A Red Boyhood: Growing Up Under Stalin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min

Many children growing up in the Soviet Union before World War II knew the meaning of deprivation and dread. But for the son of an "enemy of the people", those apprehensions were especially compounded. When the secret police came for his father in 1938, 10-year-old Anatole Konstantin saw his family plunged into a morass of fear. His memoir of growing up in Stalinist Russia re-creates in vivid detail the daily trials of people trapped in this regime before and during the repressive years of World War II - and the equally horrific struggles of refugees after that conflict. Evicted from their home, their property confiscated, and eventually forced to leave their town, Anatole's family experienced the fate of millions of Soviet citizens whose loved ones fell victim to Stalin's purges. His mother, Raya, resorted to digging peat, stacking bricks, and even bootlegging to support herself and her two children. How she managed to hold her family together in a rapidly deteriorating society - and how young Anatole survived the horrors of marginalization and war - form a story more compelling than any novel. Looking back on those years from adulthood, Konstantin reflects on both his formal education under harsh conditions and his growing awareness of the contradictions between propaganda and reality. He tells of life in the small Ukrainian town of Khmelnik just before World War II and of how some of its citizens collaborated with the German occupation, lending new insight into the fate of Ukrainian Jews and Nazi corruption of local officials. And in recounting his experiences as a refugee, he offers a new look at everyday life in early postwar Poland and Germany, as well as one of the few firsthand accounts of life in postwar Displaced Persons camps. A Red Boyhood takes listeners inside Stalinist Russia to experience the grim realities of repression - both under a Soviet regime and German occupation. A moving story of desperate people ungekürzt.

Are We Nearly There Yet, Dad?: From Croydon to Cairns: A Young Family's 30,000 Mile Drive Across 3 Continents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 716min

In January 2008, Graham Naismith, 37-year-old IT consultant and former police detective, and his wife Eirene, aged 38 and a former teacher, spontaneously, and with no prior experience whatsoever, decided to embark on a 30,000 mile drive to Australia with their three daughters aged one, four, and six. Having previously sold their house in anticipation of a drop in the housing market and with Graham's job at the infamous ID Cards Scheme looking precarious, the climate was right. So, with the decision made and the trip endorsed by Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Lance Armstrong, and not forgetting The Hairy Bikers, four months of intensive planning and preparation followed. A suitable four-wheel drive vehicle was bought and built to expedition standards and the relentless quest for sponsorship commenced. Satellite phones, emergency beacons, needles, drips, medicines, vaccinations galore, mountains of equipment, and bureaucracy were all sourced, and courses in vehicle repair, remote emergency first aid, and Russian were embarked on before they departed. On May 1, 2008, they waved goodbye to their friends, and within 15 minutes heard their first “Are we nearly there yet, Dad?”. This proved to be a constant as they traveled through 19 countries including Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, and onto South East Asia before driving the entire circumference of Australia.As they traveled, the global economy went into meltdown.The book charts, in diary form, a journey through desert and jungle, from Auschwitz to the Beijing Olympics and from opulence to third-world poverty. The family encountered terrorist bombings, earthquakes, blood clots, gun-toting soldiers, corrupt policemen, covert tracking devices, AK-47 carrying locals, an attempted car-jacking, landslides, mines, convicted drug dealers at the Bangkok Hilton, lice, leeches, ghosts, scorpions, snakes, and sharks, not to mention their car being confiscated in China, blowing up in Thailand, ungekürzt.

The Work of the Dead : A Post Apocalyptic Prepper Fiction Series: Aftermath Survival, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min

This is a gripping, epic, prepper tale of suspenseful catastrophe, occasionally mixed with humorous survival, in the dystopia of a post-apocalyptic Deep South. It is a continuing, fast-paced, science-fiction fantasy that foresees the fall of America after a solar storm takes the electrical grid down. The story is set in the aftermath of a world in which famine leads to mass chaos. The federal government forms a new economy by issuing two new paper currencies: military script for the FEMA camps and the Amero for the city states backed by nothing more than promises. The individual possession of gold and silver coinage is now historically illegal once again, but for people living far from government camps, it's all the currency the Free Traders Guild uses, except for barter, as a means of monetary exchange. This post-apocalyptic, science-fiction anthology series brings in some of the beloved characters from the best-selling, classic, original Prepper Trilogy. A motley crew of diverse survivors and heroes living on lakes and rivers, drawn from other books from Ron Foster's years as an apocalyptic and dystopian-fiction writer, get a chance to all meet up at the yearly Trade Rendezvous. This mystery thriller begins in the heart of a crisis five years after the power grid goes down. This apocalyptic drama sets the stage and allows the listeners to hear several newly introduced characters interacting with their favorite old survivalist ones, as well as, a glimpse at their back stories of survival. After barely surviving the first economic collapse in the country, the Free Traders Guild established a bank and backed trade notes with gold and silver. The new emergency government of the United States has just confiscated all the metal in that particular bank, and the traders are wondering what to do with all the bits of seemingly worthless paper they are left holding. ungekürzt.

Little Turtle’s War: The History and Legacy of the 18th Century Conflict Between the United States and Native Americans in the Northwest Territory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min

When the American Revolution ended, the United States and Britain reached an impressively comprehensive peace in the Treaty of Paris. Among the important terms of the treaty, Britain recognized the colonies as free and relinquished territorial claims to them.The two sides then negotiated the boundaries that separated the United States from the British colonies in present-day Canada. Additionally, the British and Americans strove to share certain waters, including the Mississippi River and the fishing waters off Newfoundland. Finally, the two sides made mutual promises regarding paying debts and returning property that had been confiscated during the war, including slaves.Still, the Treaty of Paris was not without its problems. Almost immediately, individual states in America rejected certain provisions and ignored them outright - a hallmark characteristic of American federalism that would lead to the Civil War 80 years later. Other problems included disputes along the boundary with Canada, and the fact that American access to the Mississippi River was blocked after the British and Spanish signed a separate treaty that left Spain in control of Florida. Some of these problems would fester heading into the 19th century, and eventually, the British and Americans would go to war again in 1812.The new United States was faced with a fundamental problem: to expand, it had to settle lands to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, ceded to it by the British. However, the mountains were occupied by Native American groups who had no desire to make way for white settlers. The treaty had created a vast frontier for the fledgling nation, and any American settlers pushing west along it, were bound to encounter hostile natives. For the most part, the conflicts that followed consisted mostly of the Native Americans suffering defeat in the face of a better-equipped adversary, interspersed with binding treaties, which, on the side of the federal governmen ungekürzt.

3: JFK Homicide, Hörbuch, Digital, 70min

John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy was perhaps the most well-known American president in history. JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, and Lee Harvey Oswald was thought to be the lone gunman. When the FBI and the Warren Commission officially concluded that Oswald was the lone assassin, its report was sharply criticized. Many experts feel there were additional shooters involved. In this fascinating presentation, experience the riveting testimony of three individuals that were there on that fateful day. Dr. Robert McClelland - The surgeon who worked on JFK and on Lee Harvey Oswald. Imagine having the opportunity to speak with the doctor who worked on Abraham Lincoln. He tells us of Jackie's reactions in Trauma Room one and of the discrepancies of the wounds he witnessed on JFK and the official autopsy photos. James Tague - The third person wounded in Dealey Plaza that day along with JFK and Governor Connolly. Tague became inadvertently responsible for The Magic Bullet Theory. Standing unassumingly near the triple underpass watching the motorcade, Tague became wounded by a ricochet. Many today are completely unaware of his story. This is the gripping full account, in his own words. Beverly Oliver - Ms. Oliver witnessed the fatal head shot and can be clearly seen in all film footage of the assassination. She reveals how the FBI confiscated her Super 8 camera because she may have filmed the shooter on the Grassy Knoll and discloses that death threats were made against her if she spoke out. Beverly Oliver knew Jack Ruby personally, and witnessed Lee Harvey Oswald and Mafia/CIA operative David Ferrie together at The Carousel Club before the assassination. She tells behind the scenes stories of the movie JFK when she was on the set with Oliver Stone and Kevin Costner. Language: English. Narrator: Brent Holland.

The Miami: The History and Legacy of the Native American Tribe Across the Great Lakes and Oklahoma , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 141min

The two sides then negotiated the boundaries that separated the United States from the British colonies in present-day Canada. Additionally, the British and Americans strove to share certain waters, including the Mississippi River and the fishing waters off Newfoundland.

However, the mountains were occupied by Native American groups who had no desire to make way for white settlers. The treaty had created a vast frontier for the fledgling nation, and any American settlers pushing west along it were bound to encounter hostile natives. For the most part, the conflicts that followed consisted mostly of the Native Americans suffering defeat in the face of a better-equipped adversary, interspersed with binding treaties, which, on the side of the federal government, proved not very binding at all. Occasionally, however, there arose a Native American leader of such ability that such defeats were temporarily reversed, and Little Turtle, the war chief of the Miami tribe, was one such man. Under his leadership, a confederation of Miami and other tribes inflicted the worst defeat ever suffered by an American army in the newly independent nation. Almost a quarter of the Army’s total strength was lost in a single battle, but while later Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse have become legends, Little Turtle is not as well-remembered. This is particularly odd, given that ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Houle. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/222816/bk_acx0_222816_sample.mp3.

The Missing JFK Assassination Film: The Mystery Surrounding the Orville Nix Home Movie of November 22, 1963 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min

The Missing JFK Assassination Film is not the typical JFK assassination book. This book does not attempt to answer the question of who killed John F. Kennedy; instead it addresses why we should question the actions of those involved and why the truth was withheld from the people. Though copies of Orville Nix's film exist, the original film is missing. Why? The FBI confiscated Orville's camera for several months, then returned it in pieces. Were these actions sinister, or were they just examples of governmental incompetence? The Missing JFK Assassination Film exposes information about the House Select Committee staff's involvement in the missing film. Author Gayle Nix Jackson's interviews with people who were close to Orville and the film will shed light on the government's involvement with the filmmaker. Gayle Nix Jackson is the granddaughter of Orville Nix. As his eldest granddaughter, Nix Jackson shares experiences growing up with her beloved grandfather and how his views changed after that fatal day. Hearing his story precipitated the quest Jackson is still on to find the film. Her grandfather was there that day for a reason, and if the original Nix film could be located, modern-day technology could determine if there was indeed another person behind the stockade fence or not. Questions still abound today as to whether or not the film was altered. Finding the original Nix film would answer one of the most enduring questions related to this horrific event: Was there a conspiracy to kill John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963? Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for listeners interested in history - books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more.

Welcome to the first holiday essay collection by Everett Kunzelman, the second book in his series - Humorous Essays on Life After Retirement. Full of lots of laugh-out-loud moments - with his Golden Doodles, involving a werewolf scarecrow and a confiscated pecan pie, and his experience (as Santa) trying to one-up the Tooth Fairy - as well as the heartfelt poignancy of what is has meant to him remembering his childhood poverty, which resulted in an orange and re-painted toy cars (re-painted to make him think they were new), Everett’s latest collection is all this and more. So, onto the random stories and disorder...Praise for the Essays of Everett Kunzelman: “Everett Kunzelman has captured the Spirit of the Holiday Season with not only his trademark humor…but, in this holiday collection, he’s shared his heart.

House of Special Purpose: A Jeannie Loomis Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 307min

House of Special Purpose was the Bolshevik code name for the Ipatiev House, used as a place of confinement for the last czar of Russia, Nicholas II, and his family, after his forced abdication of the throne. After spending 78 days in the house, during the early morning hours of April 17th, 1918, the royal family was escorted to a basement room where they were assassinated. The killing squad was shocked and horrified when the bullets from their weapons bounced off the czar’s children. Unbeknownst to them, the royal jewels of the Romanoff dynasty had been sewn into their undergarments. Finding the jewelry, Cheka, the secret police, confiscated the property and placed it in a vault, only to discover items missing during an audit in 1925.While Special Agent Jeannie Loomis and her partner, Ismail Flores, attend Super Bowl LIV in Florida, Ricky Pinheiro, Jeannie’s love interest, attends a high-level briefing at the NSA where he is informed that the possible location of the missing Romanoff jewelry lies in the hands of a Russian oligarch living in San Francisco. He is using the jewelry as collateral to fund left-wing anarchy.In Dallas, the FBI is closing in on a lone-wolf jihadist desiring another 9/11-type attack on the United States. Before his capture, he flees to the underbelly of the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco and becomes the focus of Loomis and her team. As their search for the jihadist intensifies, the former sergeant-at-arms of the Sons and Daughters of Liberty (the execution arm of the secretive court called the Star Chamber) and his assassins begin killing off the remaining justices of the secret court as an act of revenge. They also orchestrate the kidnapping of a wealthy family’s teenage girl, mimicking the exploits of the former Symbionese Liberation Army. It will take all of Loomis’ experience and skills to focus her team on the tasks at hand. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Holloway.
