Title: The Secret History of the Five Eyes: The untold story of the shadowy international spy network, through its targets, traitors and spies Author: Richard Kerbaj Narrator: Richard Kerbaj Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 34 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 2 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 'Puts Richard Kerbaj in the front rank of modern authors on espionage. It is, by turns, gripping and shocking and sheds completely new light on the most important intelligence alliance in the world' -- Tim Shipman, author of All Out War The Secret History of The Five Eyes: The untold story of the international spy network, is a riveting and exclusive narrative of the most powerful and least understood intelligence alliance, which has been steeped in secrecy since its formation in 1956. Richard Kerbaj, an award-winning investigative journalist and filmmaker, bypasses the usual censorship channels to tell the definitive account of authoritative but unauthorised stories of the Western world's most powerful but least known intelligence alliance made up of the US, Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. As Kerbaj shows, spy stories are never better than when they are true - and these span from 1930s Nazi spy rings to the most recent developments in Ukraine and China. Through personal interviews with world leaders - including British Prime Ministers Theresa May and David Cameron - and more than 100 intelligence officials, this book explores the complex personalities who helped shape the Five Eyes. They include a Scotland Yard detective who became a spymaster and inspired the first exchanges between MI5 and the FBI. An American home economics teacher who helped create one of the most effective programmes to counter Soviet espionage. The CIA's lone officer in Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution. GCHQ's chief during the Edward Snowden intelligence leak. And the Australian politician turned diplomat whose tip-off to the FBI instigated the inquiry into Russia's meddling in the US presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016. Richard Kerbaj is able to draw from deep inside the secret corridors of power and his unparalleled access spans all 5 countries. Some of the people he has interviewed include former GCHQ director Sir Iain Lobban, CIA director General David Petraeus, MI5 director-general Eliza Manningham-Buller, NSA director Admiral Mike Rogers, British National Security Advisor Kim Darroch, ASIO chief Mike Burgess, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's chief Richard Fadden, and Ciaran Martin, the official who oversaw Britain's assessments on whether the Chinese telecoms firm, Huawei, should have had a role in the creation of the UK's 5G network. This page-turning book will lift the lid on spy stories from across the English-speaking world, question the future of the alliance, and our place within it.

Title: Shallow Graves: My life as a Forensic Scientist on Britain's Biggest Cases Author: Ray Fysh Narrator: Michael Chance Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 29 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Shortlisted for the True Crime Awards 2023 Best New True Crime Author The murder of Sarah Payne, Adam the Thames Torso, the London bombings, the Night Stalker and the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko... The solving of all these cases can be linked to one man: Ray Fysh, a Charlton Athletic fan from Woolwich, a natural raconteur and also one of the finest forensic detectives the country has ever seen. Ray began work for the Met Police in the 1970s when forensic investigation was seen as little more than a geeky side show, only in existence to confirm or eliminate evidence. But by the mid 90s Ray and his team had made huge progress in their field, contributing to the UK becoming a world-leading innovator in forensic techniques, with Ray himself being named as Special Adviser to the Forensic Science Service. As the SA, Ray worked alongside Senior Investigating Officers from day one of a case, directing his team to identify forensic opportunities and harvest case-cracking clues. As Ray looks back over his career at the cases he worked on, the reader is given unparalleled insight into the highs and lows of an astonishing career, the historic classist snobbery of the Met and the stunning realities of crime and forensics

Title: [Spanish] - Las redes de poder en España Author: Andrés Villena Narrator: Emilio Bianchi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 8 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: ¿Quién manda en España? ¿Por qué mandan los que ocupan puestos de poder en los ministerios, secretarías de Estado, direcciones generales? ¿Qué redes de intereses les unen entre sí? Más allá de las ''puertas giratorias'', unos grupos pequeños de altos funcionarios, personas vinculadas al poder real, sobre todo al económico, TOMAN LAS DECISIONES Y LO HACEN SIN RESPONDER ANTE LOS CIUDADANOS NI ESCUCHARLES.

Los que mandan de verdad defienden sus intereses personales, los de sus amigos y los de las grandes corporaciones. Se interrelacionan formando red. Por primera vez, un libro pone estas redes al desnudo y nos cuenta con ejemplos concretos las relaciones que unen a las élites que nos gobiernan. Este libro está narrado en castellano. - Andrés Villena nació en Elche (1980), pero ha vivido la mayor parte de su vida en Málaga. Es sociólogo y periodista.

Title: [German] - Wir können auch anders: Aufbruch in die Welt von morgen Author: Maja Göpel Narrator: Nina West Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 29 minutes Release date: September 1, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Die Menschheit befindet sich in einem gewaltigen Transformationsprozess. Die Menge dessen, was anzupacken, zu reparieren und neu auszurichten ist, scheint übergroß. Wie finden wir Kompass, Kreativität und Courage, um diese Herausforderungen weniger zu bekämpfen als viel mehr zu gestalten? Und: wer ist eigentlich wir und warum ist das so wichtig? Die Art, wie wir leben, wird sich fundamental verändern. Bisherige Selbstverständlichkeiten in Umwelt, Wirtschaft, Politik, Gesellschaft und Technologie zerbröseln. Doch dieses Buch macht Mut: Auf Grundlage wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse verdeutlicht Maja Göpel, wie wir solche komplexen Entwicklungen verstehen und dieses Wissen für eine bessere Welt nutzen können. Denn in der Geschichte hat es immer wieder Große Transformationen gegeben. Sie wurden von uns Menschen ausgelöst also können wir sie auch gestalten. Unser Fenster zur Zukunft steht offen wie nie. Mit dieser Haltung ist Strukturwandel keine Zumutung, sondern eine Chance. Es ist Zeit, dass wir jeder Einzelne von uns, aber auch die Gesellschaft als Ganzes uns erlauben, neu zu denken, zu träumen und eine radikale Frage stellen: Wer wollen wir sein?

Anker Narrator: Chelsea Stephens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 16 minutes Release date: August 30, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In Ugly Freedoms Elisabeth R. Anker reckons with the complex legacy of freedom offered by liberal American democracy, outlining how the emphasis of individual liberty has always been entangled with white supremacy, settler colonialism, climate destruction, economic exploitation, and patriarchy. These 'ugly freedoms' legitimate the right to exploit and subjugate others. At the same time, Anker locates an unexpected second type of ugly freedom in practices and situations often dismissed as demeaning, offensive, gross, and ineffectual but that provide sources of emancipatory potential. She analyzes both types of ugly freedom at work in a number of texts and locations, from political theory, art, and film to food, toxic dumps, and multispecies interactions. Whether examining how Kara Walker's sugar sculpture A Subtlety, Or the Marvelous Sugar Baby reveals the importance of sugar plantations to liberal thought or how the impoverished neighborhoods in The Wire blunt neoliberalism's violence, Anker shifts our perspective of freedom by contesting its idealized expressions and expanding the visions for what freedom can look like, who can exercise it, and how to build a world free from domination.
