    Pegasus Bridge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
    In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, a small detachment of British airborne troops stormed the German defense forces and paved the way for the Allied invasion of Europe. Pegasus Bridge was the first engagement of D-day, the turning point of World War II. This gripping account of it by acclaimed author Stephen Ambrose brings to life a daring mission so crucial that, had it been unsuccessful, the entire Normandy invasion might have failed. Ambrose traces each step of the preparations over many months to the minute-by-minute excitement of the hand-to-hand confrontations on the bridge. This is a story of heroism and cowardice, kindness and brutality - the stuff of all great adventures. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur Morey.

    Rescuing the Gospel: The Story and Significance of the Reformation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
    The Reformation unfolded in the cathedrals and town squares of Europe - in Wittenberg, Worms, Rome, Geneva, and Zurich - and it is a stirring story of courage and cowardice, of betrayal and faith. The story begins with the Catholic Church and its desperate need for reform. The dramatic events that followed are traced from John Wycliffe in England, to the burning of John Hus at the stake in Prague, to the rampant sale of indulgences in the cities and towns of Germany, to Martin Luther nailing the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in 1517, to John Calvin's reform of Geneva. Erwin W. Lutzer captures the people, places, and big ideas that fueled the Reformation and explains its lasting influence on the church and Western civilization. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Last to Die: A Forgotten Bomber and the Final Air Combat of World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
    On August 18, 1945, US Army Sergeant Anthony J. Marchione bled to death in the clear, bright sky above Tokyo. Marchione, a gunner in the US Air Force, died, like so many before him in World War II, quietly, cradled in the arms of a buddy. Though tragic, Marchione's death would have been no more notable than any other had he not had the dubious distinction of being the last American killed in World War II combat. Based on official American and Japanese histories, personal memoirs, and the author's exclusive interviews with many of the story's key participants, Last to Die is a rousing tale of air combat, bravery, cowardice, hubris, and determination, all set during the turbulent and confusing final days of World War II. ungekürzt.

    The Last Battle: When US and German Soldiers Joined Forces in the Waning Hours of World War II in Europe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
    May 1945. Hitler is dead, and the Third Reich is little more than smoking rubble. No GI wants to be the last man killed in action against the Nazis. But for cigar-chewing, rough-talking, hard-drinking, hard-charging Captain Jack Lee and his men, there is one more mission: rescue 14 prominent French prisoners held in an SS-guarded castle high in the Austrian Alps. It's a dangerous mission, but Lee has help from a decorated German Wehrmacht officer and his men, who voluntarily join the fight. Based on personal memoirs, author interviews, and official American, German, and French histories, The Last Battle is the nearly unbelievable story of the most improbable battle of World War II - a tale of unlikely allies, bravery, cowardice, and desperate combat between implacable enemies. ungekürzt.

    Conservatism Inc.: The Battle for the American Right , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 413min
    Conservatism Inc. is a compilation of first-rate journalistic pieces written in the heat of the moment by James Kirkpatrick, during one of the most intense periods of contemporary American politics - the events surrounding the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States. But Conservatism Inc. is also a concerted critique of an entire political class from the ground up, with special regard for the failings and cowardice of contemporary American conservatism. With all the uncompromising and fearless wit of a latter-day H. L. Mencken, Kirkpatrick cuts to the bone of contemporary events, exposing the essential, and enduring questions lying beneath transient events. This book thus serves as a timely reminder of one of the watershed democratic moments of recent American history, a stinging survey of the sorry American political scene, and an admonitory revelation of what is fundamentally at stake in our current politics. ungekürzt.

    The Committee: The Story of the 1976 Union Drive at The New Yorker Magazine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
    In 1976, following years of harsh cutbacks to salaries and benefits at the New Yorker, editorial workers - the fact-checkers, copy editors, and other paraliteraries - finally took a stand and began a drive to unionize the storied magazine. But strong-willed longtime editor William Shawn's fierce resistance to unionization kicked off a stalemate between management and their subordinates. Daniel Menaker, author of the acclaimed My Mistake and former fiction editor of the New Yorker and executive editor in chief of Random House, documents that conflict through humorous personal recollections and previously unpublished letters by Shawn himself, providing a revelatory window into the mind of one of the great editors of our time. The Committee, which previously appeared in n+1, is a story of hypocrisy, outrage, courage, cowardice, and dental benefits - all within the offices of the world's greatest magazine. ungekürzt.
