    The Last Lieutenant: A Foxhole View of the Epic Battle for Iwo Jima , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 336min
    Iwo Jima: two words that will forever bring to mind the 36 days of continual, chaotic combat in which the U.S. Marines fought the entrenched Japanese for every inch of the tiny volcanic island. When it was over, more than 26 thousand Americans were killed or wounded, and only slightly more than two hundred Japanese defenders survived. Twenty-seven Medals of Honor were awarded - many posthumously. Jim Craig was a platoon commander with the Marines on Iwo Jima. This is his story, as told to his nephew John C. Shively. In a particularly vivid and exciting account of some of the most intense fighting of the Pacific War, the immediacy of the story is heightened by the detail that Shively's research has added to Craig's recollections. The result will pull you onto the beach, into the foxhole, and over Mount Suribachi with those who lived, fought, and died on Iwo Jima. The book is published by Indiana University Press. ungekürzt.

    Visions From a Foxhole: A Rifleman in Patton's Ghost Corps, Hörbuch, Digital, 119min
    An absolutely harrowing first-person account of the 94th Infantry Division's bold campaign to break through Hitler's "impregnable" Siegfried line at the end of World War II. Eighteen-year-old William Foley was afraid the war would be over before he got there, but the rifleman was sent straight to the front lines, arriving January 25, 1945 - just in time to join the 94th Infantry Division poised at Hitler's legendary West Wall. By the time Foley finally managed to grab a few hours sleep three nights later, he'd already fought in a bloody attack that left 60 percent of his battalion dead or wounded. That was just the beginning of one of the toughest, bloodiest challenges the 94th would ever face: breaking through the Siegfried Line. Now, in Visions from a Foxhole, Foley recaptures that desperate, nerve-shattering struggle in all its horror and heroism.Features the author’s artwork of his fellow soldiers and battle scenes, literally sketched from the foxholeLook for these remarkable stories of American courage at war:Behind Hitler’s Lines: The True Story of the Only Soldier to Fight for Both America and the Soviet Union in World War II by Thomas H.

    An Atheist in the FOXhole: A Liberal's Eight-Year Odyssey into the Heart of the Right-Wing Media , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 581min
    The "Fox Mole" - whose dispatches for Gawker made headlines in Businessweek, The Hollywood Reporter, and even on The New York Times website - delivers a funny, opinionated memoir of his eight years at the unfair, unbalanced Fox News Channel working as an associate producer for Bill O'Reilly. Imagine needing to hide your true beliefs just to keep a job you hated. Now imagine your job was producing the biggest show on the biggest cable news channel in America, and you’ll get a sense of what life was like for Joe Muto. As a self-professed bleeding-heart, godless liberal, Joe’s viewpoints clearly didn’t mesh with his employer - especially his direct supervisor, Bill O’Reilly. So he did what any ambitious, career-driven person would do. He destroyed his career, spectacularly. He became Gawker’s so-called Fox Mole. Joe’s posts on Gawker garnered more than 2.5 million hits in one week. He released footage and information that Fox News never wanted exposed, including some extremely unflattering footage of Mitt Romney. The dragnet closed around him quickly - he was fired within 36 hours - so his best material never made it online. Unfortunate for his career as the Fox Mole, but a treasure trove for book listeners. An Atheist in the FOXhole has everything that liberals and Fox haters could desire: details about how Fox’s right-wing ideology is promoted throughout the channel; why specific angles and personalities are the only ones broadcasted; the bizarre stories Fox anchors actually believed (and passed on to the public); and tales of behind-the-scenes mayhem and mistakes, all part of reporting Fox’s version of the news. ungekürzt.

    A Veteran's Tale: A Short Autobiography of Dakota Diamond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
    This is a short autobiography of my life experiences while in the military. It shall be placed in all of my future books to help my listeners understand why I wrote and why I continue to write. When I first started to think of writing, I was in a foxhole in a war zone as an American soldier. Being a scared 21-year-old, I was lacking sleep, tired, stressed, and dirty. Eating cigarettes for breakfast while my ripped and torn-up clothes were rotting off my body, my thoughts seemed to be a little delusional at the time. I believed that writing down my thoughts would help me cope with my current life of death, destruction, misery, bullets, bombs, chemicals, and the enemy charging toward me. ungekürzt.

    Selling at Combat Speed: Finding the Inner Sales Warrior , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 384min
    Selling at Combat Speed - Finding the Inner Sales Warrior is for people who get up in the morning to make a difference in other people's lives. It is about changing your habits and behaviors, and realizing that your life and those around you depend upon sales. It is designed for those who crawl into the trenches every day, look the enemy square in the eyes, and never give into defeat. When the sales bullets (the average person calls them objections) start flying and while most are running for cover, the real warriors welcome and overcome them. Instead of looking at the customer as the enemy, we share the foxhole with them and together battle through our differences until we reach the common objective. And at the end of the day when the smoke has finally cleared and the dust has settled, it is you, the sales warrior who stands alone. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erich Bailey.

    Based on an incredible true story, a young marine fights an unbelievable battle in the abyss of Vietnam. Get a front row seat to the intense action, courage, and sacrifice he and other marines endured.  Experience the ferocity of battle, the deep bonds of brotherhood, and the stinging sweat of fear that hangs persistently over the jungle canopy.

This is the gripping story of Marine Corporal Danny Lane and other young marines who stood the faith with God and the Marine Corps during the most agonizing times that no one would want to endure. Instead of a hero's welcome, he and other survivors came home to a country that didn't honor their sacrifices. War is hell, but for some, surviving is worse! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Fighting in the Great Crusade: An 8th Infantry Artillery Officer in World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 551min
    Fighting in the Great Crusade combines the terse clarity of George E. Schwend's World War II combat journals with Gregory Daddis's expert commentary on the greater context of that conflict. The result is the rare military work that counterpoints historical and strategic analysis against a foxhole-level view of the war in Europe as US soldiers experienced it.Schwend's story, which typifies that of young American citizen soldiers on whom the Allied cause depended, follows a draftee through the rigors of basic training and Officer Candidate School and into the grim theater of the European campaigns in 1944 and 1945. The accretion of detail forms a grittily realistic day-to-day account of military life, while Daddis's expansive historical backdrop invests with poignance even such routines as Schwend's faithful attendance at movie screenings as the soldier - and listeners - anticipate the fateful Normandy invasion.Schwend observes that despite the rigors of his training nothing could have prepared him or his comrades for the savagery of the actions in which they fought.The book is published by Louisiana State University Press. ungekürzt.
