Tommy: A World War II Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 353min
Based on interviews conducted with the author’s father, this fictionalized account brings to life the true character of a man involved in the battle of Ten-Go, a Japanese kamikaze naval offensive. In the aftermath of the battle for Okinawa, Tommy has utterly changed, just like everyone else on board the USS Bataan. As a lieutenant commander and expert navigator, Tommy has long understood the horrors of this war and he has spent his military career battling both the enemy and the brass. With mathematical genius he has challenged military procedure, refined naval ballistics, and exposed flaws in U.S. antiaircraft firing strategy. And although the battle of Ten-Go resulted in an Allied victory, the death toll was high and Tommy’s best friend is among them. This is the story of a brilliant though reluctant warrior, a man who would go on to great success in industry - but would gladly give that success up to change the mind of one kamikaze. ungekürzt.

The Great Raid on Cabanatuan: Rescuing the Doomed Ghosts of Bataan and Corregidor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min
Before General MacArthur could fulfill his stirring promise of "I shall return" and retake the Philippines from Japanese control, a remarkable rescue mission would have to take place. Captured American soldiers, emaciated and ill from brutal mistreatment, were still being held at the notorious Cabanatuan prison camp. A small band of Army Rangers set out on a daring rescue effort: to penetrate thirty miles into Japanese-controlled territory, storm the camp, and escape with the POWs, carrying them if necessary. Breuer recounts in searing, meticulous detail the full story of this thrilling true-life adventure and inspiring testament to American heroism and grit. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Pinay Guerrilleras: The Unsung Heroics of Filipina Resistance Fighters During the Pacific War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 157min
December 8, 1941, marked the start of the full-scale invasion of the Philippines. With the surrender of the Bataan Peninsula and the fortified island, Corregidor, in the spring of 1942, all hope seemed lost. But, almost overnight, the Philippine underground resistance began to take shape. Units made up of guerrilla volunteers from all walks of life participated in the liberation of the Philippines. The women guerrillas of the resistance, or guerrilleras, are one such group who have received less attention in Pacific theater histories. The names and faces of those Filipina guerrilla soldiers who led their own units, conducted espionage, nursed the wounded, led raids, or raised armies have nearly been forgotten. The rigid gender barriers that guerrilleras faced, both on and off the field of duty, resulted in their stories being silenced or relegated to less commanding roles in the aftermath of the war. This audiobook attempts to bring these stories to light, so that the legacy of these unsung Filipina resistance fighters lives on. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Diana Scala.

Rants Redux , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min
Why are Americans so disinterested in politics? Because we can be. Democracy is voluntary. And our lack of interest hasn't happened overnight. It can be traced directly back to our ever-decreasing attention spans. We need anything politically important rationed out like Pez - small, sweet, and coming out of a funny plastic head. Why has flying in this country, especially boarding the plane, turned into this tedious Bataan death march with American Tourister overnight bags? And when did flight attendants get so cranky? Who do we find ourselves locked in this pointless pas de doo-doo over something called "arts funding?" The federal tab involved here is a lousy 500 million dollars. One-fifth the national budget! Less than the money spent on 1-900 calls from Air Force One. Mothers, immigration, marriage, parenthood, sports, political correctness, and our general attitudes toward each other - all are equally worthy of Dennis Miller's close inspection and ridicule. What's really going on in this country? Ask Dennis Miller. Or don't ask. He'll tell you anyway. Not that he really wants to go off on another rant. Remember, it's only his opinion, he could be wrong. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Miller. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bant/000243/bk_bant_000243_sample.mp3.
