Title: Cochrane

Subtitle: The Real Master and Commander

Author: David Cordingly

Narrator: John Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-12-07

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 117 votes

Genres: History, World

Publisher's Summary:

Nicknamed le loup des mers ("the sea wolf") by Napoleon, Thomas Cochrane was one of the most daring and successful naval heroes of all time. In this fascinating account of Cochrane's life, historian David Cordingly unearths startling new details about the real-life "Master and Commander", from his daring exploits against the French navy to his role in the liberation of Chile, Peru, and Brazil, and the shock exchange scandal that forced him out of England and almost ended his naval career. Drawing on previously unpublished papers, his own travels, wide reading, and the kind of original research that distinguished The Billy Ruffian, Cordingly tells the rip-roaring story of the archetypal romantic hero who conquered the seas and, in the process, defined his era.

Critic Reviews:

"Cordingly...tells Cochrane's story with flair and sympathy." (

Publishers Weekly)"[Listeners] can practically smell the salt air as Cordingly re-creates the age of sail." (

Title: Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms

Subtitle: Journeys into the Disappearing Religions of the Middle East

Author: Gerard Russell

Narrator: Michael Page

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-13-15

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 60 votes

Genres: History, World

Publisher's Summary:

Despite its reputation for religious intolerance, the Middle East has long sheltered many distinctive and strange faiths. These religions represent the last vestiges of the magnificent civilizations in ancient history: Persia, Babylon, Egypt in the time of the pharaohs. Their followers have learned how to survive foreign attacks and the perils of assimilation. But today, with the Middle East in turmoil, they face greater challenges than ever before.

In Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms, former diplomat Gerard Russell ventures to the distant, nearly impassable regions where these mysterious religions still cling to survival. He lives alongside the Mandaeans and Ezidis of Iraq, the Zoroastrians of Iran, the Copts of Egypt, and others. He learns their histories, participates in their rituals, and comes to understand the threats to their communities. Historically a tolerant faith, Islam has, since the early 20th century, witnessed the rise of militant, extremist sects. This development poses existential threats to these minority faiths. And as more and more of their youth flee to the West in search of greater freedoms and job prospects, these religions face the dire possibility of extinction.

Critic Reviews:

"A fascinating and gracefully written study of minority religions, recommended for its appreciation of cultural richness and variety." (Library Journal)

Title: The Crusades: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Christopher Tyerman

Narrator: Stephen Bowlby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-19-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: History, World

Publisher's Summary:

With flair and originality, Christopher Tyerman presents a clear and lively discussion of the Crusades, bringing together issues of colonialism, cultural exchange, economic exploitation, and the relationship between past and present. He considers the effects of the Crusades on ordinary life in Western Europe, and the parts played by ordinary men and women in the conflict, and explores the term "Crusade" for contemporary political ends.

Whether the Crusades are regarded as the most romantic of Christian expeditions, or the last of the barbarian invasions, they have fascinated generations ever since, and their legacy of ideas and imagery has resonated through the centuries, inspiring Hollywood movies and great works of literature. In this audiobook, Tyerman skillfully weaves together one of the most extraordinary and vivid episodes in world history.

Editorial Reviews:

An expert in the field of medieval studies, Christopher Tyermans richly detailed yet succinct overview, aside from providing historical context and insight into each one, eschews the Romantic view of The Crusades in favor of a more pragmatic approach in surmising what the true motivations were for these historic religious campaigns, the echoes of which still resonate to this day.

Narrator Stephen Bowlbys robust, seasoned voice has an entrancing quality that will appeal to listeners seeking a firmer grasp on this fascinating period in human civilization.
