt to discern that Elmore’s case reeked of injustice—plagued by incompetent court-appointed defense attorneys, a virulent prosecution, and evidence that was both misplaced and contaminated . It was the cause of a lifetime for the spirited, hardworking lawyer. Holt would spend more than a decade fighting on Elmore’s behalf. With the exemplary moral commitment and tenacious investigation that have distinguished his reporting career, Bonner follows Holt’s battle to save Elmore’s life and shows us how his case is a textbook example of what can go wrong in the American justice system. He reviews police work, evidence gathering, jury selection, work of court-appointed lawyers, latitude of judges, iniquities in the law, prison informants, and the appeals process. Throughout, the actions and motivations of both unlikely heroes and shameful villains in our justice system are vividly revealed. Moving, enraging, suspenseful, and enlightening, Anatomy of Injustice is a vital contribution to our nation’s ongoing and increasingly important debate about inequality and the death penalty.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-politically-incorrect-guide-to-the-presidents-from-wilson-to-obama-by-steven-f-hayward--65205925https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627912 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents: From Wilson to Obama Series: Part of The Politically Incorrect Guides Author: Steven F. Hayward Narrator: Johnny Heller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 57 minutes Release date: February 14, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: What makes a president great? Academics, journalists, and popular historians agree: our greatest presidents are the ones who confronted a national crisis and mobilized the entire nation to face it. That's the conventional wisdom. The chief executives who are celebrated in textbooks and placed in the top echelon of presidents in surveys of experts are the bold leaders—the Woodrow Wilsons and Franklin Roosevelts—who reshaped the United States in line with their grand 'vision' for America. Unfortunately, along the way, these 'great' presidents inevitably expanded government—and shrank our liberties. As the twentieth-century presidency has grown far beyond the bounds the Founders established for the office, the idea that our chief executive is obliged to 'preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States' has become a distant memory. Historian and celebrated Reagan biographer Steven F. Hayward reminds us that the Founders had an entirely different idea of greatness in the presidential office. The personal ambitions, populist appeals, and bribes paid to the voters with their own money that most modern presidents engage in would strike them as instances of the demagoguery they most feared—one of the great dangers to the people's liberty that they wrote the Constitution explicitly to guard against. The Founders, in contrast to today's historians, expected great presidents to be champions of the limited government established by the Constitution. Working from that almost forgotten standard of presidential greatness, Steven Hayward offers a fascinating off-the-beaten-track tour through the modern presidency, from the Progressive Era's Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. Along the way he serves up fresh historical insights, recalls forgotten anecdotes, celebrates undervalued presidents who took important stands in defense of the Constitution, and points the way to a revival of truly constitutional government in America. What you didn't learn from your history teacher but will find in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents includes: –Progressive hero Woodrow Wilson aired a pro–Ku Klux Klan movie at the White House –Calvin Coolidge, much mocked by liberal historians as a bland Babbitt, was the last president to write his own speeches, guided the country through years of prosperity and limited government, and was one of the most cultured men ever to live in the White House –Why Eisenhower's two biggest mistakes as president were, in his own words, 'both sitting on the Supreme Court' –How, as president, JFK took mind-altering drugs, many of them prescribed by a physician he called Dr. Feelgood, who later lost his medical license for malpractice –Nixon's hysterically vilified Christmas bombing of North Vietnam in 1972 caused very few civilian casualties and compelled North Vietnam to negotiate an end to the Vietnam War –The 'misunderestimated' George W. Bush read 186 books during his presidency, mostly nonfiction, biography, and history]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627912Tue, 14 Feb 2012 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627912 to listen full audiobooks.

Brutal regimes that had been in power for many decades were suddenly swarmed by unstoppable mobs of freedom seekers. Now, one of the key figures behind the Egyptian uprising tells the riveting inside story of what happened and presents lessons for all of us on how to unleash the power of crowds. Wael Ghonim was a little-known thirty-year-old Google executive in the fall of 2010 when he anonymously launched a Facebook page to protest the death of an Egyptian man at the hands of security forces. The page’s followers expanded quickly and moved from online protests to nonconfrontational public gatherings. Then, on January 14, 2011, they made history when they announced a revolution. Over 350,000 friends clamored to join. On January 25, as the revolution began in earnest, Ghonim was captured and held for twelve days of brutal interrogation—and when he emerged and gave a speech on national television, the protests grew even more intense. Four days later, Mubarak was gone. The lessons Ghonim draws will inspire each of us: Forget the past. Don’t plan ahead. Let the crowd make its own decisions.

Triplett Narrator: Tom Weiner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 39 minutes Release date: November 15, 2011 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Communist China is lying, cheating, and stealing its way into becoming a global superpower. And what's worse, President Obama is not only letting this happen but helping China do so. So argues bestselling author William Triplett II and Washington Times editor Brett M. Decker in their shocking book, Bowing to Beijing. Here, Triplett and Decker reveal how China's rapid rise directly correlates with America's decline—and the dangerous consequences this trend holds for us here and abroad. Exposing how China is unabashedly threatening and shaming us militarily, economically, politically, Bowing to Beijing is an all-encompassing look at –China's destruction of traditional American industries at home, including how they're punishing American firms abroad, buying our assets (sometimes in secret), and flooding American homes with dangerous products; –China's far-reaching espionage tactics, including extortion and subversion of the American political system as well as penetration of colleges and universities; –China's strategic military buildup and weapons smuggling to rogue nations such as North Korea; and –Obama's disengagement and general AWOL attitude toward the threat China poses toAmerica. Our 'win-win' relationship with China—in which Obama appeases China so they win twice while we lose—is crippling us and is detrimental to our future. America must respond and stop China's power grab if we want to preserve our standard of living, our global influence, and our freedom.

He destroys a number of prevailing myths, such as that economic and social disparities are the result of racism and that economic sanctions will help punish the South African blacks more that the whites.

Title: A Nation like No Other: Why American Exceptionalism Matters Author: Newt Gingrich Narrator: Callista Gingrich Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 58 minutes Release date: June 14, 2011 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “Belief in American Exceptionalism leads inexorably to a smaller, more effective, accountable, and limited government. The American revolutionaries did not shed their blood for the welfare state; nor did they aim to replace the arbitrary rule of King George and his ‘multitude of New Offices’ and ‘swarms of Officers,’ as stated in the Declaration of Independence, with their own oppressive bureaucracy. Instead, they fought for individual liberty—and that made America an exception among all other nations.” —from the introduction It’s become fashionable among the liberal elite to downplay, deride, even deny America’s greatness. The political correctness police insist that America is hated around the world for being too big, too powerful, too rich, too successful, too loud, too intrusive. And besides, it’s not nice to brag. They are completely missing the point. America’s greatness, America’s exceptional greatness, is not based on the fact that we are the most powerful, most prosperous—and most generous—nation on earth. Rather, those things are the result of American Exceptionalism. To understand American Exceptionalism, as Newt Gingrich passionately argues in A Nation like No Other, one must understand our unique birth as a nation. American Exceptionalism is found in the simple yet utterly remarkable principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence, “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Our nation is exceptional, continues Newt, because we—unlike any nation before or since—are united by the belief and the promise that no king, no government, no ruling class has the power to infringe upon the rights of the individual. And when such a government attempts to do so, we will vigorously reject them. Sadly, many politicians and leaders today have forgotten our sacred commitment to these ideals. Our government has strayed alarmingly far from the scope of limited powers framed by our Founders. Meanwhile, the liberal media seek out, and sometimes create, stories intended to portray America as a bully and a thief. Even our own president seems clueless, assuring us that yes, yes, he believes in American exceptionalism, just like the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism and the British in British exceptionalism. But American Exceptionalism is not about cheerleading for the home team. It’s about recognizing and honoring the history-making, world-changing ideals our Founding Fathers enshrined to make this a nation of the people, by the people, for the people. And, as Lincoln warned, we must rededicate ourselves to those principles, lest our truly exceptional nation perish from this earth.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628591Tue, 14 Jun 2011 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628591 to listen full audiobooks.

They are completely missing the point. America’s greatness, America’s exceptional greatness, is not based on the fact that we are the most powerful, most prosperous—and most generous—nation on earth. Rather, those things are the result of American Exceptionalism. To understand American Exceptionalism, as Newt Gingrich passionately argues in A Nation like No Other, one must understand our unique birth as a nation. American Exceptionalism is found in the simple yet utterly remarkable principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence, “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Our nation is exceptional, continues Newt, because we—unlike any nation before or since—are united by the belief and the promise that no king, no government, no ruling class has the power to infringe upon the rights of the individual. And when such a government attempts to do so, we will vigorously reject them. Sadly, many politicians and leaders today have forgotten our sacred commitment to these ideals. Our government has strayed alarmingly far from the scope of limited powers framed by our Founders. Meanwhile, the liberal media seek out, and sometimes create, stories intended to portray America as a bully and a thief. Even our own president seems clueless, assuring us that yes, yes, he believes in American exceptionalism, just like the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism and the British in British exceptionalism. But American Exceptionalism is not about cheerleading for the home team. It’s about recognizing and honoring the history-making, world-changing ideals our Founding Fathers enshrined to make this a nation of the people, by the people, for the people. And, as Lincoln warned, we must rededicate ourselves to those principles, lest our truly exceptional nation perish from this earth.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/forgotten-continent-the-battle-for-latin-america-s-soul-by-michael-reid--65205944https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628602 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Forgotten Continent: The Battle for Latin America's Soul Author: Michael Reid Narrator: Gary Dikeos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 32 minutes Release date: April 19, 2011 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Latin America has often been condemned to failure. Neither poor enough to evoke Africa's moral crusade nor as explosively booming as India and China, it has largely been overlooked by the West. Yet this vast continent, home to half a billion people, the world's largest reserves of arable land, and 8.5 percent of global oil, is busily transforming its political and economic landscape. This book argues that, rather than failing the test, Latin America's efforts to build fairer and more prosperous societies make it one of the world's most vigorous laboratories for capitalist democracy. In many countries—including Brazil, Chile, and Mexico—democratic leaders are laying the foundations for faster economic growth and more inclusive politics, as well as tackling deep-rooted problems of poverty, inequality, and social injustice. They face a new challenge from Hugo Ch├ívez's oil-fuelled populism, and much is at stake. Failure will increase the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants to the United States and Europe, jeopardize stability in a region rich in oil and other strategic commodities, and threaten some of the world's most majestic natural environments. Drawing on Michael Reid's many years of reporting from inside Latin America's cities, presidential palaces, and shantytowns, this book provides a vivid, immediate, and informed account of a dynamic continent and its struggle to compete in a globalized world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628602Tue, 19 Apr 2011 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628602 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Inside Delta Force: The Story of America’s Elite Counterterrorist Unit Author: Eric L. Haney Narrator: Robertson Dean Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 1 minute Release date: April 18, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The inspiration for the hit television series The Unit Delta Force. They are the US Army’s most elite top-secret strike force. They dominate the modern battlefield, but you won’t hear about their heroics on CNN. No headlines can reveal their top-secret missions, and no book has ever taken readers inside—until now. Here, a founding member of Delta Force takes us behind the veil of secrecy and into the action to reveal the never-before-told story of First Special Forces Operational Detachment-D (Delta Force). He is a master of espionage, trained to take on hijackers, terrorists, hostage takers, and enemy armies. He can deploy by parachute or arrive by commercial aircraft, survive alone in hostile cities, speak foreign languages fluently, strike at enemy targets with stunning swiftness and extraordinary teamwork. He is the ultimate modern warrior: the Delta Force Operator. In this dramatic behind-the-scenes chronicle, Eric Haney, one of the founding members of Delta Force, takes us inside this legendary counterterrorist unit. Here, for the first time, are details of the grueling selection process—designed to break the strongest of men—that singles out the best of the best: the Delta Force Operator. With heart-stopping immediacy, Haney tells what it’s really like to enter a hostage-held airplane. And from his days in Beirut, Haney tells an unforgettable tale of bodyguards and bombs, of a day-to-day life of madness and beauty, and of how he and a teammate are called on to kill two gunmen targeting US Marines at the Beirut airport. As part of the team sent to rescue American hostages in Tehran, Haney offers a first-person description of that failed mission that is a chilling, compelling account of a bold maneuver undone by chance—and a few fatal mistakes. From fighting guerrilla warfare in Honduras to rescuing missionaries in Sudan and leading the way onto the island of Grenada, Eric Haney captures the daring and discipline that distinguish the men of Delta Force. Inside Delta Force brings honor to these singular men while it puts us in the middle of around-the-world action that is sudden, frightening, and nonstop.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628562Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628562 to listen full audiobooks.

Sounds like a movie review of The Godfather, but unfortunately we're talking about your federal government. So says bestselling author David Freddoso. InGangster Government: Barack Obama and the New Washington Thugocracy, Freddoso exposes how the Obama administration bears a closer resemblance to the mob than to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Laying bare the backdoor deals, threats, and pay-to-play schemes Obama uses to push his policies on unsuspecting voters, Gangster Government proves that Obama is more concerned with protecting his friends and punishing his enemies than doing right by the American public. In this shocking book, Freddoso reveals: who really benefited from the auto industry bailout and the stimulus package (it wasn't the car companies or the American people); how Obama and his EPA cronies are setting up a protection racket to control fossil fuels; why trial lawyers will benefit from Obamacare more than anyone else; and much more.

This is a veteran journalist's caustically funny, righteously angry lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States. The three Great Premises of Idiot America: – Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units. – Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough. – Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is determined by how fervently they believe it. Charles Pierce has led a career-long quest to separate the smart from the pap, and now it's time to try and salvage the Land of the Enlightened, buried somewhere in this new Home of the Uninformed. With his razor-sharp wit and erudite reasoning, Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States and how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate.

From his vantage point at the center of the action, he populates Radical Son with vivid portraits of people who made the radical decade, while unmaking America at the same time. We are introduced to an aged Bertrand Russell, the world-famous philosopher and godson of John Stuart Mill, who in his nineties became America's scourge. There is Tom Hayden, the radical Everyman who promoted guerrilla warfare in America's cities in the Sixties and became a Democratic state senator when his revolutions failed. We meet Huey Newton, a street hustler and murderer who founded the Black Panthers. A brutal murder committed by the Panthers prompts Horowitz's profound 'second thoughts' that eventually transformed him into an intellectual leader of conservatism and its most prominent activist in Hollywood.

Using previously unpublished documents, Gold, the former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, exposes how the deeply ingrained hatred that has provoked the new terrorism has its roots in Saudi Arabia's dominant religious creed, a radical Islamic offshoot known as Wahhabism. Through meticulous research, Dore Gold connects the dots, tapping into his rich knowledge of the history of the Middle East and his years of hands-on diplomatic experience. He also shows what is being overlooked in the current war on terror. As Gold stunningly reveals, unless the United States and its allies change their approach and cast a cold eye on supposed partner Saudi Arabia, the war on terror will not be won. It will be only a matter of time before another Osama bin Laden emerges.

S. Eliot. Vigorously written, the book represents conservatism as an ideology born of sound intellectual traditions.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-art-of-political-war-and-other-radical-pursuits-by-david-horowitz--65205948https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628236 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception Author: Scott Mcclellan Narrator: Scott Mcclellan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 26 minutes Release date: June 2, 2008 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In the bestselling book that provoked a media sensation, former White House press secretary Scott McClellan takes readers behind the scenes of the presidency of George W. Bush. McClellan belonged to Bush’s select inner circle of trusted advisors during one of the most challenging and contentious periods of recent history. Over a period of more than seven years, he witnessed day-to-day exactly how the presidency veered off course: not only by its decision to topple Saddam Hussein but by an embrace of confrontational politics in the face of an increasingly partisan Washington and hostile media. In this refreshingly clear-eyed book, McClellan provides unique perspective on what happened and why it happened the way it did, including the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, and two hotly contested presidential campaigns. He gives readers a candid look into who George W. Bush is and what he believes and explores the lessons this presidency offers the American people as we look to the future.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628486Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628486 to listen full audiobooks.

Why do lies seem to linger so long in the cultural subconscious even after they've been thoroughly discredited? And why, when more people than ever before are documenting the truth with laptops and digital cameras, does fact-free spin and propaganda seem to work so well? Comedian Stephen Colbert's catchword 'truthiness' captured something essential about our age: that people are now more comfortable with ideas thatfeeltrue, even if the evidence for those beliefs is thin. In a subtle and fascinating exploration, Farhad Manjoo explains what's powering this phenomenon. He explores how new technologies that give us control over what we see and read have caused 'reality' to split across political and cultural lines, allowing opposing groups to subscribe not only to different opinions from each other but also different facts.In an age of talk radio, cable television, and the blog- and YouTube-addled internet universe, it is no longer necessary for any of us to confront notions that contradict what we 'know' to be true. With brilliant insights from psychology, sociology, and economics, Manjoo explains how myths pushed by both partisans and marketers—whether about global warming, the war in Iraq, 9/11, or even the virtues of a certain candy bar—have attracted wide support in recent years. His characters include the Swift Boat veterans, Lou Dobbs, and conspiracy theorists of all varieties, all of whom prove thattruematters less, now, than trueenough.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628511Sun, 01 Jun 2008 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628511 to listen full audiobooks.

Barone points out that the single most significant issue to dominate American politics in this century is that of who really is an American. Gone are the vaunted battles over the distribution of wealth and income. In their place are the powerfully rooted political battles fought between America’s cultural poles: its racial and ethnic groups, its urban liberals and small-town conservatives, its state’s rightists and centrists, and ultimately also between advocates of culturally diverse lifestyles.

When the local iron mine began hiring women in 1975, Lois Jenson, a single mother on welfare, didn’t think twice about accepting the grueling but well-paying job. What she hadn’t considered was that she was entering a male-dominated society that fiercely resented the inclusion of women, a prejudice born out in the brutal harassment of every female miner. Relentlessly threatened with pornographic graffiti, denigrating language, stalking, and physical assaults, the women largely kept quiet for fear of losing their jobs, until Lois, devastated by the abuse, found the courage to sue—and won.

From the founding fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and many others—to the frontiersmen who tamed the West, to the country music and NASCAR-loving, Bible-thumping heart of “red state” America, the South is the quintessence of what’s original, unique, and most-loved about American culture.

Far from being the backwater of prejudice and ignorance that the liberal media would have you believe, the South has always been the center of American culture. From the founding fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and many others—to the frontiersmen who tamed the West, to the country music and NASCAR-loving, Bible-thumping heart of “red state” America, the South is the quintessence of what’s original, unique, and most-loved about American culture. And with its emphasis on traditional values, family, faith, military service, good manners, small government, and independent-minded people, the South should certainly rise again.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/objection-how-high-priced-defense-attorneys-celebrity-defendants-and-a-24-7-media-have-hijacked-our-criminal-justice-system-by-nancy-gra--65205957https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628347 to listen full audiobooks.

In this brilliantly analytical yet personal book, Sharansky and his longtime friend and advisor Ron Dermer make the case for democracy. The authors put nondemocratic societies under the microscope to reveal the mechanics of tyranny that sustain them, and explain why democracy is essential for our security. Freedom, Sharansky claims, is rooted in the right to dissent, and societies that do not protect that right can never be reliable partners for peace. But lasting tyranny can be consigned to history’s dustbin if the free world stays true to its ideals. The question is not whether we have the power to change the world, but whether we have the will to move beyond Right and Left and start thinking about right and wrong.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628330Mon, 27 Jun 2005 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/628330 to listen full audiobooks.

Or does it? American democracy is, in many people's minds, the model for the rest of the world. Fareed Zakaria points out that the American form of democracy is one of the least democratic in use today. Members of the Supreme Court and the Federal Reserve, institutions that fundamentally shape our lives, are appointed, not elected. The Bill of Rights enumerates a set of privileges to which citizens are entitled, no matter what the majority says. By restricting our democracy, we enhance our freedom. Abroad, the spread of democracy has not produced a corresponding growth of liberty. We are seeing in many parts of the world, a strange creature—the elected autocrat. Zakaria calls for a restoration of the balance between liberty and democracy and shows how liberal democracy has to be made effective and relevant for our times.

Levin Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: March 1, 2005 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Supreme Court endorses terrorists’ rights, flag burning, and importing foreign law. Is that in the Constitution? You’re right: it’s not. But these days the Constitution is no restraint on our out-of-control Supreme Court. The Court imperiously strikes down laws and imposes new ones purely on its own arbitrary whims. Even though liberals like John Kerry are repeatedly defeated at the polls, the majority on the allegedly “conservative” Supreme Court reflects their views and wields absolute power. There’s a word for this: tyranny. In Men in Black, radio talk-show host and legal scholar Mark R. Levin dissects the judicial tyranny that is robbing us of our freedoms and stuffing the ballot box in favor of liberal policies. As Rush Limbaugh writes in his introduction, “Men in Black is a tremendously important and compelling book.”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627525Tue, 01 Mar 2005 01:22:07 +0000Helene HyattPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/627525 to listen full audiobooks.
