Cracker!: The Best Dog in Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min
Cracker is one of the United States Army's most valuable weapons: a German shepherd trained to sniff out bombs, traps, and the enemy. The fate of entire platoons rests on her keen sense of smell. She's a Big Deal, and she likes it that way. Sometimes Cracker remembers when she was younger, and her previous owner would feed her hot dogs and let her sleep in his bed. That was nice, too. Rick Hanski is headed to Vietnam. There, he's going to whip the world and prove to his family, his sergeant, and everyone else who didn't think he was cut out for war that they were wrong. But sometimes Rick can't help but wonder that maybe everyone else is right. Maybe he should have just stayed at home and worked in his dad's hardware store. When Cracker is paired with Rick, she isn't so sure about this new owner. He's going to have to prove himself to her before she's going to prove herself to him. They need to be friends before they can be a team, and they have to be a team if they want to get home alive. Told in part through the uncanny point of view of a German shepherd, Cracker! is an action-packed glimpse into the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of a dog and her handler. ungekürzt.

War Thug , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 242min
Two generations ago, the planet Earth was attacked by allied alien forces. Over 75 percent of humanity was killed during the invasion and attempted occupation. The carnage ended only when Earth-based military units devastated the home planets of the invaders using untested technology from the most advanced research labs on the planet. The attacking aliens fled. They were chased down and eliminated by platoons of Space Navy SEALs, the most effective fighting force ever created. Each member of a Space Navy platoon has received enhancements to sight, hearing, healing, memory, and more. But no platoon had what the crew of the Blue Celeste had: War Thug. This one-man killing machine kept his troops safe while leaving not one alien alive - whether sentient or "bug" - on any planet they were assigned to in the War Council's permanent War Against Alien Aggression. The platoon's latest assignment is to rescue three scientists under attack from a planet full of vicious Xenos. When they touch down, however, the 12-SEAL unit finds that nothing is what it seems. As soldier after soldier vanishes, War Thug and his team must try to find them as well as extract the scientists while the Xenos close in. War Thug is an action-packed trip into a world of alien terror, bloody battles, and a deadly conspiracy spanning the entire galaxy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicholas Thurkettle.

Summary of Red Platoon by Clinton Romesha | Includes Analysis Red Platoon: A True Story of American Valor by Clinton Romesha is a memoir of the October 2009 Battle of Kamdesh, in which hundreds of Taliban insurgents attacked Keating, the most remote American combat outpost in Afghanistan. For 14 hours, the Black Knight Troop fought to defend their post. The memoir provides a detailed account of the battle, and how Romesha, the staff sergeant of Red Platoon, executed a counterattack that helped save Keating along with many of his men, and earned him a Medal of Honor. Upon arriving at Keating in late May 2009, the Black Knight Troop - divided into the Red, Blue, White, and Headquarters Platoons and tasked with preparing the base for shutdown - saw right away how vulnerable they were. Established in 2006, the camp was located at the base of steep mountains and bounded by rivers in isolated Nuristan Province. Because Keating was at the bottom of a valley....

The Greatest Battles in History: The Battle of El Alamein , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min
The desert was quivering with heat. The gun detachments and the platoons squatted in their pits and trenches, the sweat running in rivers down their dust-caked faces. There was a terrible stench. The flies swarmed in black clouds upon the dead bodies and excreta and tormented the wounded. The place was strewn with burning tanks and carriers, wrecked guns and vehicles, and over all drifted the smoke and the dust from bursting high explosives and from the blasts of guns. - Cecil Ernest Lucas-Phillips "It may almost be said, 'Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.'" - Winston Churchill The United States began 1942 determined to avenge Pearl Harbor, but the Allies, now including the Soviet Union by necessity, did not agree on war strategy. In 1941, both the Germans and British had moved armies into North Africa, where Italy had already tried and failed to reach the Suez Canal. The British sought American help in North Africa, where British General Bernard Montgomery was fighting the legendary "Desert Fox", General Erwin Rommel. At the same time, Stalin was desperate for Allied action on the European continent that could free up the pressure on the besieged Soviets. Roosevelt eventually sided with Churchill and decided to land American forces on North Africa to assist the British against Rommel, much to Stalin's chagrin. With the Axis forces trying to push through Egypt towards the Suez Canal and the British Mandate of Palestine, American forces landed to their west in North Africa. This ultimately compelled Rommel to try to break through before the Allies could build up and overwhelm them with superior numbers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.
