Title: Machiavelli: The Art of Teaching People What to Fear

Author: Patrick Boucheron

Narrator: Mack Sanderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:22:13

Language: English

Release date: 12-01-20

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Law & Politics, Europe, Philosophy

Summary:

In a series of poignant vignettes, a preeminent historian makes a compelling case for Machiavelli as an unjustly maligned figure with valuable political insights that resonate as strongly today as they did in his time.

Whenever a tempestuous period in history begins, Machiavelli is summoned, because he is known as one for philosophizing in dark times. In fact, since his death in 1527, we have never ceased to read him to pull ourselves out of torpors. But what do we really know about this man apart from the term invented by his detractors to refer to that political evil, Machiavellianism?

It was Machiavellis luck to be disappointed by every statesman he encountered throughout his lifethat was why he had to write The Prince. If the book endeavors to dissociate political action from common morality, the question still remains today of, not why, but for whom did Machiavelli write this? Was it for princes or for those who want to resist them? Is the art of governing to take power or to keep it? And what is meant by the people? Can they govern themselves? Beyond cynical advice for the powerful, Machiavelli meditates profoundly on the idea of popular sovereignty because the people know best who oppresses them.

With verve and a delightful erudition, Patrick Boucheron sheds light on the life and works of this unclassifiable visionary, illustrating how we can continue to use him as a guide in times of crisis.

Title: Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All Is Lost

Author: Michael Walsh

Narrator: Michael Walsh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:42:38

Language: English

Release date: 12-01-20

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

Award-winning author Michael Walsh celebrates the masculine attributes of heroism that forged American civilization and Western culture by exploring historical battles in which soldiers chose death over dishonor.

In our time, men are increasingly denied their heritage as warriors. A survival instinct thats part of the human condition, the drive to wage war is natural. Without war, neither the United States nor any other country would exist. The technology that has eased manual labor, extended life spans, and become an integral part of our lives and culture has often evolved from wartime scientific advancements. War is necessary to defend the social and political principles that define the virtues and freedoms of America and other Western nations. We should not be ashamed of the heroes who sacrificed their lives to build a better world. We should honor them.

The son of a Korean War veteran of the Inchon landing and the battle of the Chosin Reservoir with the US Marine Corps, Michael Walsh knows all about heroism, valor, and the call of duty that requires men to fight for something greater than themselves to protect their families, countrymen, and most of all their fellow soldiers. In Last Stands, Walsh reveals the causes, outcomes, and lasting legacies of more than a dozen battles in which a small fighting force refused to surrender to a far larger force, often dying to the last man.

From the Spartans defiance at Thermopylae and Rolands epic defense of Charlemagnes rear guard at Roncevaux Pass, through Santa Annas siege of the Alamodefended by Davy Crockett and Jim Bowieto the clash at the Little Big Horn between Crazy Horses Sioux Nation and George Armstrong Custers Seventh Cavalry, to the Soviets titanic struggle against the German Wehrmacht at Stalingrad, and more, Walsh reminds us of the debt we owe to heroes willing to risk their lives against overwhelming oddsand how these sacrifices and battles are not only a part of military history but also of our common civilizational heritage.

Six months ago, Helle Madsen would have described herself as normal. Now she no longer knows if that terms applies, not after her entire life has been turned upside down by the reappearance of two men from her very, very distant past.

Helle Madsen never believed in mumbo-jumbo stuff like reincarnationuntil she came face-to-face with Jason Morris, a man who purportedly had spent fifty lives looking for her. Coping with being reunited with the lover from her ancient past was one thing. Having Sam Woolf, her vindictive nemesis from that same ancient past join the party was a bit too much. Suddenly, Helle finds herself the reluctant heroine of a far-flung, time-transcending epic story, one in which pain and loss seem to play a very big part.

This time around, Jason and Helle are determined to make it to their happily ever after. Unfortunately, Sam Woolf will stop at nothing to crush them. That ride into the golden sunset seems awfully far away at times
