Publisher's Summary:

From a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who reported on the events as the happened, an action-packed account of Reagan's failures in the 1983 Marines barracks bombing in Beirut. On October 23, 1983, a truck bomb destroyed the U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut. 241 Americans were killed in the worst terrorist attack our nation would suffer until 9/11. We're still feeling the repercussions today. When Reagan Sent In the Marines tells why the Marines were there, how their mission became confused and compromised, and how President Ronald Reagan used another misguided military venture to distract America from the attack and his many mistakes leading up to it. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Patrick J. Sloyan uses his own contemporaneous reporting, his close relationships with the Marines in Beirut, recently declassified documents, and interviews with key players, including Reagan's top advisers, to shine a new light on the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and Reagan's doomed ceasefire in Beirut. Sloyan draws on interviews with key players to explore the actions of Kissinger and Haig, while revealing the courage of Marine Colonel Timothy Geraghty, who foresaw the disaster in Beirut, but whom Reagan would later blame for it. More than thirty-five years later, America continues to wrestle with Lebanon, the Marines with the legacy of the Beirut bombing, and all of us with the threat of Mideast terror that the attack furthered. When Reagan Sent In The Marines is a about a historical moment, but one that remains all too present today.

Title: [Spanish] - Una España mejor

Author: Mariano Rajoy

Narrator: Mariano Rajoy

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 58 minutes

Release date: December 10, 2019

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

El primer audiolibro narrado por un Presidente del Gobierno en España. La crónica personal de la etapa de Mariano Rajoy al frente del Ejecutivo. «Ha sido un honor -no lo hay mayor- haber sido Presidente del Gobierno de España. Ha sido un honor dejar una España mejor que la que encontré.» El audiolibro de Una España mejor es la crónica personal de la etapa al frente del Ejecutivo de Mariano Rajoy, narrado por él mismo. Un testimonio imprescindible para entender los hechos decisivos de unos años en los que España se enfrentó a trances muy complejos como la amenaza del rescate, la abdicación del rey o la crisis catalana, asuntos que ocupan un lugar destacado en sus páginas. La narración del audiolibro mantiene el estilo del expresidente, gran orador, y aporta el valor de la emoción en la narración de momentos claves de nuestra historia. El audiolibro tiene una duración de 12 horas y refleja, a través de su voz, los matices de muchas de las historias que relata en primera persona e incluye el audio original de los fragmentos de los discursos que encabezan cada capítulo. Esta es la primera vez que un Presidente del Gobierno español graba su propio audiolibro, algo habitual fuera de nuestras fronteras como demuestran los ejemplos de George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Bill Clinton o Barack Obama. «Este libro responde solo a la voluntad de contar mi historia y mis vivencias desde la responsabilidad que tenía encomendada durante unos años en los que nuestro país pudo haber quebrado, pudo haberse roto, pudo haber sufrido una severa merma en su sistema de protección social o incluso pudo haber vivido una seria crisis institucional por el relevo en la Jefaturadel Estado. Todo pudo haber ocurrido, pero nada de ello sucedió. Así es como yo lo vi y como yo lo viví.». Fin de la cita.

Title: Savarkar Vol 1 (Part 1)

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 4

Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

As the intellectual fountainhead of the ideology of Hindutva, which is in political ascendancy in India today, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is undoubtedly one of the most contentious political thinkers and leaders of the twentieth century. Accounts of his eventful and stormy life have oscillated from eulogizing hagiographies to disparaging demonization. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between and has unfortunately never been brought to light. Savarkar and his ideology stood as one of the strongest and most virulent opponents of Gandhi, his pacifist philosophy and the Indian National Congress. An alleged atheist and a staunch rationalist who opposed orthodox Hindu beliefs, encouraged inter-caste marriage and dining, and dismissed cow worship as mere superstition, Savarkar was, arguably, the most vocal political voice for the Hindu community through the entire course of India's freedom struggle. From the heady days of revolution and generating international support for the cause of India's freedom as a law student in London, Savarkar found himself arrested, unfairly tried for sedition, transported and incarcerated at the Cellular Jail, in the Andamans, for over a decade, where he underwent unimaginable torture. From being an optimistic advocate of Hindu-Muslim unity in his treatise on the 1857 War of Independence, what was it that transformed him in the Cellular Jail to a proponent of 'Hindutva', which viewed Muslims with suspicion? Drawing from a vast range of original archival documents across India and abroad, this biography in two parts-the first focusing on the years leading up to his incarceration and eventual release from the Kalapani-puts Savarkar, his life and philosophy in a new perspective and looks at the man with all his achievements and failings.

Title: Free, Melania: The Unauthorized Biography

Ratings of Narrator: 3.5 of Total 2

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

This program is read by the author. The first behind-the-scenes look at the life of the most enigmatic First Lady in U.S. history. Melania Trump is an enigma. Regardless of your political leanings, she is fascinating—a First Lady who, in many ways, is the most modern and groundbreaking in recent history. A former model whose beauty in person leaves people breathless, a woman whose upbringing in a communist country spurred a relentless drive for stability, both for herself and for her family. A reluctant pillar in a controversial presidential administration who speaks five languages and runs the East Wing like none of her predecessors ever could—underestimate her at your own peril (as a former government official did and was summarily fired). But who is she really? In Free, Melania we get an insider's look at Melania Trump, from her childhood in Slovenia to her days in the White House, and everything in between. We see the Trump family dynamics that Melania has had to navigate, including her strained relationship with Ivanka. We get a rare glimpse into what goes into her famous and sometimes infamous clothing choices (including perhaps the real message behind Melania’s controversial jacket, “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?”, which she wore while visiting the U.S.-Mexico border), and how a publicly quiet Melania actually speaks very loudly—if you just know where, and how, to listen. And we get a behind-the-scenes look at her often eyebrow-raising relationship with Donald Trump, from their beginnings to becoming the most unusual First Family in modern history. Looking at Melania in the pantheon of historic First Ladies, Kate Bennett shows just how different Melania Trump is and why she matters. Bennett, an expert on First Ladies, has unparalleled access to Melania’s very small and loyal inner circle. As she shows in this audiobook, the seemingly most reluctant First Lady is, in many ways, the most compelling and complex First Lady, ever.

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 7

Ratings of Narrator: 4.75 of Total 4

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

The surprising story of how wrestling superstar Glenn 'Kane' Jacobs beat all the odds to become the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. Even in his heyday in wrestling, Jacobs was inspired to pursue politics by popular libertarian figures such as former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, Republican Senator Rand Paul, Fox News' Judge Andrew Napolitano and others, and that led him to fulfill his own political ambitions. Before becoming Mayor Kane, Glenn 'Kane' Jacobs was one of WWE's top Superstars for over two decades and traveled the globe with the likes of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, John Cena, Ric Flair, and many others. He dominated the WWE with The Undertaker as the 'Brothers of Destruction.' Kane reinvented himself with the help of Daniel Bryan forming 'Team Hell No.' He set 'Good ol' JR,' Jim Ross on fire. The wrestler-turned-politician hasn't hung up his wrestling boots yet. Politics is a contact sport and Jacobs is using his wrestling skills in that arena. Jacobs supports President Trump and his agenda, and is implementing conservative policies in Tennessee.
