    Bedroht, verfolgt, verjagt: Christen im Nahen Osten, Hörbuch, Digital, 29min
    Die Urgemeinden der Christenheit im Nahen Osten hatten eine große Vergangenheit. Eine Zukunft scheinen sie nicht mehr zu haben: Im Irak, in Ägypten, in Syrien, überall geraten sie unter Druck. Konnten sie unter den brutalen, aber säkularen Regimen Saddam Husseins oder Baschar al Assads noch unbehelligt ihre Religion praktizieren, so sehen sie sich nun von radikalen Islamisten bedroht, verfolgt, verjagt. Vor allem im Irak fallen Christen gezieltem Terrorismus zum Opfer. Die "Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker" spricht sogar von der "größten Christenvertreibung der Gegenwart". Eigentlich müssten sich westliche Staaten für das Schicksal der Christen im Orient interessieren. Sie tun es aber nicht. O-Töne: Vater Gabriel (ital., darüber dt.

    Littlejohn's Britain, Hörbuch, Digital, 173min
    Littlejohn describes his job as sitting at the back throwing bottles. His twice-weekly columns have become an essential fix for millions of readers of the Daily Mail and the Sun over the past two decades.In Littlejohn's Britain Littlejohn takes aim at the Blair years, lampooning New Labour with polemic, pastiche, parody, satire, and savage social commentary.His cast of characters, including Two Jags, the Wicked Witch, Captain Hook, and the Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taliban have become part of the fabric of the nation.Littlejohn ridicules the country Britain has become over the past 10 years: the barmy bureaucracy, the surveillance state, the petty interference in our lives, the suffocating regulations, policeman and judges who think they're part of the social services, and the insanities of the 'elf 'n' safety industry, which have created such idiocies as forcing revellers celebrating Guy Fawkes Night to watch a bonfire on a big screen.Littlejohn has a bloodhound's nose for cant, hypocrisy, and lunacy, and an unparalleled talent for pouring scorn on the arrogance of the powerful - while making his readers roar with laughter.It's all here, in hilarious detail.

    Die USA, Israel und der Nahe Osten
    Im globalen Spiel der Mächte seit 1945 war der Nahe Osten eines der Hauptfelder der amerikanischen Politik. Die USA waren von Anfang an die entscheidende Macht in dieser Region, die von strategischer Bedeutung war: Dort gab es Öl, das für den Westen gesichert werden musste. In den Jahren des Kalten Krieges bis 1990/91 hieß der Gegner Sowjetunion. Und es gab den neuen Staat Israel, den die arabischen Staaten vernichten wollten. Ein Krieg folgte dem anderen: Israels Unabhängigkeitskrieg 1948/49, Suezkrieg, Sechstagekrieg, Yom Kippur-Krieg, Libanonkrieg, zwei Golfkriege. Es gab Bürgerkriege im Libanon, im Jemen und in Syrien, Revolutionen im Irak und im Iran, die sowjetische Invasion Afghanistans und nach 9/11 den "Krieg gegen den Terror".In dem Spannungsfeld Öl, Israel, Palästinenser, panarabischer Nationalismus, Kalter Krieg, islamistischer Terror und Mullah-Regime im Iran bewegte sich die amerikanische Politik in einer Region, die von Extremismus und Instabilität geprägt war.Der renommierte Zeithistoriker Rolf Steininger legt hier auf der Basis umfangreicher Akten die erste deutschsprachige Gesamtdarstellung dieser unglaublich spannenden Geschichte vor. Dabei liefert er zahlreiche neue Erkenntnisse, u. a. zur US-Intervention im Libanon, zur israelischen Atombombe, zum Bürgerkrieg im Jemen, zum Frieden zwischen Israel und Ägypten, zur gescheiterten Geiselbefreiung im Iran und zum längsten Krieg in der Geschichte der USA - dem Krieg in Afghanistan. 43 Fotos und eine Karte ergänzen den Band.

    Resurrection: Alien Invasion, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 735min
    Eternity has a new beginning. With the human race decimated, only a handful of survivors still wander the planet. They've forgotten the Astrals, and they've forgotten their pasts, ready for a fresh start…or at least that's how it was supposed to happen. In a small desert village without memory, the Lightborn labor unseen - while in the Mullah stronghold beyond, Clara fights an old battle to free the minds of mankind. She's come up against a wall. She's fallen into a trap. And now, finally, the walls have begun to crumble. The Astrals linger unseen, unable to leave the planet. But now they face a challenge they've never seen before: a new human mindscape that persists despite their best efforts to erase it, a will that refuses to die. The Archetypes rise, but their chore is an impossible one. They must infiltrate the collective on their own terms and perhaps save what little humanity still holds in its grasp...or force the planet's deadlocked overlords to destroy the human race for good. This relentless tale of colonization and alien empire is the seventh and final book in the Alien Invasion series by masters of story Truant and Platt, authors of The Beam, Robot Proletariat, the Dream Engine series, and many more. **Includes a special bonus note read by one of the authors. ungekürzt.

    A Devil Is Waiting: Sean Dillon, Book 19 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
    The new Higgins has landed! The mesmerizing new Sean Dillon thriller of murder, terrorism, and revenge from the Sunday Times best-selling author is here. Fresh from his mission in The Judas Gate to seek out and eliminate one of al Qaeda’s most valued agents, a traitor responsible for countless soldiers’ deaths in Afghanistan, Sean Dillon is back in a blistering new adventure. The American president, on a planned visit to Europe, is entertained by the British prime minister on the terrace of the House of Commons. On the same day, London-born Mullah Ali Salim makes an impassioned speech at Hyde Park Corner accusing the president of war crimes, objecting to his presence, and offering a blessing to anyone who will assassinate him. Dillon, Major Ferguson, and Daniel Holley are called into action, helped by a new recruit, Intelligence Corp Captain Sara Gideon, a war hero in the Afghan conflict, whose speciality is Pashta and Iranian. They quickly find themselves trying to handle a massive upsurge in terrorism from enemies near and far, all with links to al Qaeda. As a Sephardic Jew from a wealthy and ancient English family, Sara will find herself at the heart of the firestorm when she is swept into the heart of the terror organisation. Though their leader may be gone the threat remains as terrible as ever, and though Dillon and company may have won the first battle with al Qaeda, they will learn the war is far from over. A devil is indeed waiting and the assassination plan is only the beginning… ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Oliver.

    Year Zero: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
    An alien advance party was suddenly nosing around my planet. Worse, they were lawyering up.... In the hilarious tradition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Rob Reid takes you on a headlong journey through the outer reaches of the universe - and the inner workings of our absurdly dysfunctional music industry. Low-level entertainment lawyer Nick Carter thinks it's a prank, not an alien encounter, when a redheaded mullah and a curvaceous nun show up at his office. But Frampton and Carly are highly advanced (if bumbling) extraterrestrials. And boy, do they have news. The entire cosmos, they tell him, has been hopelessly hooked on humanity's music ever since "Year Zero" (1977 to us), when American pop songs first reached alien ears. This addiction has driven a vast intergalactic society to commit the biggest copyright violation since the Big Bang. The resulting fines and penalties have bankrupted the whole universe. We humans suddenly own everything - and the aliens are not amused. Nick Carter has just been tapped to clean up this mess before things get ugly, and he's an unlikely galaxy-hopping hero: He's scared of heights. He's also about to be fired. And he happens to have the same name as a Backstreet Boy. But he does know a thing or two about copyright law. And he's packing a couple of other pencil-pushing superpowers that could come in handy. Soon he's on the run from a sinister parrot and a highly combustible vacuum cleaner. With Carly and Frampton as his guides, Nick now has 48 hours to save humanity, while hopefully wowing the hot girl who lives down the hall from him. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Terrorists in Love: The Real Lives of Islamic Radicals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 752min
    Imagine a world where a boy's dreams dictate the behavior of warriors in battle; where a young couple's only release from forbidden love is death; where religious extremism, blind hatred, and endemic corruption combine to form a lethal ideology that can hijack a man's life forever. This is the world of Terrorists in Love. A former federal prosecutor and congressional investigator, Ken Ballen spent five years as a pollster and a researcher with rare access - via local government officials, journalists, and clerics - interviewing more than a hundred Islamic radicals, asking them searching questions about their inner lives, deepest faith, and what it was that ultimately drove them to jihad. Intimate and enlightening, Terrorists in Love opens a fresh window into the realm of violent extremism as Ballen profiles six of these men - from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia - revealing a universe of militancy so strange that it seems suffused with magical realism. Mystical dreams and visions, the demonic figure of the United States, intense sexual repression, crumbling family and tribal structure - the story that emerges here is both shocking and breathtakingly complex. Terrorists in Love introduces us to men like Ahmad Al-Shayea, an Al Qaeda suicide bomber who survives his attack only to become fiercely pro-American; Zeddy, who trains terrorists while being paid by America's ally, the Pakistani army; and Malik, Taliban leader Mullah Omar's personal seer. Lifting the veil on the mysterious world of Muslim holy warriors, Ballen probes these men's deepest secrets, revealing the motivations behind their deadly missions and delivering a startling new exploration of what drives them to violence and why there is yet an unexpected hope for peace. An extraordinarily gifted listener and storyteller, Ballen takes us where no one has dared to go - deep into the secret heart of Islamic fundamentalism, providing a glimpse at the lives, lo ungekürzt.

    The Search for Al Qaeda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min
    Al Qaeda is the most dangerous terrorist movement in history. Yet most people in the Americas and Europe know very little about it, or their view is clouded by misperceptions and half truths. If the first rule of war is to "know your enemy", then we have a long way to go. This important book fills this gap with a comprehensive analysis of al Qaeda - the origins, leadership, ideology, and strategy of the terrorist network that brought down the Twin Towers and continues to threaten us today. Bruce Riedel is an expert on the Middle East and South Asia, with 30 years of intelligence and policymaking experience. He was actually in the White House Situation Room during the 9/11 attacks, serving as special assistant to the president and National Security Council senior director for Near East Affairs. He draws on this insider experience in profiling the four most important figures in the al Qaeda movement: Osama bin Laden, its creator and charismatic leader; ideologue Ayman Zawahiri, its Egyptian coleader and principal spokesman; Abu Musaib al Zarqawi, leader of al Qaeda in Iraq until his death in 2006; and Mullah Omar, its Taliban host. These profiles provide the base from which Riedel delivers a much clearer understanding of al Qaeda and what must be done to counter it. The Search for al Qaeda reviews how al Qaeda was created and developed, presenting authoritative and chilling background on "The Manhattan Raid", but Riedel focuses more closely on what has happened to it since that awful day. He outlines al Qaeda's ultimate goals, which are to drive America out of the Muslim world, to destroy Israel, and to create a jihadist caliphate larger than the Ottoman Empire at its height. The book concludes with a strategy for dealing with - and defeating - this most dangerous menace. The book is published by Brookings Institution Press. ungekürzt. Language: English.
