Title: Failures of the Presidents: From the Whiskey Rebellion and War of 1812 to the Bay of Pigs and War in Iraq Author: Thomas J. Craughwell Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 26 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Everybody makes mistakes, but when an American president blunders, the results can be catastrophic. In an effort to put an end to Britain and France’s policy of seizing American ships and sailors, Thomas Jefferson calls for an embargo. The result: 30,000 sailors put out of work; mercantile families bankrupted overnight; a nationwide economic depression; and the New England states, which depended heavily on international commerce, threaten to secede from the Union. In an effort to install a capitalist government in the Middle East, stabilize the region, and protect America from a possible Iraqi terrorist assault using weapons of mass destruction, George W. Bush orders the invasion of Iraq. The result: More than 4,000 American soldiers and personnel dead; estimated hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians dead; hundreds of billions of dollars spent; the torture of prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison and the failure to find weapons of mass destruction leave American global credibility in tatters. All of these, and many more, incredible lapses in judgement are explained in this book.

Title: Leading America: President Trump's Commitment to People, Patriotism, and Capitalism Author: Sean Spicer Narrator: Sean Spicer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 33 minutes Release date: October 13, 2020 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: The former White House Press Secretary and Communications Director analyzes our current political moment through the lens of politics and culture and argues that President Trump has put the country back on the right track and needs to be reelected in 2020. When it was announced that Sean Spicer would be the newest guest on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, he was promptly attacked by countless liberal media institutions. Apparently, they'd rather see him crawl under a rock forever than have a little fun on television (while raising money for charity). And that was only a small example. All over the country, liberals are attacking conservatives with the kind of fervor once reserved for hardened criminals. It's a zero sum game -- either you're with them one hundred percent, or you're the enemy. Whether you're in politics, media, academia, or entertainment, it's the same story. As one of the few people who's played a small part in all of those worlds, Sean Spicer has a unique perspective on the methods used by the left to shut down conservative voices. He's been parodied on SNL, ripped apart on the nightly news, and protested on college campuses, all for doing his job. Outside of the left's bubble, however, he's been able to transition from politics to entertainment very well, and he's got huge numbers of supporters. In Leading America, he writes about all the ways President Trump has fought back against the Left, and examines all the ways conservatives can take a stand to uphold their rights and values.

Title: Breakfast at Bronzefield Author: Sophie Campbell Narrator: Karla-Simone Spence Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 33 minutes Release date: August 20, 2020 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: HMP Bronzefield, the UK's largest women's prison: notorious for bent screws and drugs: But what's the truth behind the headlines? Forced into signing an NDA when she arrived there on remand, former public schoolgirl Sophie risked extra time on her sentence by documenting her experiences of life inside. Backed up by recent research and statistics, Breakfast at Bronzefield offers a powerful glimpse into a world few see: riots; unethical medical prescribing; and prison barons – key figures behind prostitution and drug-smuggling. In a world where anything goes and being rehabilitated simply means saying ‘sorry' right up until you're released, how will Sophie cope on the outside, where she is expected to play by different rules? Will she succeed in creating the life she wants? Or, like most prisoners, will she end up back where she started? “Powerfully written…. You give my hope.” - DAME SALLY COATES

Title: Benjamin Franklin: Made in America Author: Jeff Webb Narrator: Jeff Webb Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 18 minutes Release date: June 2, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.11 of Total 45 Ratings of Narrator: 4.57 of Total 14 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Called the "First American" and credited with "Inventing America," Benjamin Franklin lived a life that invites hyperbole. Few rival Franklin for his range of accomplishment across a number of domains of human endeavor, and few lived a life of such consequence in one of history's most consequential eras. In reality, Franklin's true story eclipses the myths that pervade his legacy. Benjamin Franklin: Made in America traces the fascinating twists and turns that make this Founding Father's story so remarkable. In 15 dynamic audio lectures, award-winning American history professor Jeffrey Webb explores Franklin's career beginning with his post as a young newspaperman and continuing into his leadership roles on the frontiers of cultural, intellectual, political, and scientific developments. Webb elucidates pivotal moments when Benjamin's contributions helped determine the fate of the continent: the Albany Congress, the Stamp Act debates, and the Treaty of Paris negotiations. He then explores Franklin's significant contributions as a transformational statesman and innovator who discovered the lightning rod, became the country's first successful publisher, and created the public library system. Perhaps most compelling, Webb shows how Franklin lent his particular genius to champion ideas considered radical in his time: free press and free speech, scientific and technological progress, and the gospel of individual self-improvement. As you travel throughout Franklin's life with Webb, you'll witness the making of the modern world. This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

Naimark Narrator: Paul Woodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 52 minutes Release date: April 21, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: In this powerful reassessment of the postwar order in Europe, Norman Naimark suggests that Joseph Stalin was far more open to a settlement on the continent than we have thought. Through revealing case studies from Poland and Yugoslavia to Denmark and Albania, Naimark recasts the early Cold War by focusing on Europeans' fight to determine their future. As nations devastated by war began rebuilding, Soviet intentions loomed large. Stalin's armies controlled most of the eastern half of the continent, and in France and Italy, communist parties were serious political forces. Yet Naimark reveals a surprisingly flexible Stalin, who initially had no intention of dividing Europe. During a window of opportunity from 1945 to 1948, leaders across the political spectrum pushed back against outside pressures. The first frost of Cold War could be felt in the tense patrolling of zones of occupation in Germany, but not until 1948, with the coup in Czechoslovakia and the Berlin Blockade, did the familiar polarization set in. The split did not become irreversible until the formal division of Germany and establishment of NATO in 1949. In illuminating how European leaders deftly managed national interests in the face of dominating powers, Stalin and the Fate of Europe reveals the real potential of an alternative trajectory for the continent.

Title: [German] - Das neue Russland - Der Umbruch und das System Putin Author: Michail Gorbatschow Narrator: Bodo Primus Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 19 minutes Release date: September 10, 2015 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: Nach Jahren der Annäherung ist das Verhältnis zwischen Deutschland und Russland so angespannt wie seit mehr als 25 Jahren nicht mehr. Was Putin antreibt, warum er die Konfrontation mit dem Westen sucht und den Rückfall in den Kalten Krieg in Kauf nimmt, ist vielen ein Rätsel. Nicht Michail Gorbatschow. Mit einzigartiger Kennerschaft beschreibt er die Entstehung des 'Systems Putin' und die Absichten dieses Mannes. Unverblümt rechnet er mit Putin ab. Dieser zerstöre um seiner eigenen Macht willen die Errungenschaften der Perestroika in Russland und errichte ein System ohne Zukunft. Deshalb fordert Gorbatschow ein neues politisches System für Russland, und er mahnt den Westen, nicht mit dem Feuer zu spielen. Ein wichtiges, ein notwendiges Hörbuch, das neue Blickwinkel eröffnet - und das politische Vermächtnis des großen Mannes, der die deutsche Einheit mitermöglichte.
