Rampage: MacArthur, Yamashita, and the Battle of Manila (eBook, ePUB)
"Illuminating.... An eloquent testament to a doomed city and its people.” —The Wall Street Journal In early 1945, General Douglas MacArthur prepared to reclaim Manila, America's Pearl of the Orient, which had been seized by the Japanese in 1942. Convinced the Japanese would abandon the city, he planned a victory parade down Dewey Boulevard—but the enemy had other plans. The Japanese were determined to fight to the death. The battle to liberate Manila resulted in the catastrophic destruction of the city and a rampage by Japanese forces that brutalized the civilian population, resulting in a massacre as horrific as the Rape of Nanking. Drawing from war-crimes testimony, after-action reports, and survivor interviews, Rampage recounts one of the most heartbreaking chapters of Pacific War history.- Shop: buecher

Eine alte Schuld: Cherringham-Krimi 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 448min
Ein Verbrechen, das vor vielen Jahren geschah - kein Problem für Jack und Sarah! Es ist Jahrmarkt in Cherringham. Der ganze Ort fiebert der Regatta, der Parade und dem Feuerwerk entgegen. Na gut, fast alle, denn Jack und Sarah interessieren sich viel mehr für die menschlichen Überreste, die ganz in der Nähe bei einer archäologischen Ausgrabung entdeckt wurden. Anders als zunächst vermutet handelt es sich bei dem Fund nicht um einen römischen Soldaten, sondern um einen jungen Mann, der erst vor ein paar Jahrzehnten das Opfer eines kaltblütigen Mordes geworden sein muss. Als dann auch noch Jacks Versicherungsagent verschwindet, hat das Ermittlerduo alle Hände voll zu tun: Gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen beiden Fällen? Und welches dunkle Geheimnis wird im beschaulichen Cherringham mit allen Mitteln zu verheimlichen versucht? deutsch.

Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions. If you know nothing of the Bible, start here. If you know everything in the Bible, return here. We all need the reminder. The heart of the human problem is the heart of the human. And God's treatment is prescribed in John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. He loves. He gave. We believe. We live. Language: English. Narrator: Wayne Shepherd. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tnwd/000692/bk_tnwd_000692_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Round the Horne 16: Volume 16, Hörbuch, Digital, 117min
How lovely it is to once again vada the dolly old eek of Round the Horne, the radio comedy series which ventured where few had gone before in the late 1960s. For four series, suave and unruffled host Kenneth Horne battled manfully with a marauding parade of characters, from enterprising chorus boys Julian & Sandy and warbling songsmith Rambling Syd Rumpo to booming Daphne Whitethigh and breathless thespians Charles & Fiona. In this latest collection of episodes, we listen in to an interview at the BBC personnel department; Kenneth Horne, master spy, has serious trouble when the evil Ginsberg causes people to assume the characters of animals; Julian & Sandy suggest something decadent for the garden; and, in a wartime drama, Fiona finds something lacking in her marriage to Charles.
