Title: Decisive Moments in History: The Manhattan Project

Language: English

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

*Includes over 20 pictures of the important people, places, and events associated with the Manhattan Project. In the 19th century, the Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle famously wrote, "The history of the world is but the biography of great men", popularizing the Great Man theory that the course of history is shaped by a select few heroic individuals. While historians and others continue to debate the accuracy of the Great Man theory of history, there is no question that the course of history is permanently altered by decisive moments in time, where a different result would have produced drastically different outcomes. Charles River Editors Decisive Moments in History examines the events that changed history forever and set the world down the path it finds itself on today. During World War II, the free world literally hung in the balance, with the Axis and Allies engaging in warfare on an unprecedentedly violent scale. Tens of millions would die as the warring powers raced to create the best fighter planes, tanks, and guns. Eventually that race extended to bombs which carried enough power to destroy civilization itself. While the war raged in Europe and the Pacific, a dream team of Nobel Laureates was working on a project so secretive that vice president Harry Truman didnt know of it when he took the presidency after FDRs death. This secretive project, The Manhattan Project, would ultimately yield the Little Boy and Fat Man bombs that released more than 100 Terajoules of energy at Hiroshima and Nagaski; changing the course of the War and the course of civilization. Decisive Moments in History: The Manhattan Project covers the beginning of atomic research prior to the Manhattan Project, the exodus of talented scientists fleeing Nazi Germany throughout Europe, and the history and results of the grand project that ushered in the Atomic Age. Along with pictures of the important p

A cento anni dalla Rivoluzione russa, Ezio Mauro ritorna nei luoghi protagonisti dell'insurrezione popolare che ha rovesciato la direzione della storia.

Title: World War 2 History: True War Crimes of the Gestapo: Stories of the Feared German Police Force (Waffen Book 1)

Author: William Myron Price

Narrator: Nolan Barger

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-10-17

Publisher: William Myron Price

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

True War Crimes of the Gestapo: Stories of the Feared German Police Force...

The Gestapo were the secret police that Hitler instituted to ferret out spies and other people who did not fall in line with his ideologies; if, for instance, someone was suspected of being of Jewish origin, Hitler would send the Gestapo to round them up, take them into custody, interrogate them - often with violent and painful methods - and then either kill or send them to a concentration camp where they would probably die in any case.

When the Second World War came to an end, the Gestapo was found to be responsible for the deaths of millions of people. At the Nuremberg Trials, where most of the WW2 criminals were put on trial and then punished, the Gestapo was declared to be an official criminal organization and many of their leaders were convicted of a number of war crimes.

In the end, the German secret police force was an organization that struck terror and fear into the hearts of all civilians. What made them so effective was not just their field skills or their ability to complete their mission, but the fact that they enjoyed what they did and truly believed in the skewered Nazi ideology of racism and Anti-Semitism.

We will look at some of the horrific stories of the Gestapo, where they destroyed thousands of innocents and trace the lives of a few individual police offers who are known for their brutality and their cruelty during the war...

Publisher's Summary:

Explore how FDR went from almost dying at birth to leading the United States through the Great Depression and World War II

As the 32nd president of the United States of America, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a common household name in both his home country and the world. Known as the man who led the United States through the Great Depression and World War II, Roosevelt was a leader and a statesman, a scholar, and a politician.

Franklin D. Roosevelt is the only president to have served for three consecutive terms and voted in for a fourth, a fact that allows him to stand out among the long list of American presidents.

Outside of his role as president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt lived a full life. He was a father and a son, a husband and a career man. He was a bank officer and attended prestigious universities - Harvard University and Columbia University Law School - before practicing law. Additionally, he served as vice president for the Fidelity and Deposit Company. Perhaps most famously, Roosevelt served as governor of New York and president of the United States while he suffered from polio. Instead of allowing the disease to keep him from living a full life, he went above and beyond, training himself to walk without the power of his legs so that his voters would not know that he suffered in any capacity.

What this audiobook aims to do is determine who Franklin D. Roosevelt was as a person outside of the spotlight. This audiobook wants to answer questions about this man. How did he interact with his wife and family? What were his exploits and his vices? His favored hobbies?

Franklin Roosevelt: A Captivating Guide to the Life of FDR is an outline of Franklin D. Roosevelt's life that not only gives a brief overview of his best-known feats but also provides a glimpse into who he was as a person.

Title: Hitler's Generals in America: Nazi POWs and Allied Military Intelligence

Author: Derek R. Mallett

Narrator: Steve Rausch

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-22-17

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

In Hitler's Generals in America, Derek R. Mallett examines the evolution of the relationship between American officials and the Wehrmacht general officers they held as prisoners of war in the United States between 1943 and 1946. During the early years of the war, British officers spied on the German officers in their custody, housing them in elegant estates separate from enlisted soldiers, providing them with servants and cooks, and sometimes becoming their confidants in order to obtain intelligence. The Americans, on the other hand, lacked the class awareness shared by British and German officers. They ignored their German general officer prisoners, refusing them any special treatment.

By the end of the war, however, the United States had begun to envision itself as a world power rather than one of several allies providing aid during wartime. Mallett demonstrates how a growing admiration for the German officers' prowess and military traditions, coupled with postwar anxiety about Soviet intentions, drove Washington to collaborate with many Wehrmacht general officers. Drawing on newly available sources, this intriguing book vividly demonstrates how Americans undertook the complex process of reconceptualizing Germans?even Nazi generals?as allies against what they perceived as their new enemy, the Soviet Union.

The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky.

"A thrilling new treatment of the 'captive mind.'" (Günter Bischof, Marshall Plan Professor of History and Director of CenterAustria at the University of New Orleans)

"Stunning in its breadth and clarity." (Robert C. Doyle, author of The Enemy in Our Hands: America's Treatment of Prisoners of War from the Revolution to the War on Terror)

"Mallett's provocative analysis makes for intriguing reading." (Robert D. Billinger Jr., author of Nazi POWs in the Tar Heel State)

Title: Courage

Subtitle: Roy Blanchard's Journey in America's Forgotten War

Author: Paul T. Dean

Narrator: Paul T. Dean

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-05-17

Publisher: Made for Success

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

In May of 1918, 19-year-old Roy Blanchard marched toward the sound of artillery with the American 126th Infantry Regiment on a narrow French road thousands of miles from his home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. World War I had been raging for nearly four years, sending millions of young men to an early grave. America's inexperienced "Doughboys", including Roy, were marching toward the Western Front, determined to help their allies hold the line against the coming waves of German soldiers. The artillery crashed louder around them as they approached the front. As Roy heard the deafening explosions, he wondered if he would have the courage to face a machine gun nest, suffer through hours of shelling, or charge "over the top".

World War I is difficult to grasp for many Americans. Most WWI soldiers didn't keep a diary, and few spoke of what they saw and experienced. Through Courage, listeners will understand what pulled the world into this devastating conflict, see why the United States came out of isolation to side with the Allies, and gain a personal look into the lives of WWI fighters. Through the eyes of Roy Blanchard, listeners will see, hear, and feel what it was like to bravely face the terror of the First World War.

Title: Return of the Dambusters

Subtitle: The Exploits of World War II's Most Daring Flyers After the Flood

Author: John Nichol

Narrator: Shaun Grindell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-15-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

The Dambusters were the go-to forces for dangerous precision attacks: They bombed Hitler's prize battleship, Tirpitz, as well as rocket sites, weapon strongholds, and the dams at the heart of the industrial Ruhr; they targeted enemy leaders including Hitler and Mussolini; and they created a false fleet on D-day, which fooled the Germans. But they also suffered brutal losses, with 75 percent of 617 Squadron killed in action by the end of the war.

In this awe-inspiring audiobook, John Nichol, himself a former RAF flight lieutenant, retraces the path of 617 Squadron's most dangerous sorties, the ones largely lost to history. Including personal stories of the surviving Dambusters, Return of the Dambusters is a tense, poignant story of courage by men who braved death in the name of freedom.

Critic Reviews:

A straightforward account considers all sides to these precise missions. (Kirkus)

Title: Reagan and the World

Narrator: Kirk O. Winkler

Format: Unabridged

Release date: 08-15-17

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Throughout his presidency, Ronald Reagan sought "peace through strength" during an era of historic change. In the decades since, pundits and scholars have argued over the president's legacy: some consider Reagan a charismatic and consummate leader, who renewed American strength and defeated communism. To others he was an ambitious and dangerous warmonger, whose presidency was plagued with mismanagement, misconduct, and foreign policy failures. The recent declassification of Reagan administration records, and the availability of new Soviet documents, has created an opportunity for more nuanced, complex, and compelling analyses of this pivotal period in international affairs.

In Reagan and the World, leading scholars and national security professionals offer fresh interpretations of the fortieth president's influence on American foreign policy. This collection addresses Reagan's management of the US national security establishment, as well as the influence of Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger and others, in the administration and Congress. The contributors present in-depth explorations of US-Soviet relations and American policy toward Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East.

The audiobook is published by The University Press of Kentucky.

"Filled with lessons for current and future leaders. Its authors help us understand how the past shapes the world today, including the intricate US relationship with Russia." (Admiral James G. Stavridis, U.S. Navy (ret.), former Supreme Allied Commander, NATO)

"Coleman and Longley have assembled a terrific line-up of contributors, and both are accomplished scholars whose reputations and skills enhance this valuable contribution to understanding a contested presidency." (Richard H. Immerman, author of Empire for Liberty)

Full list of authors includes Ronald Granieri, James R. Locher III, Archie Brown, James Cooper, William Hitchcock, David F. Patton, Evan R. Ward, Charles Brower IV, and Ryan Carpenter.
