Publisher's Summary:

Über zweieinhalb Jahrzehnte nach seinem Welt-Bestseller HITLERS HELFER porträtiert Guido Knopp in seinem neuen (Hör-)Buch nun die Mächtigen eines Reiches, das den Frieden in Europa mehr denn je bedroht: PUTINS HELFER. Sie halten ihren Herrscher an der Macht und profitieren allesamt von ihm. Es sind Oligarchen wie Roman Abramowitsch, die von der Nähe zum Diktator profitieren; routinierte Apparatschiks wie Sergej Lawrow, die als Sprachrohr ihres Herrn zu dienen haben - oder Kyrill der Erste, der als Patriarch von Moskau seine Kirche zum Erfüllungsgehilfen einer Diktatur macht. Sie alle sind die Träger einer Tyrannei, die sich längst nicht nur nach innen richtet, sondern mittlerweile auch nach außen.

Publisher's Summary:

You will be thrilled to find a book that answers what happened to America so you can help heal our beloved country. In 1995, Karen Horwitz, aka the CHANGE EVERYTHING TEACHER, discovered our schools suffered from the 'Harvey Weinstein syndrome'—the powerful get their way no matter how wicked until someone finds the courage to expose them. She wrote a memoir to do to those running our schools what that brave actress who testified against Weinstein did — expose and end wrongdoing of a different kind. Readers will learn why we have school shootings and how to end them and restore democracy. She names the corruption that transformed our schools from revered institutions to mere shells White Chalk Crime™ and reveals how it dismantled democracy. The sheer audacity and disbelief of this corruption prompted her to write a book so that citizens could comprehend its extent. She warns, 'There are consequences for a society that allows evil an honored home. One is school shootings, which are the tip of the democracy-destroying iceberg, taking our country down Titanic-style. Abraham Lincoln warned, 'The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.'  When I taught, it was as if  Trump ran our schools.' She reveals that those in power secretly thwart school reform and presents an 'idea invention' that will revolutionize education as Jeff Bezos did to marketing and Steve Jobs to computers. It includes a blueprint for top-notch schools that ensures a home for great teachers and tells about a grassroots movement for change. This book is a beacon of hope, showing that change is within reach. It inspires the reader to feel optimistic about the future of education and democracy. This engaging and insightful book on education takes those who cherish democracy and fear autocracy on a journey deep inside our schools, where the root of many of this nation's challenges lies. It will change a whole lot. PDFs at WhiteChalkCrime.com/audio

Title: [Spanish] - Por nuestras libertades (antes de que sea demasiado tarde): Claves para entender el Medio Oriente y el oscurantismo que se avecina en Occidente

Author: Silvia Cherem

Narrator: Silvia Cherem, Noé Velázquez

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 24 minutes

Release date: September 26, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

El 7 de octubre de 2023, Hamás, grupo terrorista que gobierna Gaza desde 2007, llevó a cabo “en el nombre de Alá” una carnicería en el sur de Israel: arrasó aldeas, violó en horda a cuanta mujer halló a su paso, amarró y quemó vivas a familias enteras, incluidos niños y ancianos, decapitó y cercenó cuerpos, masacró con salvajismo a 1 240 personas de todas las edades y nacionalidades, entre ellos cientos de jóvenes que bailaban en un concierto por la paz. No satisfecho, se llevó a 252 secuestrados a Gaza que han pasado meses en los túneles del infierno. Temerosos del fanatismo islámico y de sus tentáculos, pocos se atreven a hablar. Sacudida por los sucesos, Silvia Cherem elabora un doloroso recuento de lo que aconteció en esas horas de exterminio, ofrece testimonios desgarradores de sobrevivientes, aboga por la paz para Israel y Palestina, y arroja luz para entender quién es Hamás, que recibe millones de dólares anuales del mundo entero. Entre la crónica y el ensayo, estos textos exhiben las trampas que utiliza la Hermandad Musulmana para manipular a la opinión pública, falsificar los hechos, ganar adeptos, imponer la sharía, luchar contra “los infieles” y convertir a sus niños en mártires. Colmadas de datos y análisis históricos, estas páginas transparentan el contexto del conflicto árabe-israelí, el rol del fundamentalismo islámico promovido por Irán y Qatar, y la violencia de quienes, con desconocimiento o mala fe, se manifiestan contra Israel y los judíos con un antisemitismo permisivo y mordaz, desatado con virulencia a partir del 7 de octubre. Hoy, advierte la autora, están en juego las libertades y los valores democráticos de Occidente.

Title: Civil Wars: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Monica Duffy Toft

Narrator: Kim Niemi

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 36 minutes

Release date: September 24, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Civil wars are the most common form of large-scale political violence. In the past thirty years, the study of civil wars has been one of the largest growing segments of the international relations field. Their causes are complex, ranging from fights over access to housing, jobs, and land or other resources, to political contests over offices, rights, and representation. Groups form, collapse, coalesce, align and realign, and then fight amongst themselves. Governments themselves change through elections, coups, military defeats, or revolutions. Understanding the origins of civil wars and their trajectories therefore demands some appreciation of the economic, political, social, cultural, and geographic order of societies. If there is one factor that best predicts why a civil war erupts, it is a prior civil war. That is why knowledge of a country's history of political violence, and associated narratives about who is to blame and why, are critical to understanding where a civil war might next occur. We now have a better understanding of the conditions under which civil wars generally emerge, how the fighting evolves, and how civil wars end. However, historical understanding—the human dimensions—remain every bit as critical. This book explores current debates on civil wars and how the reasons for fighting (and the nature of belligerents themselves) are changing.

Title: Geopolitics and Democracy: The Western Liberal Order from Foundation to Fracture

Author: Brian Burgoon, Peter Trubowitz

Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 23 minutes

Release date: September 24, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

A large, widening gap has opened between Western democracies' international ambitions and their domestic political capacity to support them. On issues ranging from immigration and international trade to national security, new political parties on the left and the right are rejecting the core foreign policy principles that Western governments have championed for over half a century. In Geopolitics and Democracy, Peter Trubowitz and Brian Burgoon provide a powerful new explanation for the rise of anti-globalism in the West. Trubowitz and Burgoon show that support for globalism has been receding for thirty years in Western parties and legislatures. They trace the anti-globalist backlash to foreign policy decisions that mainstream parties and party elites made after the end of the Cold War. These decisions sought to globalize markets and pool sovereignty at the supranational level while applying neoliberal reforms to social protections and guarantees at home. Geopolitics and Democracy reveals how domestic support for international engagement during the long East-West geopolitical contest was contingent upon social protections within Western democracies. In the absence of a renewed commitment to those social purposes, Western democracies will struggle to find a collective grand strategy that their domestic publics will support.

Title: [German] - Ein Tag im Leben von Abed Salama: Die Geschichte einer Jerusalemer Tragödie | Ausgezeichnet mit dem Pulitzer-Preis 2024

Author: Nathan Thrall

Narrator: Patrick Twinem

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 21 minutes

Release date: September 23, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Ausgezeichnet mit dem Pulitzer-Preis 2024 »Buch des Jahres 2023« The New Yorker Auf einer Straße außerhalb Jerusalems verunglückt ein Schulbus. Der besorgte Vater Abed Salama fährt sofort zur Unfallstelle. Doch die verletzten Kinder wurden bereits in verschiedene Krankenhäuser der Stadt gebracht, zu der Abed mit seinen palästinensischen Papieren keinen Zugang hat. Seine Odyssee auf der Suche nach seinem Sohn ist verwebt mit den Geschichten unterschiedlicher Menschen, deren Wege unerwartet zusammentreffen: Unter ihnen eine Erzieherin und ein Mechaniker, die Kinder aus dem Wrack bergen, und ein israelischer Kommandant und ein palästinensischer Beamter, die mit den Folgen des Unfalls konfrontiert werden. In seinem gut recherchierten Werk, das wenige Tage vor dem Anschlag am 7. Oktober 2023 veröffentlicht wurde, geht Nathan Thrall nicht nur auf die komplexe Geschichte der Besetzung ein, vielmehr macht er sichtbar, was oft übersehen wird: das Leben der Menschen in einem zerrütteten Land. Das Buch wurde 2024 mit dem Pulitzer-Preis in der Kategorie General Nonfiction ausgezeichnet Begründung der Jury: 'Ein sorgfältiger und einfühlsamer Bericht über das Leben unter der israelischen Besatzung des Westjordanlandes, erzählt durch das Porträt eines palästinensischen Vaters, dessen fünfjähriger Sohn bei einem Schulbusunfall ums Leben kommt.' »Ich kenne kein anderes Werk über Israel und Palästina, das diese Tiefe an Einsicht und Verständnis erreicht. Das Buch kann als ein Abriss moderner palästinensischer Geschichte, eingefasst in die persönlichen Erinnerungen verschiedener Individuen, gelesen werden.« David Shulman | New York Review of Books

Title: [French] - Souvenirs de la cour d'assises

Author: André Gide

Narrator: Jason Jegu

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 24 minutes

Release date: September 18, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

'Plongé au cœur de l'âme humaine : Une introspection judiciaire' Dans 'Souvenirs de la cour d'assises', André Gide nous invite à un voyage introspectif unique. En tant que juré, il devient un observateur privilégié de l'âme humaine, confronté aux méandres de la psyché et aux limites de la justice. Avec une lucidité et une sensibilité à fleur de peau, Gide nous entraîne dans les coulisses des procès, nous faisant partager ses doutes, ses interrogations et ses émotions. Il décortique les motivations des accusés, les nuances de leurs actes et les mécanismes psychologiques qui les sous-tendent. Au-delà du simple récit des faits, Gide nous offre une analyse profonde des rapports humains, de la culpabilité, de la responsabilité et de la rédemption. L'auteur ne se contente pas de relater les événements ; il s'interroge sur le sens de la justice, sur la nature du mal et sur la possibilité du pardon. Chaque procès devient l'occasion d'une réflexion philosophique sur la condition humaine. Gide nous invite à remettre en question nos certitudes, à dépasser les apparences et à chercher la vérité au-delà des faits établis. En mêlant l'intime et l'universel, Gide nous offre un récit poignant qui résonne encore aujourd'hui. 'Souvenirs de la cour d'assises' est bien plus qu'un simple témoignage ; c'est une invitation à une introspection profonde, une exploration des abysses de l'âme humaine et une réflexion sur les fondements de notre société.
