The American Heritage History of World War I , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1141min
Drawing on a lifetime of military experience, Brigadier General S. L. A. Marshall, “one of our most distinguished military writers” (New York Times), delivers this unflinching history of the war that was supposed to end all wars. From the perspective of more than half a century, Marshall examines the blunders and complacency that turned what everyone thought would be a brief campaign and an easy victory into a relentless four-year slaughter that left ten million dead and twenty million wounded. As the war raged on, more efficient methods of war-making were devised: the flamethrower and poison gas were added to the world’s arsenals, tanks replaced cavalry, air combat and submarine warfare came into their own. And at the end, the exhausted combatants signed the Treaty of Versailles, which laid the groundwork for the dictatorships that would plunge the next generation into another world war. S. L. A. Marshall (1900–1977) was an accomplished journalist, a war correspondent, and a historian. One of the preeminent American military writers of our time, he wrote more than thirty books. ungekürzt.

Plymouth Colony , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min
Plymouth colony, also called New Plymouth, was a 16th century English Colony located at the fringe of Massachusetts Bay. Often known as the first settlement of Europeans on English terrain the formation of this colony (starting from 1620) has a story of its own. The story starts when a bunch of English Separatist Church congregants caught up to Plymouth Rock after months of sailing. With the help of neighbouring tribes these people were able to successfully establish an economy of their own.But more than its economic significance the reason why a settlement this old continues to interest historians is its strong religious influence on European, English and American folklore revolving around John Robinson, the pioneer of English separatists. Plymouth colony was determined not to be a monarchy state which led to the formation of the democratic Mayflower Compact consisting of 41 original separatists. It became a foundation to any further governmental decisions and legislations. Most laws were inspired from the English common law. A general code of conduct was devised using the Bible. The governor was considered as the supreme authority. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/109880/bk_acx0_109880_sample.mp3.

Miranda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 477min
Strong-minded, irrepressible Miranda Griscom is content working as a live-in housekeeper for the young Spafford family. Here she is loved and appreciated in contrast to her lonely childhood as an unwanted granddaughter. When a wealthy neighbor proposes marriage so that she can care for his motherless children, she is delighted to show him the door, proud that she is “a free and independent woman who can earn her own living”. In spite of her own sad beginning, Miranda has always championed the underdog. In her youth she devised a way to thwart the schoolteacher from unfairly giving the neighborhood bad boy a beating. Years later, in a comical plan involving mesmerizing and “ghosts”, she manages to catch the person responsible for the murder that caused her friend to flee the town. The story expands from the small town to include real personages of the mid 19th century: Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph; Dr. Marcus Whitman, missionary and blazer of the Oregon Trail. But it is chiefly the story of courageous-hearted, indomitable Miranda, a unique and endearing character. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Hancock.

Argo: How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min
The true account of the 1979 rescue of six American hostages from Iran On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the American embassy in Tehran and captured dozens of American hostages, sparking a 444-day ordeal and a quake in global politics still reverberating today. But there's a little-known footnote to the crisis: six Americans escaped. And a midlevel agent named Antonio Mendez devised an ingenious yet incredibly risky plan to rescue them. Armed with foreign film visas, Mendez and an unlikely team of CIA agents and Hollywood insiders - directors, producers, actors - traveled to Tehran under the guise of scouting locations for a fake film called Argo. While pretending to find the perfect scenery and backdrops, the team succeeded in contacting the escapees and smuggling them out of Iran without a single shot being fired. Antonio Mendez finally details the mind-bogglingly complex and dangerous operation he led more than three decades ago. A true story of secret identities and international intrigue, Argo is the gripping account of the history-making collusion between Hollywood and high-stakes espionage. ungekürzt. Language: English.
