Title: Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age

Author: Norman Ohler

Narrator: Kris Dyer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 38 minutes

Release date: April 25, 2024

Genres: Military

Publisher's Summary:

Berlin, 1945. Following the fall of the Third Reich, drug use - long kept under control by the Nazis' strict anti-drug laws - is rampant throughout the city. In the American sector, Arthur J. Giuliani of the nascent Federal Bureau of Narcotics is tasked with learning about the Nazis' drug policies and bringing home anything that might prove 'useful'. Five years later, Harvard professor Dr Henry Beecher begins work with the US government to uncover the research behind the Nazis' psychedelics programme. Originally created for medical purposes by Dr Albert Hofmann, the Nazis coopted LSD to experiment with mind control and find a 'truth serum' - research that the US, particularly the CIA, is desperate to acquire. Based on extensive archival research, Tripped is a wild, unconventional post-war history, a spiritual sequel to Norman Ohler's bestselling Blitzed. Revealing the hidden connections between the Nazis and the CIA's notorious brainwashing experimentation programme, MKUltra, Ohler shares how this secret history held back the therapeutic research of psychedelic drugs for decades as the West sought to turn LSD into a weapon.

Title: Afgantsy: The Russians in Afghanistan 1979-89

Author: Rodric Braithwaite

Narrator: Derek Perkins

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 25 minutes

Release date: April 23, 2024

Genres: Military

Publisher's Summary:

The story of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan is well known: the expansionist Communists overwhelmed a poor country as a means of reaching a warm-water port on the Persian Gulf. Afghan mujahideen upset their plans, holding on with little more than natural fighting skills, until CIA agents came to the rescue with American arms. Humiliated in battle, the Soviets hastily retreated. It is a great story—but it never happened. In this brilliant, myth-busting account, Rodric Braithwaite, the former British ambassador to Moscow, challenges much of what we know about the Soviets in Afghanistan. He provides an inside look at this little-understood episode, using first-hand accounts and piercing analysis to show the war as it was fought and experienced by the Russians. The invasion was a defensive response to a chaotic situation in the Soviets' immediate neighbor. They intended to establish a stable, friendly government, secure the major towns, and train the police and armed forces before making a rapid exit. But the mission escalated, as did casualties. Braithwaite does not paint the occupation as a Russian triumph. To the contrary, he illustrates the searing effect of the brutal conflict on soldiers, their families, and the broader public, as returning veterans struggled to regain their footing back home.

Publisher's Summary:

Долгие годы после окончания войны большинство немцев, разлученных ею с близкими, мечтали о воссоединении семей и нормальной жизни. Но частная жизнь за дверями домов не стала тем островком спокойствия, которого так жаждали эти люди. Происшед шее оставило глубокий след на повседневной жизни семей.

Среди них мы видим ведущего двойную жизнь вернувшегося с войны фронтовика, юную мать, запутавшуюся в собственных тайнах, школьника, разоблачив шего родительскую ложь, девочку, отважившуюся восстать против грубости солдафона отца. В судьбах, повествующих о мире, которого не коснулся оптимизм общества вос становления, осязаемо ощущаются мрачные глубины и бездонные пропасти той эпохи.

Title: [Spanish] - Palestina e Israel: La esquina de la tierra

Author: Maruan Soto Antaki

Narrator: Maruan Soto Antaki

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 14 minutes

Release date: April 18, 2024

Genres: Military

Publisher's Summary:

Narrado por el autor Una revisión tan clara como urgente a la historia y la actualidad del doloroso conflicto entre Palestina e Israel. El 7 de octubre de 2023 Hamás efectuó el peor ataque terrorista, por el nivel de violencia y brutalidad, en su historia. Más de mil miembros de la organización entraron a territorio israelí por tierra, mar y aire. Secuestraron y asesinaron a sangre fría a mujeres, ancianos y niños. La respuesta de Israel no se hizo esperar. En menos de un mes, se acabó con los esfuerzos de más de treinta años por lograr una coexistencia pacífica entre Palestina e Israel. La crisis humanitaria que se vive actualmente en Gaza está fuera de control. Pero, ¿cómo llegamos este punto? ¿Cuáles son las raíces de este conflicto con una historia de más de siete décadas? ¿Quiénes han sido sus principales actores? En este libro, Maruan Soto Antaki repasa claridad los momentos clave de esta historia: desde la creación del Estado de Israel en 1947, pasando por el surgimiento de las diferentes formas de resistencia o lucha palestina en los años sesenta, la primera intifada, en 1987, y los Acuerdos de Oslo en 1993. Finalmente, el autor nos recuerda que son tal legítimas las causas palestinas —la búsqueda por un Estado libre, con autonomía y gobierno propio, el derecho de existencia jurídica de un pueblo— como el derecho de Israel y el de sus habitantes a tener un país sin estar amenazados por el extremismo de quienes buscan su desaparición. Por ello, debemos recordar que ni los palestinos ni sus causas equivalen al terrorismo o a la barbarie, ni todos los judíos e israelíes son enemigos del conjunto palestino. En un conflicto tan complejo y desolador como el palestino-israelí, las respuestas simples y rápidas sólo conducen a un callejón sin salida.

Respect must be earned through actions demonstrating the samurai's worthiness of admiration and awe. For a Samurai, these values are not just aspirations but a way of life that defines who they are and what they stand for. With these guiding principles, a samurai is a skilled swordsman with a moral compass. Through the practice of these principles, the samurai become legends, their names remembered and revered for generations to come.
