The Hello Girls: America’s First Women Soldiers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 723min

This is the story of how America's first women soldiers helped win World War I, earned the vote, and fought the US Army. In 1918 the US Army Signal Corps sent 223 women to France. They were masters of the latest technology: the telephone switchboard. General John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces, demanded female "wire experts" when he discovered that inexperienced doughboys were unable to keep him connected with troops under fire. Without communications for even an hour, the army would collapse. While suffragettes picketed the White House and President Woodrow Wilson struggled to persuade a segregationist Congress to give women of all races the vote, these competent and courageous young women swore the army oath. Elizabeth Cobbs reveals the challenges they faced in a war zone where male soldiers welcomed, resented, wooed, mocked, saluted, and ultimately celebrated them. The army discharged the last Hello Girls in 1920. When the operators sailed home, the army unexpectedly dismissed them without veterans' benefits. They began a 60-year battle that a handful of survivors carried to triumph in 1979. With the help of the National Organization for Women, Senator Barry Goldwater, and a crusading Seattle attorney, they triumphed over the US Army. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Three Days in Moscow Young Readers' Edition: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of the Soviet Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 261min

A gripping historical account of President Ronald Reagan’s battle to end the Cold War, adapted for young listeners from the book by number one best-selling author and Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier On May 31, 1988, President Ronald Reagan stood before a packed audience at Moscow State University. He delivered a speech that would go down in history, as it was the first time an American president had given an address about human rights on Russian soil. The importance of this speech was largely overlooked at the time, yet the following year, in November 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, and the Soviet Union began to disintegrate, leaving the United States the sole superpower on the world stage. Adapted for a younger audience, Three Days in Moscow reveals the president’s critical and often misunderstood role in orchestrating a successful, peaceful ending to the Cold War. This accessible account sheds light on America’s current place in the world while introducing young listeners to one of America’s most remarkable leaders - and the unique qualities that allowed him to succeed with America’s most dangerous enemy when his predecessors had fallen short.

An End to al-Qaeda: Destroying Bin Laden's Jihad and Restoring America's Honor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min

Al Qaeda’s 9/11 attack was just a small part of its long-term plan. Osama Bin Laden knew the assault would provoke the U.S. to invade Afghanistan and re-stoke his jihad. Bin Laden has built a large following by perverting the teachings of Islam to justify the mass murder of innocent people. By fighting him with bullets and bombs, we have bolstered Bin Laden’s recruiting efforts abroad, undermined civil liberties and economic security at home, and tarnished America’s reputation internationally.Malcolm Nance has retooled the “War on Terror” to show how we can eliminate Al Qaeda in less than 24 months without a single violent military action, while recreating America’s reputation as a force for good around the world. Nance’s plan includes:Dominating the information battle space by exposing Al Qaeda to the rest of the international Moslem community as the global death cult that they areWaging a war against the fear Al Qaeda has stokedDrastically reducing the number of heavy military operations that use bombs to wipe out the enemy (and cause the death of civilians in the process)Relying more heavily on counterintelligence to root out the terrorist group An End to Al Qaeda is both fierce critique of America’s political, military, and intelligence communities and a revolutionary blueprint for destroying Al Qaeda. ungekürzt.

The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min

One of the world’s most brilliant economists and the bestselling author of The End of Poverty and Common Wealth, Jeffrey Sachs has written a new book that is essential reading for every American. The Price of Civilization is the blueprint for America’s economic recovery. It is also the story of how America can and must restore the virtues of fairness, honesty, and foresight as the foundations of national prosperity. As he has done in dozens of countries around the world in the midst of economic crisis, Sachs turns his unique diagnostic skills to what ails the American economy. He finds that both political parties have missed the big picture: how globalization has reshaped economic life in America and around the world, thereby posing profound and largely unmet challenges for jobs, incomes, poverty, and the environment. America’s biggest single economic failure, Sachs argues, is its failure to come to grips with the new global economic realities. Yet Sachs goes deeper than an economic diagnosis, by asking why it is that Washington has consistently failed to address America’s economic needs. He describes a political system that has lost its ethical moorings, in which ever-rising campaign contributions and lobbying outlays overpower the voice of the citizenry. Washington, Sachs argues persuasively, has stopped representing the people and instead has turned the levers of power over to the corporate sector. Both parties are implicated, so that Washington lurches from one disappointing administration to the next, irrespective of party. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard McGonagle.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min

As presidential candidates sling dirt at each other, America desperately needs a few real heroes. Tragically, liberal historians and educators have virtually erased traditional American heroes from history. According to the Left, the Founding Fathers were not noble architects of America but selfish demagogues, and self-made entrepreneurs like Rockefeller were robber barons and corporate polluters. Instead of honoring great men from America’s past, kids today now idolize rock stars, pro athletes, and Hollywood celebrities. In his new book, author Brion McClanahan rescues the legendary deeds of the greatest Americans and shows why we ought to venerate heroes like Captain John Smith, adventurer Daniel Boone, General Robert E. Lee, and many more. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes not only resuscitates America’s forgotten heroes but sheds light on the Left’s most cherished figures, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Kennedys. With biting wit and devastating detail, McClanahan strikes back against the multicultural narrative peddled by liberal historians who make heroes out of pop-culture icons and corrupt politicians. In America’s hour of peril, McClanahan’s book is a timely and entertaining call to remember the heritage of this great nation and the heroes who built it. Brion McClanahan is author of The Founding Fathers’ Guide to the Constitution, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers, and holds an MA and Ph.D. in American history from the University of South Carolina. ungekürzt.
