    The Resistible Rise of Benjamin Netanyahu , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
    Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the longest serving Prime Ministers of Israel. For much of the world, Netanyahu is a right-wing nationalist zealot; for many Israelis he is a centrist who is too soft on Arabs and backs down too easily in a fight. Love him or loathe him, Netanyahu has been at the very centre of Arab-Israeli politics since 1990, when he became the telegenic Israeli spokesman for CNN's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, arguably ushering in the Americanization of the Israeli media. Netanyahu is famous for his TV skills, but there is so much more to reveal - good and bad - about the man and his place in Israeli, Middle Eastern and world political history. At present there is no major profile of Netanyahu in the English language, so the publication of this audiobook is a landmark of considerable importance, especially as in March 2015 he was reelected for a further term in office. Using the juncture of the Oslo Accords to take the listener back to Netanyahu's formative years, Neill Lochery, a renowned scholar of Middle Eastern politics and history, chronicles not only the Prime Minister's life but also the issues his career has encompassed, from the rise of militant Islam to the politics of oil; from the transformation of Israeli politics by the 24-7 cable news cycle to the US' changing role in the Middle East. ungekürzt.

    Katholische Wegbereiter des Nationalsozialismus
    Das Schicksalsjahr 1933 wurde und wird umfassend erforscht, aber man kann noch Neues entdecken. Zum Beispiel in der katholischen Stadt Münster die von Hitlers Vizekanzler Franz von Papen animierte Gruppe prominenter katholischer Autoren, die zögernde Zentrumswähler dem Nationalsozialismus zuführen sollten. Es waren so prominente Professoren der Theologie wie Michael Schmaus und Joseph Lortz. Auch der katholische Schriftsteller Josef Pieper schrieb kraftvoll mit.Kurt Flasch untersucht ihre Argumentation und beschreibt ihre historische Position. Sie "bewiesen" mit ihren Mitteln die providentielle Verwandtschaft von Kirche und Nationalsozialismus. Es geht nicht um Entlarvung oder späte Entnazifizierung. Die schriftstellernden Täter sind bekannt. Sie wurden angesehenste Lehrer in der frühen Bundesrepublik; das macht sie zu einem erforschenswerten Element der deutschen Kontinuität nach 1945.The fateful year 1933 has been and is still being extensively investigated, but one can still make discoveries. For example, in the Catholic city of Münster, the group of prominent Catholic authors animated by Hitler's Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen to make hesitant centrist voters move over to National Socialism. They were such prominent professors of theology as Michael Schmaus and Joseph Lortz. The Catholic writer Josef Pieper also assiduously made his voice heard. Their common aim was to "prove" what they believed to be the providential kinship of the Church and National Socialism. Kurt Flasch examines their reasoning and describes their historical position. It is not a matter of debunking or late denazification. The perpetrators who wrote are well known. They became most respected teachers in the early German Federal Republic; this makes them an element of post-1945 German continuity worth exploring.

    Bill Clinton: A Biography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
    Bill Clinton is an American politician who served as the 42nd president of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Clinton previously served as governor of Arkansas from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992, and as the State's attorney general from 1977 to 1979. A member of the Democratic Party, ideologically Clinton was a New Democrat, and many of his policies reflected a Centrist Third Way philosophy of governance. Clinton was born and raised in Arkansas, and is an alumnus of Georgetown University, where he was a member of Kappa Kappa Psi and Phi Beta Kappa and earned a Rhodes Scholarship to attend the University of Oxford. Clinton is married to Hillary Clinton, who served as the US secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, and who was a senator from New York from 2001 to 2009. Both Clintons earned law degrees from Yale Law School, where they met and began dating. As governor of Arkansas, Clinton overhauled the state's education system, and served as Chair of the National Governors Association. Clinton was elected president in 1992, defeating incumbent George H. W. Bush. At age 46, Clinton was the third-youngest president, and the first from the Baby Boomer Generation. Clinton presided over the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in American history, and signed into law the North American Free Trade Agreement. After failing to pass national health care reform, the Democratic House was ousted when the Republican Party won control of the Congress in 1994, for the first time in 40 years. Two years later, Clinton became the first Democrat since Franklin D. Roosevelt to be elected president twice. Clinton passed Welfare Reform and the State Children's Health Insurance Program, providing health coverage for millions of children. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Bogart.

    History for Kids: An Illustrated Biography of Bill Clinton for Children , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
    In Charles River Editors’ History for Kids series, your children can learn about history’s most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid’s attention all the way to the end. It would be impossible to sum up the life and legacy of Bill Clinton in one sentence or even one paragraph, as the former president represents many different things to many different people. Indeed, the yin and yang of Clinton’s life and career are inescapable. Widely hailed as the greatest politician of his era, Clinton proved to be his own worst enemy, creating unnecessary scandals through his womanizing. Clinton was one of the first politicians to truly connect with young adults, yet in the process he provided ludicrous sound bytes like “I did not inhale”. Long considered the Democratic Party’s greatest spokesman and surrogate, Clinton’s presidency was defined by centrist “triangulation”. And though he is still publicly popular and considered a great president, Clinton became just the second president to be impeached in the House of Representatives. Regardless of what Americans think of him, one thing Clinton does represent is the American dream. Born to a single mother in Hope, Arkansas, Clinton used his ambition, hard work and intelligence to become a Rhodes scholar. As a teenager, a meeting with President Kennedy helped drive him toward politics, which he pursued after getting his law degree at Yale, where he met future wife Hillary Rodham. Clinton left office with budget surpluses and a high approval rating, despite the never-ending controversies swirling around him, and he has since doubled as a political surrogate. ungekürzt.

    Sometime in my 16th year, I decided I wanted to be in public life as an elected official. I loved music and thought I could be very good, but I knew I would never be John Coltrane or Stan Getz. I was interested in medicine and thought I could be a fine doctor, but I knew I would never be Michael DeBakey. But I knew I could be great in public service. - Bill Clinton "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life." - Hillary Clinton It would be impossible to sum up the life and legacy of Bill Clinton in one sentence or even one paragraph, as the former president represents many different things to many different people.

    Perfect for ages 7-10 , this book weaves the lives of Bill and Hillary into one short, entertaining, and educational narrative. It would be impossible to sum up the life and legacy of Bill Clinton in one sentence or even one paragraph, as the former president represents many different things to many different people.

Born to a single mother in Hope, Arkansas, Clinton used his ambition, hard work and intelligence to become a Rhodes scholar. As a teenager, a meeting with President Kennedy helped drive him toward politics, which he pursued after getting his law degree at Yale, where he met future wife Hillary Rodham. During the presidential campaign in 1992, Clinton announced that by voting for him, Americans would get two presidents “for the price of one.” The reference to his wife Hillary signified that she would be no ordinary First Lady, and indeed she was employed frequently by her husband in the White House to try to push legislation through Congress, most notably universal healthcare. While that proved to be one of the Clinton Administration’s greatest failures, Hillary and her staff continued to act as a political surrogate for the president during his two terms. Of course, describing Hillary Clinton as just a First Lady belittles all of her accomplishments.
