All the Kremlin's Men: Inside the Court of Vladimir Putin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 973min
All the Kremlin's Men is a gripping narrative of an accidental king and a court out of control. Based on an unprecedented series of interviews with Vladimir Putin's inner circle, this book presents a radically different view of power and politics in Russia. The image of Putin as a strongman is dissolved. In its place is a weary figurehead buffeted - if not controlled - by the men who at once advise and deceive him. The regional governors and bureaucratic leaders are immovable objects, far more powerful in their fiefdoms than the president himself. So are the gatekeepers - those officials who guard the pathways to power - on whom Putin depends as much as they rely on him. The tenuous edifice is filled with all of the intrigue and plotting of a Medici court, as enemies of the state are invented and wars begun to justify personal gains, internal rivalries, or one faction's biased advantage. A best seller in Russia, All the Kremlin's Men is a shocking revisionist portrait of the Putin era and a dazzling reconstruction of the machinations of courtiers running riot.

After all, he's seen hundreds of them in his career. He soon discovers this one isn't a hoax, though - and neither is the backwoods hunter who's suddenly developed healing abilities in Pennsylvania. The only thing the two have in common are the strange, possibly extradimensional rifts spontaneously appearing nearby. As Stone digs deeper, he finds forces aligned against him - including some of his most trusted and powerful friends. Why are they warning him away from the rifts? And more importantly, why do they refuse to give him a reason?

Susie delves into a thorny issue for parents. "My teenager is having sex.... No way, not my baby!" Many American moms and dads wish their high-schoolers had no interest in sex - and therefore the kids are sleeping together, but not at the family home. Two recent articles from Slate and The New York Times looked at allowing teens to have sex at home, and Susie discusses the pros of letting kids sleep together. Next, this just in from the UK's Telegraph: the blockbuster erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey is now becoming an immovable paper mountain at the local charity thrift stores. Seems like the heat has died down, and British readers are donating their books - and the stores are being overrun with copies they can't sell. Finally, in Susie's "What's New on Audible" segment, she previews another new-and-sexy audiobook. This week's book, by Keith Sampsell, is A Common Pornography: A Memoir. Susie loves this author and says the audiobook is sad, funny, and intimate. She has an excerpt, narrated by Craig Jessen, for you to enjoy. Have a question?

From an eminent international security scholar, an urgent examination of the conditions that could produce a catastrophic conflict between the United States and China??-??and how it might be prevented.China and the United States are heading toward a war neither wants. The reason is Thucydides's Trap: when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling one, violence is the likeliest result.

At the time of publication, an unstoppable China approached an immovable America, and both Xi Jinping and Donald Trump promised to make their countries "e;great again,"e; the seventeenth case was looking grim??-??it still is. A trade conflict, cyberattack, Korean crisis, or accident at sea could easily spark a major war. In Destined for War, eminent Harvard scholar Graham Allison masterfully blends history and current events to explain the timeless machinery of Thucydides's Trap??-??and to explore the painful steps that might prevent disaster today.

The Cost of Chaos (eBook, ePUB)
From a preeminent national security journalist, an explosive account of Donald Trump's collision with the American national security establishment, and with the world It is a simple fact that no president in American history brought less foreign policy experience to the White House than Donald J. Trump. The real estate developer from Queens promised to bring his brash, zero-sum swagger to bear to cut through America's most complex national security issues, and he did. If the cost of his "America First" agenda was bulldozing the edifice of foreign alliances that had been carefully tended by every president from Truman to Obama, then so be it. Very quickly, it became clear to a number of people at the highest levels of government that their gravest mission was to protect America from Donald Trump. Trump and His Generals is Peter Bergen's riveting account of what happened when the unstoppable force of President Trump met the immovable object of America's national security establishment--the CIA, the State Department, and, above all, the Pentagon. If there is a real "deep state" in DC, it is not the FBI so much as the national security community, with its deep-rooted culture and hierarchy. The men Trump selected for his key national security positions, Jim Mattis, John Kelly, and H. R. McMaster, were products of that culture: Trump wanted generals, and he got them. Three years later, they would be gone, and the guardrails were off.- Shop: buecher
