Publisher's Summary:

America Needs to Give a Damn

What if America's greatest president was chosen by this generation?

What if America's greatest economic revolution was seen by this generation?

What if America put evil on its heels, on the run, and on the ash heap of history?

Are those things possible? Absolutely, but it starts with "giving a damn".

Bold, authentic, and refreshing. In 13 Reasons to Give a Damn In 2016, Brian Bosché combines his extensive knowledge of news and politics with his experience in media. He outlines 13 Reasons why Americans from across the political spectrum need to "give a damn" in 2016.

Brian believes that America's greatest strength is brokenness. Our nation's debt, problems, and division has prepared us to become a strong, united front of greatness. It's not just about 2016, but that's where it begins.

In each chapter, Brian digs deeper than the 30-second sound bites and media spin to get to the root causes of America's brokenness - and how it will lead to our country's restoration. Restoration begins with you. Are you ready to "give a damn" about America?

Insightful

America needs to take control of the direction of our government and country. The passion of the author needs to infect the voters of this great nation. Great reasons provided to ignite voter passion. Love the look backs in history. Author does a great job with narration.

Excellent Read!!! Fresh Perspective!

I loved the book along with the narration. It is fresh perspective on the brokenness of America. It answers why it's broken and how we as Americans with the proper vision can use this time of brokenness as an opportunity for good.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Was den "Islamischen Staat" so gefährlich macht

Nach seinem brutalen Eroberungszug im Jahr 2014 herrscht der "Islamische Staat" heute über mehr als fünf Millionen Menschen und eine Fläche von der Größe Großbritanniens. SPIEGEL-Korrespondent Christoph Reuter zeichnet den präzise geplanten Aufstieg der Dschihadisten nach und stößt zu den Wurzeln des Terrors vor - im zerfallenden Irak, im syrischen Bürgerkrieg und in den vielfältigen Konflikten der Region, die die Strategen des Terrors geschickt für ihre Zwecke zu nutzen wissen.

IS, der "Islamische Staat", ist weit mehr als die gefährlichste Terrorgruppe der Welt. Er ist eine Macht, die ein zuvor ungekanntes Maß an Perfektion zeigt - in seinem Handeln, seiner strategischen Planung, seinem vollkommen skrupellosen Wechsel von Allianzen und seiner präzise eingesetzten Propaganda. Der Glaube wird von den Dschihadisten zwar demonstrativ zur Schau getragen, ist für die Strategen des IS jedoch nur eines unter vielen Mitteln, ihre Macht zu erweitern.

Christoph Reuter zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie der IS so große Gebiete in Syrien und im Irak erobern konnte und wer den Dschihadisten dabei in die Hände spielte. Sein Hörbuch stützt sich auf bislang unbekannte Dokumente, vielfältige Kontakte und jahrelange Recherchen in der Region. Es bietet ungewohnte Einblicke in die Entstehung und Entwicklung des "Islamischen Staates" und macht vor allem eines deutlich: Wir sollten uns von der Propaganda des IS nicht täuschen lassen. Denn die Terrororganisation ist in vielem anders, als wir denken.

Fascinating and disturbing

An interesting account of the rise of ISIS. The author has seen the damage and talked to the survivors. But it's hard to decide whether there isn't something of a conspiracy theory at work here. He sees secular Baathists as important in constructing ISIS. It's a grab for power and the religious fanaticism is only the means. Maybe -- but I'm skeptical.

Four Stars

Guter Überblick über die Entstehung des IS und die generelle Komplexität des Nahostkonflikts.

Title: Duty

Author: Robert Gates

Narrator: George Newbern, Robert M. Gates

Format: Unabridged

Length: 25 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-28-16

Publisher: Penguin Random House UK

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

'As I look back, there is a parallel theme to my years at war: love. By that I mean the love - there is no other word for it - I came to feel for the troops and the overwhelming sense of personal responsibility I developed for them. So much so that it would shape some of my most significant decisions and positions.'

When Robert M. Gates received a call from the White House, he thought he'd long left Washington politics behind: after working for six presidents in both the CIA and the National Security Council, he was happily serving as president of Texas A&M University. But when he was asked to help a nation mired in two wars and to aid the troops doing the fighting, he answered what he felt was the call of duty.

Robert Gates was US secretary of defense from 2006 to 2011, serving under both George Bush and Barack Obama. Before that he was director of the CIA. This is his candid and revealing account of US military engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan, where Gates oversaw the controversial 'surge' of US troops in both countries. As well as this, he provides commentary on the situations in Syria, Iran, Israel and North Korea and details behind-the-scenes meetings with Bush, Cheney, Rice, Obama and other major political figures.

Mr. Gates is the only secretary of defense to serve under both a Republican and a Democratic president, and in Duty he provides an unsparing, full accounting of his tenure.

Members Reviews:

Really enjoyed it.

Very good writer...an easy read. I ordered both this book and Leon Panetta's just to compare the thoughts coming from both and Democrat and a Republican. An awakening to hear how difficult it is to run a gigantic organization. You would think the man at the top would be able to get pretty much anything done. Yes there were the political differences between Gates and Obama but that seemed to be the least of the problem. Mostly what you would expect when you have one person dealing with all of the problems of the country and the other just concerned with defense. I came away feeling very good about Gates and how he managed.

A balanced and insightful perspective

Robert Gates' 2014 memoir covering his four-and-a-half years serving as Secretary of Defense provides a balanced and insightful perspective on the enormous challenges that he faced as a cabinet member under both the Bush and Obama administrations. With a clear and organized voice, Gates shares very personal accounts of dealing with two wars, two presidents, inter-agency squabbles, a highly partisan Congress, and, above all, the military and civilian personnel who served under him during his years at the Pentagon.

The book begins with Gates's interview with Bush "43" in late 2006. Gates describes the strong sense of duty that compelled him to accept the nomination to replace Donald Rumsfeld in the late years of Bush's second term. In great detail, Gates describes the high points and the low points of the ensuring years, as his initial short-term assignment stretched into 4-1/2 years of service.

To me, the book served dual purposes. First, it provides insight into the day-to-day challenges of a senior cabinet member -- one who happens to be running a 3-million-person bureaucracy with a $700 billion annual budget.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Der Kalte Krieg ist seit über zwanzig Jahren vorbei, doch das postsowjetische Russland sucht noch immer nach einer neuen Identität. Während man im Westen nach wie vor von der Gorbatschow-Zeit schwärmt, will man sie in Russland am liebsten vergessen. Inzwischen gilt Stalin dort vielen, auch unter den Jüngeren, wieder als großer Staatsmann, wie überhaupt die sozialistische Vergangenheit immer öfter nostalgisch verklärt wird.

Für Swetlana Alexijewitsch leben die Russen gleichsam in einer Zeit des "secondhand", der gebrauchten Ideen und Worte. Wie ein vielstimmiger Chor erzählen die Menschen von der radikalen gesellschaftlichen Umwälzung in den zurückliegenden Jahren.

Title: Taking the Hell Out of Healthcare

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-02-15

Publisher: Self-published

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Mary was admitted to a tertiary hospital for open heart surgery. The surgery did not go well and had to be repeated the following day. Then her physician placed her in a drug-induced coma for 10 days, transferred her to a specialty care hospital for a month where she contracted what could have been a terminal infection, and was placed on 15 different medications that had her in a near vegetative state. These drugs had been prescribed by five different, independent physicians who had not checked the necessary drug interaction information. All of this proved, once again, that the system is broken. We are treating organs, not people. As the patient's advocate, we had Mary weaned from the majority of these dangerous and mostly unnecessary drugs, lobbied for her physical therapy, and helped nurture her back to health. Exactly one year later, she is at her daughter's home and doing just fine.

He wanted a better way for his own patients entering his hospital doors

Mr. Jacobs did an outstanding job articulating his passion to serve readers wanting to be empowered as their own health advocate. He wanted a better way for his own patients entering his hospital doors. And he truly created an optimal healing environment and knows it can be done. Kudos to him for thinking outside the box.

Excellent read! Mr Jacobs has written such a helpful handbook on hospital care, that allows you to pick up anywhere in the book and it applies to your situation. It is truly a unique perspective on healthcare today and the challenges that face so many of us. Easy to read and very helpful.

A GREAT read!

I loved, loved, loved this book! I have worked on thr medical and the administrative side of healthcare. Jacobs couldn't be more spot on! A great read!

Taking the Hell Out of Healthcare

From his extensive healthcare executive experiences, Nick Jacobs writes an eye opening, insightful guide that will bring value to all whom read it.

I would recommend this quick and well laid out read to anyone who has an interest in improving the care and service of their healthcare facility and organization.

One Star

The rating speaks for itself. Jacobs does a disservice to both patients and healthcare workers.

Title: American Will

Subtitle: The Forgotten Choices That Changed Our Republic

Author: Bobby Jindal

Narrator: Kirby Heyborne, Bobby Jindal - introduction

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-20-15

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, a much-talked-about 2016 presidential candidate, offers 14 lessons from our nation's past and discusses how they can be used to restore American courage, faith, and wisdom.

In American Will, Governor Jindal brings to life some of the greatest lessons in our nation's history and explores how they have defined our current state of affairs - including the exciting story behind the Louisiana Purchase, the conflict between the Federalists and anti-Federalists, Reagan vs. Nixon's welfare fight, and how the Cold War was nearly lost. Each event relates back to a moment in Governor Jindal's career where he had to make an important decision for the people of Louisiana.

Among the many topics covered in this audiobook are elective wars overseas, the size of government, church and state, freedom of religion, American exceptionalism, the nature of our enemies, and the consequences of a divided Republican Party. These important issues continue to define our country's legacy, and Governor Jindal will use his strong sense of history, purpose, and direction to guide his decisions now and in the years to come.

The next great turning point in American history will be the 2016 presidential election. Will we elect a follower or a leader? Will we pick a cynic or a statesman? Will we choose a politician or a problem solver? American Will's dramatic tales illuminate the courage, faith, and vision that we need in 2016 - and the government folly, corruption, and myopia that jeopardize our future.

Title: Becoming Libertarian

Author: J. D. Lovil

Narrator: Chris Leonard

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-04-15

Publisher: JD Lovil

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

If you are tired of dirty politicians, you could be a Libertarian!

Modern politics has become a zero sum game. You can be a Democrat, and vote for an agenda that is becoming increasingly socialistic in nature. You can be a Republican, and vote for an agenda that is intrusive in the lives of the citizenry in areas concerning privacy, personal rights and the general right to say no to demands placed upon the people by the government.

You can vote as an independent. But not only is the vote in a pool too small to elect your candidate, it steals that one vote from the guy running in one of the two dominate parties that is closest to your viewpoint.

Many people in this country will vote for one or the other of the two main parties, but have viewpoints that are more in the camp of a Libertarian view. If you support laws which increase your right to do as you want to, as long as it does not hurt anyone else, you might be a Libertarian. If you also believe that other people should be able to do what they want to as long as they do not hurt anyone, and you do not believe that you or anyone else has the right to tell them what to do, you are most likely a Libertarian!

Members Reviews:

good

Excellent introduction to understand the concept of being a libertarian. Good idea to append the constitution and amendments. I recommend this book.

I'm fascinated by the libertarian mindset.

However, absolute libertarianism seems to me to be impractical. We need to laws and control, but our current government thinks he can do everything for us. Too much so. I'd hope we could hit a happy medium, but most of our politicians are only there to get rich!

A Good Addition to My Political Library . . .

It was a quick read, and full of good information. Hopefully, it will be read by a liberal leaning

individual and will open their eyes to common sense.

Here is a better description of this book than given above.

Very, very, very, short read. Almost poetic. More or less an op-ed. Consists intuitive but not original ideas, a bit of nights thoughts. This "book" is a fair introduction to Libertarianism for those unfamiliar or mistaken.

Beyond that description, I was quit disappointed by the lack of new ideas, research to be associated, and new ideas/personal thought involved. The bulk of the pages are the US constitution.

I would recommend to an anti-libertarian zealot, who has a misconception of what a Libertarian is(or should be)

I give three stars because it is good to read, but misrepresented by its title and description (to me) leading me to by it unnecessarily.
