The shocking true story of a young woman forced into spying for Russia under the KBG. What would make you agree to work as a KGB agent? Love, blackmail, desperation? For this young woman, there is only one thing that could make her agree to a life of service under the brutal regime that she hates. They took her baby.

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Filled with deep insights and never-before-seen details, Trump in Exile is an explosive, all-access account from behind the scenes at Mar-a-Lago as former president Donald Trump regroups from an election defeat that he refuses to acknowledge and plots his return. The Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, put a horrific closing note on a norm-shattering presidency, as the twice-impeached Donald Trump rode a wave of denial and resentment out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and crashed back at Mar-a-Lago—seemingly wounded, seemingly done.   But he wasn’t. And what, exactly, was he building in there?   Meridith McGraw vividly chronicles the incredible period of Trump’s exile in South Florida—a postpresidency like no other in American history—and brings us inside the gilded walls of his private club, where an alternate reality in which the 2020 election was stolen became Republican Party orthodoxy. How did the country go from Trump’s political banishment to his renewed dominance over his party, as he effortlessly destroyed the once-formidable Ron DeSantis and now stands on the verge of returning to the White House—all while facing the heavy shadow of multiple federal and state criminal indictments? The Mar-a-Lago period is essential for understanding Trump’s implausible resurgence and the many missed opportunities to stop him.   From a reporter who has covered the Trump era from its beginning, through the White House years, to his 2024 campaign, Meridith McGraw’s Trump in Exile is riveting contemporary history, vital to our understanding of this defining American moment.

From Newton's impoverished childhood on the streets of Oakland to his adolescence and struggles with the system, from his role in the Black Panthers to his solitary confinement in the Alameda County Jail, Revolutionary Suicide is unrepentant and thought-provoking in its portrayal of inspired radicalism.

Title: The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon: The Life and Times of Washington’s Most Private First Lady

Author: Heath Hardage Lee

Narrator: Jane Oppenheimer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 14 hours 7 minutes

Release date: August 6, 2024

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

A new, revolutionary look into the brilliant life of Pat Nixon. In America’s collective consciousness, Pat Nixon has long been perceived as enigmatic. She was voted “Most Admired Woman in the World” in 1972 and made Gallup Poll’s top ten list of most admired women fourteen times. She survived the turmoil of the Watergate scandal with her popularity and dignity intact. The real Pat Nixon, however, bore little resemblance to the woman so often described as elusive, mysterious and “plastic” in the press. Pat married Richard Nixon in June of 1940. As the couple rose to prominence, Pat became Second Lady from 1953-1961 and then First Lady from 1969-1974, forging her own graceful path between the protocols of the strait-laced mid-century and the bra-burning Sixties and Seventies. Pat was a highly travelled First Lady, visiting eighty-three countries during her tenure. After a devastating earthquake in Peru in 1970, she personally flew in medical supplies and food to hard-hit areas, meeting one-on-one with victims of the tragedy. The First Lady’s 1972 trips with her husband to China and to Russia were critical to the detente that resulted. Back in the US, Pat greatly expanded upon previous preservation efforts in the White House, obtaining more art and antique objects than any other First Lady. In the domestic arena, she was progressive on women’s issues, favoring the Equal Rights Amendment and backing a targeted effort to get more women into high level government jobs. Pat strongly supported nominating a woman for the Supreme Court. She was pro-choice, supporting women’s reproductive rights publicly even before the landmark Roe v. Wade case in 1973. When asked to define her “signature” First Lady agenda, she defied being put into a box, often saying: “People are my project.” The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon, Heath Hardage Lee presents listeners with the essential nature of this First Lady, an empathetic, adventurous, self-made woman who wanted no power or influence, but who connected warmly with both ordinary Americans and people from different cultures she encountered world-wide. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Title: Midnight in Moscow: A Memoir from the Front Lines of Russia's War Against the West

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

A memoir of service by the American ambassador who was on the diplomatic front lines when Putin invaded Ukraine, Midnight in Moscow is the first behind-the-scenes account of how U.S.-Russia relations hit their nadir—and a playbook for our unfolding confrontation. For weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, John J. Sullivan, the U.S. ambassador in Moscow, was warning that it would happen. When troops finally crossed the border, he was woken in the middle of the night with a prearranged code. The signal was even more bracing than the February cold: it meant that Sullivan needed to collect his bodyguards and get to the embassy as soon as possible. The war had begun, and the world would never be the same. In Midnight in Moscow, Sullivan leads readers into the offices of the U.S. embassy and the halls of the Kremlin during this climactic period—among the most dangerous since World War II. He shows how the Putin regime repeatedly lied about its intentions to invade Ukraine in the weeks leading up to the attack, while also devoting huge numbers of personnel and vast resources to undermining the U.S. diplomatic mission in Russia. And he explains how, when Putin ultimately gave the order to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, he proved that Russia was not just at war with its neighbor: it was also at war, in a very real sense, with the United States, and with everything that it represents. But while Putin decided how this conflict started, its ending will be shaped by us.   With his unique perspective on a pivotal moment in world history, Sullivan shows how our relationship with Russia has deteriorated, where it’s headed, and how far we should be prepared to go in standing up to the menace in Moscow.

Title: [Spanish] - El tigre de Nazar: 'Había que ser fanático como ellos'

Author: Gustavo Castillo García

Narrator: Miguel Guerrero

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 30 minutes

Release date: August 1, 2024

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Miguel Nazar Haro tenía una fijación con los tigres: se identificaba con uno tenía uno en su oficina lo usaba para torturar a sus detenidos Nazar Haro podría ser la personificación de la oscuridad: dirigió la institución considerada más perversa en la historia de México —la Dirección Federal de Seguridad— durante el tiempo en que ésta destrozó a activistas y desapareció a cientos de guerrilleros, opositores y estudiantes; además, creó la Brigada Blanca y para los que él consideraba “enemigos del sistema” fue el rostro más represivo y corrupto del Estado… Este libro reconstruye su historia. Es el resultado de un gran número de entrevistas realizadas entre febrero de 1993 y diciembre de 2011 al extitular de la extinta DFS. El Tigre retrata su niñez, su adolescencia, su vida como agente, su anticomunismo, su pasado poderoso y útil para los hombres que dirigieron este país, así como su caída y abandono por parte de aquellos con quienes colaboró, como Luis Echeverría Álvarez. En estas páginas —que sólo ahora se pueden dar a conocer— está la historia que llevó a su detención en febrero de 2004, su retorno a la libertad y su muerte por tristeza.

Title: Mr. Churchill in the White House: The Untold Story of a Prime Minister and Two Presidents

Author: Robert Schmuhl

Narrator: Paul Boehmer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 46 minutes

Release date: July 30, 2024

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to 'General Ike,' as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do). Mr. Churchill in the White House presents a new perspective on the politician, war leader, and author through his intimate involvement with one Democratic and one Republican president during his two terms as prime minister. Indeed, Churchill had his own 'Special Relationship' with these two presidents. Diaries, letters, government documents, and memoirs supply the archival foundation and color for each Churchill visit, providing a wholly novel perspective on one of history's most perplexing and many-faceted figures.

Title: The Gunman And His Mother: Lee Harvey Oswald, Marguerite Oswald, and the Making of an Assassin

Author: Steven Beschloss

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 58 minutes

Release date: July 30, 2024

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

The narrative of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been told from many points of view, most significantly in the wave of books exploring the Warren Commission's findings and the conspiracy theories that followed. But for journalist Steven Beschloss, the story of Lee Harvey Oswald began with the troubled bond with his mother. Drawing on public records, key interviews with Marguerite Oswald and other family members, and Lee's own writing and statements, Beschloss traces the origins of an American tragedy back to the lonely boy who couldn't find a way to belong and the unstable mother. Often left to his own devices, young Oswald read heavily, skipped school, and hatched plans to make his mark on the world. The Gunman and His Mother reveals the complex parental relationship that turned a boy into a killer responsible for a crime that changed American history. This updated edition includes material from never-before-seen files containing Marguerite Oswald's personal writings, as well as a series of lawsuits Marguerite brought against various people. Not only do these documents complete the portrait of Lee's mother, but given her attacks on the media, conspiratorial mindset, and her sense of grievance, their inclusion sheds new light on our current political climate.

Title: Being Hindu Being Indian: Lala Lajpat Rai’s Ideas of Nationhood

Author: Vanya Vaidehi Bhargava

Narrator: Vasundhara Bose

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 19 hours 30 minutes

Release date: July 30, 2024

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

In popular imagination, Lala Lajpat Rai is frequently associated with Bhagat Singh, who, by assassinating J.P. Saunders, avenged Rai’ s death, caused by a police lathi charge, and was hanged for it. Lajpat Rai is also remembered for his fervent opposition to British rule.In recent decades, however, historians have converged with the Hindu Right in rediscovering Lajpat Rai as an ideological ancestor of Hindutva. But what then explains Rai’ s wholehearted approval of the Congress– Muslim League cooperation, and attempt to endow Hindus and Muslims with bonds of common belonging? Why did he reinterpret India’ s medieval history to highlight peaceful coexistence between Hindus and Muslims? Have our hasty conclusions about Lajpat Rai’ s nationalist thought concealed its complexities and distorted our understanding of nationalism in general?Meticulously researched and eloquently written, Being Hindu, Being Indian offers the first comprehensive examination of Lajpat Rai’ s nationalist thought. By revealing the complexities of Rai’ s thinking, it provokes us to think more deeply about broader questions relevant to present-day politics: Are all expressions of ‘ Hindu nationalism’ the same as Hindutva? What are the similarities and differences between ‘ Hindu’ and ‘ Indian’ nationalism? Can communalism and secularism be expressed together? How should we understand fluidity in politics? This book invites readers to treat Lajpat Rai’ s ideas as a gateway to think more deeply about history, politics, religious identity and nationhood.
