Length: 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-19-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Publisher's Summary:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the only president elected to four terms, expanded presidential powers in a fashion unparalleled in American history. He launched the New Deal; fought off constitutional attacks of his bold legislation by proposing to pack the Supreme Court; greatly expanded the presidents powers in foreign affairs; sent Japanese Americans to relocation camps after the bombing at Pearl Harbor; and seized an airplane manufacturing plant as part of his emergency powers. While FDR guided America out of the Great Depression and navigated a dangerous world war, he demonstrated that even great leaders can become blinded by success and unchecked power, particularly during times of war and hysteria.

Publisher's Summary:

President Jimmy Carter, a peanut farmer from Georgia, won over an American electorate distrustful of government because of the Vietnam War and Watergate. He prevailed in 1976 with a pledge of honesty and openness. Carter, who viewed himself as an enlightened trustee of the American people, championed the cause of affirmative action for minorities when much of the country still resisted this concept. Crippled politically by his botched handling of the Iran hostage crisis, Carter became a one-term president viewed as a weak leader. Yet his post-presidential activism in favor of international human rightsearning him a Nobel Peace Prizetransformed Carter into one of the most successful former presidents in U.S. history.

Title: Firebrand

Author: Aaron Barnhart

Narrator: Aaron Barnhart

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-17-16

Publisher: Quindaro Press

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

In 1855 the westward expansion of slavery was all but assured. Pro-slavery forces had swarmed the newly-opened territory of Kansas and packed its legislature. They had the support of all three branches of the federal government and the Army. Yet within two years, a ragtag free-state militia, led by a wild-eyed crusader named John Brown, scored a series of tactical victories that helped turn the tide in Kansas - while putting America on the path to civil war.

Of all the men in Brown's army, one stands out: the young Jewish immigrant August Bondi, a freedom fighter since the age of 14. With a scrupulous eye toward history, author Aaron Barnhart brings this remarkable story to life and shows how a young man's conscience, like John Brown's broadsword, can cut both ways.

From Vienna's barricades to bleeding Kansas to the Civil War, August Bondi was continuously engaged in the struggle for freedom for half of his young adult life. As an old man, he wrote down what he remembered, and author Aaron Barnhart closely followed Bondi's autobiography in writing Firebrand. Barnhart also drew upon the 1958 novel Border Hawk: August Bondi, by children's author Lloyd Alexander (winner of the Newbery Medal and National Book Award), to bring Bondi's story back to life.

The story begins in 1848. The Bondi family is leaving for a better life in America. But 15-year-old Anschl doesn't want to go. He's found his life's purpose in Vienna, fighting on the barricades against a tyrant king. In America, Anschl tries to put his past behind him, changing his name to August and seeking adventure aboard a Texas riverboat. But there is a new tyranny in his adopted land called slavery, and its presence all around him rekindles the fire in the young freedom fighter. It leads him to Kansas Territory and the adventure of his life alongside the notorious abolitionist John Brown.

Very good read

An excellent YA novel by a Civil War expert.

A fresh perspective on Civil War fiction

August Bondi, a native Austrian who immigrated to the US in the mid 1800s, is the star of the new novel Firebrand by Aaron Barnhart. Firebrand is a fictionalized biography of the real August Bondi, an abolitionist who fought with John Brown during the Bleeding Kansas conflict. Barnhart's novel is based on Bondi's own autobiography, and is a modern rewrite of Lloyd Alexander's 1958 book August Bondi: Border Hawk.

Firebrand follows Bondi from Vienna, where he was involved in student protests against the outrages of the Austrian Empire, to the new world of New Orleans and Saint Louis. As he grows older, Bondi works as a river boatman and a successful shop owner, but his life is always shadowed by the suffering and injustice of slavery. When the political tensions between the North and South heat up, Bondi joins several like-minded Kansas settlers, including the notorious John Brown, to prevent the spread of slavery to Kansas, America's newest frontier. But with tempers at the breaking point, Bondi wonders what price he will pay to oppose the powerful slaveowners, and whether some of his new friends are taking their fight too far.

Barnhart's prose is simple and easy to absorb, making Bondi's story accessible to younger generations. As Firebrand covers decades of history in a short 168 pages, there is rarely a dull moment in Barnhart's new book.

Riepilogo Editore:

Una storia che parte dall'arrivo degli immigrati ebrei in America. Persone che portano con sé tradizioni e storie, che hanno conosciuto povertà e oppressione, ma non hanno perso le speranze e un lucido, spietato senso dell'umorismo.

Con queste nuove armi affronteranno la società americana, certamente non amichevole nei loro confronti. A poco a poco conquisteranno la ribalta dei teatri di vaudeville e arriveranno a Hollywood da attori e produttori, andando a dar vita sullo schermo al sogno americano, in un caleidoscopio di identità e personaggi degno di Zelig.

Il radiodramma è un piccolo omaggio affettuoso a quei sogni e a quelle speranze che prendono qui a prestito le voci e le parole di autori come Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Lenny Bruce, Groucho Marx, Barbra Streisand, Sarah Silverman e molti altri interpreti della comicità ebraica americana.

Regia di Claudio Laiso, musiche originali di Enrico Fink.

Have you been looking for a new book where you can get the excitement and thrill of a political thriller that brings forward the circumstances of a situation that you may have never considered before? A Fine and Dangerous Season by Keith Raffel actually does an incredibly good job of presenting a story about one of the countrys most beloved presidents, President John F. Kennedy, and a story that really brings the entire feeling and emotion that revolved around that area to life.

The first section of this summary will take a look at everything that is related to the history behind the book, which is also explored in detail in the book itself. As you may expect, understanding the history of this time period will make it much easier for you to understand the events that occur during the book.

Title: Native American History

Author: IntroBooks

Narrator: Cyrus Nilo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-16

Publisher: IntroBooks

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

The antiquity of Native American bounces back hundreds of years ago till the extant. The aboriginal inhabitants left their mark in many climates and tribes in the form of ethnicities, relics, and registers made by the white voyagers. When European explorers set foot on American soil and had dealings with the tribes of now Peru, Canada, and Mexico, it marked the beginning of Native American history.

Their history is all about the tribes and the cities they built and sustained on fishing, hunting, and fruits. They used urbane forms of trade and the later generations of the tribes also used money. Most of the tribes were hoarders and hunters and desired to keep their ways. The tribes battled among themselves for superiority but amalgamated the captured tribes into their erudite political system, which consisted of leading a number of small lands and creating governmental frames.

The tribes forgot their mutual enmities and stood one against the European settlers. However, there were many tribes who sided the British just to avenge their rival tribes. At the time of French and Indian War, the tribes fought for French or British based on the side which their enemy tribe was. The history of Native America is full of such coalitions and conflicts.

This book discusses the ways of the Native American tribes. Their struggle for a decent life, their fight against the deadly diseases, and their position in the society of today.

Title: Photographs of My Father

Author: Paul Spike

Narrator: MacLeod Andrews

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-21-16

Publisher: Random House Audio

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

At the National Council of Churches, Robert Spike had organized American churches to support the passage of both the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, to march in Selma, and to organize in Mississippi. An important white leader in the black civil rights struggle, he helped the LBJ White House pass legislation and write crucial civil rights speeches. In the midst of what he described as "the dirtiest fight of my life" while struggling to save a federal Mississippi education program, he was viciously murdered in Columbus, Ohio. The murder was never solved. Very little effort went into finding the murderer. The Columbus police and the FBI hinted the unsolved murder was connected to Spike's undisclosed gay life.

During his father's rise in the civil rights movement, Paul Spike lived a life typical of a young man in the 1960s, finding his way through a labyrinth of booze, drugs, and girls. At Columbia University, he was active in the 1968 student rebellion and friends with many SDS radicals. That rootless life ended with his father's murder.

Members Reviews:

A masterpiece of the '60s, that lives today, in the almost equally tumultuous times we live in.

Can't begin to express how deeply moved I am by Photographs of My Father. Young Paul's personal coming of age story, his father Robert Spike's story, Paul's portraits of the crazy times in the '60s â the Civil Rights marches his father participated in; the behind the scenes political intrigues surrounding President Johnson's efforts to get Civil Rights for the nation; the murders of Martin Luther King, Jack and Bobby Kennedy, and Reverend Spike himself. An absolutely brilliant, heartfelt, and well-written book. I also see it was written when young Paul was only in his early 20's, just a few years after attending the private prep school "Keaton" (fictitious name of a real place) and only a few years later after his father's murder. In other words, Paul sprouted into a first-rate writer while still a very young man. A five star work all around.

I would recommend it to anyone interested in the civil rights struggle ...

This book held my interest primarily for its historical insight and the portrait of such a loving relationship between a father and son. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s. It also serves as a reminder of how the real truth can be supplanted by a more palpable "public truth". Whether or not the death of Robert Spike was perpetuated by our government for political reason is something we should consider. There should be little argument, however, concerning the cultural attitude towards homosexuality at that time and how it could always be counted on to be used as a weapon of negative propaganda. Up until recently I was beginning to believe that as a society we had become wiser to the ways we could be influenced and manipulated by such matters, but now I'm not so sure. Personally I couldn't care less about the sexual orientation of Robert Spike. What's there, and what his son has shown, is the portrait of a very compassionate man who was courageous enough to stand up to the forces that perpetuated racism.
