Title: Ideological Fixation: From the Stone Age to Today's Culture Wars

Author: Azar Gat

Narrator: Shawn K. Jain

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16:16:44

Language: English

Release date: 03-14-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Politics, History

Summary:

After theorists around 1960 proclaimed the 'death of ideology,' ideological divides and clashes have reemerged with renewed intensity throughout the world. In the United States they have become particularly venomous. Each side in America's escalating ideological civil war charges the other with concocting 'fake news' and 'alternative facts.' The other side is widely viewed as malicious, irrational, or downright stupid, and, often, as barely legitimate. The zeal of the opposing sides is often scarcely less than that which characterized the religious ideologies of old. Indeed, historical religious ideologies have largely been replaced by 'secular religions' or 'religion substitutes.'

Ideology consists of normative prescriptions regarding how society should be shaped, together with an interpretive roadmap indicating how this normative vision can be implemented in reality. Ideological Fixation is the result of tensions and conflicts between these two elements. The book focuses on ideologies' factual claims about the world, typically subordinate to, and often distorted by, their normative commitment. In exploring this phenomenon, the book combines insights from evolutionary psychology regarding the nature of some of our deepest proclivities with a broad sweep through history and around the world.

Title: Otto Kretschmer: The Life of Germanys Highest Scoring U-Boat Commander

Author: Lawrence Paterson

Narrator: Bruce Mann

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:44:30

Language: English

Release date: 03-14-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Europe, Military

Summary:

Otto Kretschmer was only in combat from September 1939 until March 1941 but was Germany's highest-scoring U-boat commander, sinking forty-seven ships. This definitive work details his personal story and the political backdrop from his earliest days.

After completing his officer training and time on the training ship Niobe, he served aboard the light cruiser Emden. In December 1934, he was transferred to the light cruiser Köln, then in January 1936 made the move to the fledgling U-boat service. During the Spanish Civil War, Kretschmer was involved in several patrols as part of the international non-intervention force.

He demonstrated a cool approach to combat: his mantra 'one torpedo for one ship' proved that the best way for his boat to succeed against a convoy was to remain surfaced as much as possible, penetrating the convoy and using the boat's high speed and small silhouette to avoid retaliation.

His nickname 'Silent Otto' referred to his ability to remain undetected and his reluctance to provide the regular radio reports required by Dönitz. Alongside his military skill was a character that remained rooted in the traditions of the Prussian military.

Language: English

Release date: 03-14-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness, Beauty & Fashion, Naturopathy & New Age

Summary:

Sophie Saint Thomas knows fashion and glamour and how to use them to make magic happen. 'Vanity is not a sin,' she writes, 'but a tool of power to be embraced. Costume is power, and through fashion, makeup, and other glamour magick tools, we can step into such power.'

In Glamour Witch, Sophie offers a history of glamour magick from a modern perspective complete with a bounty of glamour magick spells. Her message is that not only can you have fun with your appearance-be it a sparkly David Bowie-esque getup or a laid-back wood nymph vibe-but you can also use glamour to express yourself and get what you want.

- People are turning to this form of self-care more than ever.

- Men are increasingly being included in wellness, fashion, and jewelry trends.

- It's high time that more people know that you can use your dress for power before some idiot tries to use it against you (insert throwback to being called to the principal's office for dress code violations).

- Embracing glamour and dress is no longer a tool of repression but a tool of expression-and this book will teach you how, at all price points and for all genders.

Title: Nakam: The Holocaust Survivors Who Sought Full-Scale Revenge

Author: Dina Porat

Narrator: Julia Farhat

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:42:53

Language: English

Release date: 03-14-23

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: History, World, Military

Summary:

The true story of a vigilante group of Holocaust survivors who conspired to kill six million Germans

Nakam (Hebrew for vengeance) tells the story of the Avengers (Nokmim), a group of young Holocaust survivors led by poet and resistance fighter Abba Kovner, who undertook a mission of revenge against Germany following the crimes of the Holocaust. Motivated by both the atrocities they had endured and the realization that murderous antisemitic attacks on survivors continued long after the Nazi surrender, these fifty young men and women sought retaliation at a level commensurate with the devastation caused by the Holocaust, making clear to the world that Jewish blood would no longer be shed with impunity. Had they been successful, they would have poisoned city water supplies and loaves of bread distributed to German POWs, with the aim of killing six million Germans. Kovner and his followers went to great lengths to carry out their plans, going so far as to obtain the schematics for Nurembergs municipal water system, secure large quantities of poison, infiltrate a POW camp and the bakery that supplied it, and distribute poisoned bread to prisonersbut their plots were ultimately stymied. Most of the members of Nakam eventually returned to Israel, where for decades many of them refused to speak publicly about their roles in the group.

While the Avengers story began to come to light in the 1980s, details of the relations between the group and Zionist leadership and the motivations of its members have remained unknown. Drawing on rich archival sources and in-depth interviews with the Avengers in their later years, historian Dina Porat examines the formation of the group and the clash between the formative humanistic values held by its members and their unrealized plans for violent retribution.

Neve has spent lifetimes defending the mortal world against the legions of hell with her two sisters.

Unfortunately for Neve, in this lifetime, she is the only one of the Morrigan-a triad of Irish war gods-still stuck in high school and still without her full power. She's been counting down the days until her eighteenth birthday, when she finally gets to shed the pretenses of humanity and grow into her divine power.

But then she meets Alexandria. And Alexandria is as determined to force Neve into some semblance of teenage normalcy as she is haunted by her own demons-both figurative and literal.

As they grow closer, Neve decides that humanity-and, perhaps, love-isn't so detestable after all. Which makes it all the more dangerous when she realizes that something in Hell wants Alexandria, and it's be up to Neve and her sisters to save her before Alexandria's past catches up to all of them.

Title: All Roads Led to Gettysburg: A New Look at the Civil War's Pivotal Campaign

Author: Troy D. Harman

Narrator: Tom Perkins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:22:47

Language: English

Release date: 03-14-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World, North America, Military

Summary:

It has long been a trope of Civil War history that Gettysburg was an accidental battlefield. Troy D. Harman argues for a new interpretation: once Lee invaded Pennsylvania and the Union army pursued, a battle at Gettysburg was entirely predictable, perhaps inevitable.

Most Civil War battles took place along major roads, railroads, and waterways. And yet this perspective hasn't been fully explored when it comes to Gettysburg.

Moreover, once the battle started, Harman argues, the blue and gray fought tactically for the two creeks that mark the battlefield in the east and the west as well as for the roadways that led to Gettysburg from all points of the compass. This is a perspective often overlooked in many accounts of the battle, which focus on the high ground-the Round Tops, Cemetery Hill-as key tactical objectives.

Gettysburg Ranger and historian Troy Harman draws on a lifetime of researching the Civil War and more than thirty years of studying the terrain of Gettysburg and south-central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland to reframe the story of the Battle of Gettysburg. In the process he shows there's still much to say about one of history's most written-about battles.
