Title: Bose: The Untold Story (Part 2): The Untold Story Of An Inconvenient Nationalist Author: Chandrachur Ghose Narrator: Dev J. Haldar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 2, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: A comprehensive and gripping narrative' Vikram Sampath, author, historian and Fellow of Royal Historical Society'A must-read' Sandeep Unnithan, managing editor, India TodayThere are not many Indian heroes whose lives have been as dramatic and adventurous as that of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. That, however, is an assessment of his life based on what is widely known about him. These often revolve around his resignation from the Indian Civil Service, joining the freedom movement, to be exiled twice for over seven years, throwing a challenge to the Gandhian leadership in the Congress, taking up an extremist position against the British Raj, evading the famed intelligence network to travel to Europe and then to Southeast Asia, forming two Governments and raising two armies and then disappearing into the unknown. All this in a span of just two decades.Now, new information throws light on Bose's intense political activities surrounding the revolutionary groups in Bengal, Punjab, Maharashtra and United Provinces, his efforts to bridge the increasing communal divide and his influence among the splintered political landscape; his outlook and relations with women; his plunge into the depths of spirituality; his penchant for covert operations and his efforts to engineer a rebellion among the Indian armed forces. With this new information, what appeared to be dramatic now becomes more intense with plots and subplots under one man's single-minded focus on freeing the motherland and envisioning its development in a new era.Furthermore, one of the most sensitive issues that have prevented political parties and successive governments from talking much about Bose is his joining the Axis camp. While Jawaharlal Nehru and other prominent Congress leaders publicly denounced the move, the Communist Party of India went on to a prolonged vilification campaign. Sardar Patel issued instruction to Congress leaders to defend the INA soldiers without eulogizing their leader.Was Bose really a Nazi sympathiser? Knowing very well about the strong public opinion that existed among the political leadership and the intelligentsia in India against Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and imperial Japan, why did he risk his own political image by allying with the Axis powers?Pacey, thought-provoking and absolutely unputdownable, Bose: The Untold Story of an Inconvenient Nationalist will open a window to many hitherto untold and unknown stories of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.Probably the first critical biography of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose till date.

Title: [German] - Selenskyj: Die Biografie Author: Wojciech Rogacin Narrator: Markus Sulzbacher Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 29, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Als Wolodymyr Selenskyj – bis dahin ein populärer Schauspieler und Comedian – 2019 überraschend die ukrainische Präsidentschaftswahl gewann, ging die Welt davon aus, dass er ein schwaches Staatsoberhaupt sein und sich vom Kreml mithilfe der Oligarchen leicht lenken lassen würde. Doch das Gegenteil war der Fall: Selenskyj erwies sich als Mann mit Rückgrat, als mutig und unbeugsam. Im Angesicht des russischen Überfalls auf die Ukraine wurde er zu einem wahren Staatsmann, der selbst seinen Feinden Respekt abringt. Doch wie viel wissen wir von dem charismatischen Präsidenten, dessen standhafter Kampf gegen den russischen Aggressor weltweit Bewunderung hervorruft? Wie sah seine Kindheit aus, sein Elternhaus, sein Freundeskreis? Wie verlief seine Karriere als Schauspieler? Wann und warum beschloss Selenskyj, die politische Bühne zu betreten? Und wer ist seine Frau Olena, die mit ihm Schritt hält und als First Lady der Ukraine die gleiche Hochachtung genießt wie ihr Mann? Was für ein Präsident war er vor Ausbruch des Krieges und welche Eigenschaften haben es ihm ermöglicht, zu dem Staatsmann zu werden, auf den die wichtigsten westlichen Politiker zählen und der Millionen Follower auf Instagram hat? Unabhängig davon, wie der Krieg verlaufen wird, hat sich Selenskyj bereits jetzt in die Geschichte eingeschrieben als ein furchtloser und standhafter Anführer, der den ungleichen Kampf zur Verteidigung von Würde und Recht auf ein Leben in Freiheit – und nicht unter dem russischen Stiefel – aufgenommen hat.

I walked into work, and I was already in the Oval Office talking to President Trump.It was rarely medical, to be honest with you; it was whatever was going on in the news. I’d be the first person he’d see in the morning. The president was completing tasks two to three hours before anybody else showed up in the West Wing to work. He’d get up at five o’clock in the morning and would be watching TV, tweeting, making phone calls, and doing all types of other tasks.President Trump would poke his head into my office or I’d walk out, and we would say, “Good morning. Did you see this or that?” He was always asking me about things on TV and what was going on, from Iran to Stormy Daniels.He’d say, “Walk with me.” So I’d walk him to the Oval Office, and we’d talk about everything. I’d walk out through the outer Oval Office and the chief of staff, national security advisor, and even the CIA briefer would be standing there, waiting to get in and talk to him. I’d walk out, they’d walk in, and his day would start. I was the first person he saw every morning and the last person he saw every evening when he went to bed.

Title: Red Sky Morning: The Epic True Story of Texas Ranger Company F Author: Joe Pappalardo Narrator: Chris Abell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 20 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The explosive and bloody true history of Texas Rangers Company F, hard men who risked their lives to bring justice to a lawless frontier Between 1886 and 1888, Sgt. James Brooks of Texas Ranger Company F was engaged in three fatal gunfights, endured disfiguring bullet wounds, engaged in countless manhunts, was convicted for second-degree murder, and rattled Washington, DC, with a request for a pardon from the US president. His story anchors the tale of Joe Pappalardo’s Red Sky Morning, an epic saga of lawmen and criminals set in Texas during the waning years of the “Old West.” Alongside Brooks are the Rangers of Company F, who range from a pious teetotaller to a cowboy fleeing retribution for killing a man. They are all led by Captain William Scott, who cut his teeth as a freelance undercover informant but is now facing the end of his Ranger career. Company F hunts criminals across Texas and beyond, killing them as needed, and are confident they can bring anyone to “Ranger justice.” But Brooks’s men may have met their match in the Conner family, East Texas master hunters and jailbreakers who are wanted for their part in a bloody family feud. The full story of Company F’s showdown with the Conner family is finally being told, with long-dead voices being heard for the first time. This truly hidden history paints the grim picture of neighbors and relatives becoming snitches and bounty hunters, and a company of Texas Rangers who waded into the conflict only to find themselves over their heads—and in the fight of their lives.

Title: Manhattan Cult Story: My Unbelievable True Story of Sex, Crimes, Chaos, and Survival Author: Spencer Schneider Narrator: Austin Rising Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 1 minute Release date: July 5, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.68 of Total 37 Ratings of Narrator: 3.7 of Total 10 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Right under the noses of neighbors, clients, spouses, children, and friends, a secret society, simply called School—a cult of snared Manhattan professionals—has been led by the charismatic, sociopathic, and dangerous leader Sharon Gans for decades. Spencer Schneider was recruited in the eighties, and he stayed for more than twenty-three years as his life disintegrated, his self-esteem eroded, and he lined the pockets of Gans and her cult. Cult members met twice weekly, though they never acknowledged one another outside of meetings or gatherings. In the name of inner development, they endured the horrors of mental, sexual, and physical abuse, forced labor, arranged marriages, swindled inheritances and savings, and systematic terrorizing. Some of them broke the law. All for Gans. “During those years,” Schneider writes, “my world was School. That’s what it’s like when you’re in a cult, even one that preys on and caters to New York’s educated elite. This is my story of how I got entangled in School and how I got out.” At its core, Manhattan Cult Story is a cautionary tale of how hundreds of well-educated, savvy, and prosperous New Yorkers became fervent followers of a brilliant but demented cult leader who posed as a teacher of ancient knowledge. It’s about double-lives, the power of group psychology, and how easy it is to be radicalized—all too relevant in today's atmosphere of conspiracy and ideologue worship.

Green, Jeffrey Crouch Narrator: Mike Lenz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 44 minutes Release date: July 1, 2022 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In Newt Gingrich: The Rise and Fall of a Party Entrepreneur, political scientists Matthew N. Green and Jeffrey Crouch draw from newly uncovered archival material, original interviews, and other data to provide a fresh and insightful look at Gingrich's entire congressional career. Green and Crouch argue that Gingrich is best understood as a 'party entrepreneur,' someone who works primarily to achieve their congressional party's collective goals. From the moment he entered Congress, Gingrich was laser-focused on achieving two party-related objectives—a Republican majority in the House and a more conservative society—as well as greater influence for himself. Using a conceptual framework taken from theories of military strategy, the authors explain how Gingrich initially struggled because of a mismatch between his lofty goals and the resources available to him. After years of patiently cultivating allies, tempering his immediate objectives, and waiting for favorable circumstances to emerge, Gingrich finally claimed victory in 1994, with Republicans winning control of the House and electing Gingrich as Speaker. Yet while Gingrich had been creative, patient, and ultimately successful at gaining power for himself and his party, he proved ineffective at balancing his goals with the demands of the Speakership, and he resigned from Congress just four years later.
