    Sea Harrier Over The Falklands (eBook, ePUB)
    The controversial first-hand account of what really happened in the south Atlantic skiesSharkey Ward commanded 801 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Invincible, was senior Sea Harrier adviser to the Command, flew over sixty missions and was awarded DSC. Yet had he followed all his instructions to the letter, Britain might well have lost the Falklands War.His dramatic first-hand story of the air war in the South Atlantic is also an extraordinary, outspoken account of inter-Service rivalries, bureaucratic interference, and dangerous ignorance of the realities of air combat among many senior commanders. As Sharkey Ward reveals, the 801 pilots were fighting not just the enemy, exhaustion, and the hostile weather, but also the prejudice and ignorance of their own side.

    A Revelation of Passover , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
    Deliverance is in the details. Intricate, specific, instructive, explicit words not commonly evoked when we reminisce the greatest gift of mercy given. Calvary’s requirements were not our cup to bear. We need simply just to receive its grace. The memorial of the work done on the Cross, in fact, preceded it prophetically at Passover. A day that was later instituted for the Jews to give reverence for their freedom from Egyptian bondage also pointed to the ultimate day of hallmark, for all peoples to be released from the wages of sin. When we revisit the most important event of Exodus with close attention, we begin to realize God had a purpose for every stipulation commanded of Moses. The particulars of Passover tend to get lost in tradition, especially when the general idea of it becomes a mere custom in our churches. However, this was the one miracle commanded of the Hebrews to actively participate in, so that they would escape certain death that God himself would bring. Before the blood dripped from the doorposts, the generation that would soon be liberated adhered closely to Jehovah’s every condition. A Revelation of Passover observes the Lord’s detailed list of orders so that this day of remembrance can be truly commemorated and never again passed over. ungekürzt.

    Attack at Daylight and Whip Them: The Battle of Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862 (Emerging Civil War Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min
    Attack at daylight and whip them - that was the Confederate plan on the morning of April 6, 1862. The unsuspecting Union Army of the Tennessee, commanded by Major General Ulysses S. Grant, had gathered on the banks of its namesake river at a spot called Pittsburg Landing, ready to strike deep into the heart of Tennessee Confederates, commanded by General Albert Sidney Johnston. Johnston’s troops were reeling from setbacks earlier in the year and had decided to reverse their fortunes by taking the fight to the Federals. Johnston planned to attack them at daylight and drive them into the river. A brutal day of fighting ensued, unprecedented in its horror - the devil’s own day, one union officer admitted. Confederates needed just one final push. Grant did not sit and wait for that assault, though. He gathered reinforcements and planned a counteroffensive. On the morning of April 7, he intended to attack at daylight and whip them. The bloodshed that resulted from the two-day battle exceeded anything America had ever known in its history. Historian Greg Mertz grew up on the Shiloh battlefield, hiking its trails and exploring its fields. Attack at Daylight and Whip Them taps into five decades of intimate familiarity with a battle that rewrote America’s notions of war. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Neufeld.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Boots on the Ground, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, a look back at one momentous day during the war in Iraq: April 6, 2004 saw the birth of the Iraqi insurgency and the heaviest fighting the U.S. Marines had encountered since Vietnam. Donovan Campbell commanded a platoon of Marines in Ramadi. He tells Steve Paulson that to understand the events of April 6, you have to know what went on the night before. He also tells the story in his memoir, Joker One. Next, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez served as Commander of Coalition Forces in Iraq from June 2003 to June 2004. He shared power with Paul Bremer, the Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority. Sanchez commanded Coalition Forces during the capture of Saddam Hussein, the revelation about Abu Ghraib and on April 6, 2004. His memoir is called Wiser in Battle: A Soldier's Story. General Sanchez recalled his service in this candid discussion with Steve Paulson. Finally, journalist David Swanson was embedded in ar-Ramadi with Ryan Jerabek's unit the day Ryan died. He tells Jim Fleming the Marines knew that location was dangerous and resented having to patrol there every day at the same time. David Swanson is a staff photographer at the Philadelphia Inquirer.
