Title: Black Fortunes
Author: Shomari Wills
Narrator: Ron Butler
Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-30-18
Publisher: Harper Audio
Genres: History, American
Summary:
The astonishing untold history of America's first black millionaires - former slaves who endured incredible challenges to amass and maintain their wealth for a century, from the Jacksonian period to the Roaring '20s - self-made entrepreneurs whose unknown success mirrored that of American business heroes such as Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and Thomas Edison.
While Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Michael Jordan, and Will Smith are among the estimated 35,000 black millionaires in the nation today, these famous celebrities were not the first blacks to reach the storied 1 percent. Between the years of 1830 and 1927, as the last generation of blacks born into slavery were reaching maturity, a small group of smart, tenacious, and daring men and women broke new ground to attain the highest levels of financial success.
Black Fortunes is an intriguing look at these remarkable individuals, including Napoleon Bonaparte Drew - author Shomari Wills' great-great-great-grandfather - the first black man in Powhatan County (contemporary Richmond) to own property in post-Civil War Virginia. His achievements were matched by five other unknown black entrepreneurs including:
A fresh, little-known chapter in the nation's story - a blend of Hidden Figures, Titan, and The Tycoons - Black Fortunes illuminates the birth of the black business titan and the emergence of the black marketplace in America as never before.

Title: An African American and Latinx History of the United States
Author: Paul Ortiz
Narrator: J. D. Jackson
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-30-18
Publisher: Beacon Press
Genres: History, American
Summary:
An intersectional history of the shared struggle for African American and Latinx civil rights
Spanning more than 200 years, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history arguing that the "Global South" was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress, as exalted by widely taught formulations such as "manifest destiny" and "Jacksonian democracy," and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms American history into the story of the working class organizing against imperialism.
In precise detail, Ortiz traces this untold history from the Jim Crow-esque racial segregation of the Southwest, the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the 20th century, to May 1, 2006, International Workers' Day, when migrant laborers - Chicana/os, Afro-Cubanos, and immigrants from nearly every continent on earth - united in resistance on the first "Day Without Immigrants".
Incisive and timely, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a bottom-up history told from the viewpoint of African American and Latinx activists and revealing the radically different ways people of the diaspora addressed issues still plaguing the United States today.

Title: A More Beautiful and Terrible History
Author: Jeanne Theoharis
Narrator: Kim Staunton
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 17 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-30-18
Publisher: Beacon Press
Genres: History, 20th Century
Summary:
Explodes the fables that have been created about the civil rights movement
The civil rights movement has become national legend, lauded by presidents from Reagan to Obama to Trump, as proof of the power of American democracy. This fable, featuring dreamy heroes and accidental heroines, has shuttered the movement firmly in the past, whitewashed the forces that stood in its way, and diminished its scope. And it is used perniciously in our own times to chastise present-day movements and obscure contemporary injustice.
In A More Beautiful and Terrible History, award-winning historian Jeanne Theoharis dissects this national mythmaking, teasing apart the accepted stories to show them in a strikingly different light. We see Rosa Parks as not simply a bus lady but a lifelong criminal justice activist and radical; Martin Luther King Jr. as challenging not only Southern sheriffs but Northern liberals, too; and Coretta Scott King as not only a "helpmate" but a lifelong economic justice and peace activist who pushed her husband's activism in these directions.
Moving from "the histories we get" to "the histories we need", Theoharis challenges nine key aspects of the fable to reveal the diversity of people, especially women and young people, who led the movement; the work and disruption it took; the role of the media and "polite racism" in maintaining injustice; and the immense barriers and repression activists faced. Theoharis makes us reckon with the fact that far from being acceptable, passive, or unified, the civil rights movement was unpopular, disruptive, and courageously persevering. Activists embraced an expansive vision of justice - which a majority of Americans opposed and which the federal government feared.
By showing us the complex reality of the movement, the power of its organizing, and the beauty and scope of the vision, Theoharis proves that there was nothing natural or inevitable about the progress that occurred. A More Beautiful and Terrible History will change our historical frame, revealing the richness of our civil rights legacy, the uncomfortable mirror it holds to the nation, and the crucial work that remains to be done.

Título: Todo lo que debe saber sobre la 1 Guerra Mundial [Everything you need to know about the 1st World War]
Autor: Jesús Hernández
Narrador: Eduardo Wasveiler
Formato: Unabridged
Duración: 9 hrs and 22 mins
Idioma: Español
Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18
Editor: Audible Studios
Categorías: History, 20th Century
Resumen:
En Junio de 1914 el asesinato del archiduque Francisco Fernando de Austria provocó la primera "guerra total" de la historia: un conflicto que cambiará el destino del mundo.
Normalmente no se presta a la Primera Guerra Mundial la debida atención, las estanterías, rebosantes de libros sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial, no tienen mucho sitio para su predecesora. Esta fantástica obra de Jesús Hernández viene a arrojar luz sobre este conflicto fundamental para entender gran parte de los enfrentamientos políticos del S.XX, como la propia Segunda Guerra Mundial, y algunos de los que aún siguen abiertos en pleno S.XXI, por ejemplo, los combates entre israelíes y palestinos. En Todo lo que debe saber sobre la Primera Guerra Mundial conoceremos no sólo los datos más importantes de la contienda, también misterios que aún no han sido resueltos, leyendas y mitos, curiosidades históricas, y una descripción de la dureza de la vida en las trincheras.
Pone Jesús Hernández sus abundantes conocimientos a disposición de un estilo narrativo impecable, ágil y exacto, y consigue recrear las escenas más sobresalientes del resurgimiento milagroso del ejército francés que salvó París en 1914, o la espontánea tregua navideña del frente oriental, o el fracaso de las batallas de Chemin des Dammes y de Passchendeale donde unos oficiales engreídos enviaron a una muerte segura a miles de soldados. Además de aclararnos misterios como la desaparición del regimiento de Norfolk en Turquía y explicarnos el origen de leyendas como la de que un ejército de arqueros fantasmas ayudaron a los aliados.

Title: Hippie Food
Author: Jonathan Kauffman
Narrator: George Newbern
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-23-18
Publisher: Harper Audio
Genres: History, 20th Century
Summary:
An enlightening narrative history - an entertaining fusion of Tom Wolfe and Michael Pollan - that traces the colorful origins of once unconventional foods and the diverse fringe movements, charismatic gurus, and counterculture elements that brought them to the mainstream and created a distinctly American cuisine.
Food writer Jonathan Kauffman journeys back more than half a century - to the 1960s and 1970s - to tell the story of how a coterie of unusual men and women embraced an alternative lifestyle that would ultimately change how modern Americans eat. Impeccably researched, Hippie Food chronicles how the longhairs, revolutionaries, and back-to-the-landers rejected the square establishment of President Richard Nixon's America and turned to a more idealistic and wholesome communal way of life and food.
From the mystical rock-and-roll cult known as the Source Family and its legendary vegetarian restaurant in Hollywood to the Diggers' brown bread in the Summer of Love to the rise of the co-op and the origins of the organic food craze, Kauffman reveals how today's quotidian whole-foods staples - including sprouts, tofu, yogurt, brown rice, and whole-grain bread - were introduced and eventually became part of our diets. From coast to coast, through Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Vermont, Kauffman tracks hippie food's journey from niche oddity to a cuisine that hit every corner of this country.
A slick mix of gonzo playfulness, evocative detail, skillful pacing, and elegant writing, Hippie Food is a lively, engaging, and informative listen that deepens our understanding of our culture and our lives today.

Título: Breve historia de Winston Churchill [A Brief History of Winston Churchill]
Autor: José-Vidal Pelaz López
Narrador: Juanmi Diez
Formato: Unabridged
Duración: 9 hrs and 6 mins
Idioma: Español
Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18
Editor: Audible Studios
Categorías: History, 20th Century
Resumen:
"Es por ello que escuchar Breve historia de Winston Churchill es una de las experiencias más gratas y emocionantes que se pueden tener en estos momentos yque le hará comprender mucas de las claves de la actual situación mundial, pues la sola presencia de este líder marcó el pasado y presente del mundo en el que vivimos." (historiaconminusculas.blogspot.com.es)
Combinando tres facetas fundamentales de la vida de Winston Churchill - su vida privada, su trayectoria políticay bélica, y el contexto histórico en el que ambas se desarrollaron-, Breve Historia de Winston Churchill nos presenta la biografía del político que gobernó Inglaterra durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero que, además, luchó en la Guerra del 98, en la Guerra de los Boers, que participó en la Primera Guerra Mundial como Lord del Almirantazgo y asistió al duro proceso de descolonización de Inglaterra. José-Vidal Pelaz López nos presenta su vida de un modo ameno y accesible a cualquier oyenteinteresado en esta figura imprescindible del S. XX.
Churchill nace en 1874 hijo de un lord de la época victoriana y de una bella americana, crece en plena época de esplendor del Imperio victoriano, y asiste al progresivo declive del imperio. La vida política de Churchill está marcada por su actividad constante y por procesos decrisis y gloria que marcan el perfil de un hombre que supoimplicarse en todos sus proyectos hasta sus últimas consecuencias. Miembro del los liberales y de los conservadores ingleses; dirigente de varios ministeriospero destituido tras el desastre de Gallípolli en la Primera Guerra Mundial; apartado de la política desde 1929 a 1939 y elegido Primer Ministro al año siguiente; capaz deenfrentarse en solitario a la Alemania del Führer, de lograr un acuerdo con E.E.U.U. y Rusia que cambiará el sentido de la guerra, pero incapaz de ser reelegido en 1945; y, en un último golpe de carisma, elegido de nuevo como Primer Ministro en 1951, con 71 años, en plena Guerra Fría: la vida de Churchill es una lección de determinación y compromiso, pero también un relato apasionante y turbulento como el siglo que le tocó administrar.

Title: In Broad Daylight
Author: Patrick Desbois
Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 39 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-23-18
Publisher: Brilliance Audio
Genres: History, 20th Century
Summary:
In The Holocaust by Bullets, Father Patrick Desbois documented for the first time the murder of 1.5 million Jews in Ukraine during World War II, based on wartime documents, interviews with locals, and the application of modern forensic practices on long-hidden gravesites. Nearly a decade of further work by his team, drawing on interviews with 5,000 neighbors of the Jews, has resulted in stunning new findings about the extent and nature of the genocide.
The mass killings took place across the Eastern Front, in seven countries formerly part of the Soviet Union invaded by Nazi Germany. They followed a secret template, or repeatable script, that included a timetable and involved local inhabitants in the mechanics of death to ensure complicity, whether it was to cook for the killers; to clear, dig, and cover the graves; to witness their Jewish neighbors being marched off; or to take part in the slaughter.
Narrating in lucid, powerful prose that has the immediacy of a crime report, Father Desbois assembles a chilling account of how, concretely, these events took place in village after village, from the selection of the date to the twenty-four-hour period in which the mass murders unfolded. Today, such groups as ISIS put into practice the Nazis' lessons on making genocide efficient.

Title: World War II Auschwitz: A History from Beginning to End
Author: Hourly History
Narrator: Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr
Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr
Language: English
Release date: 01-22-18
Publisher: Hourly History
Genres: History, 20th Century
Summary:
Auschwitz is a monument to the barbaric inhumanity of the Nazi regime. It is the site where more than one million people were systematically tortured and killed in support of Adolf Hitlers determination to eradicate entire populations that he viewed as racially impure. Dr. Josef Mengele conducted horrific experiments on live victims, treating his subjects as if they werent human. The Jews, homosexuals, Communists, Jehovahs Witnesses, and the mentally and physically disabled were less than human to the Nazis. The Final Solution, a cornerstone of Nazi ideology, enacted a devastating sentence upon people whose only crime was their ethnic origin or their religious and political beliefs.
But the voices of Auschwitz continue to be heard. Anne Franks diary speaks for all the innocent who were sent there. Elie Wiesel spent his life speaking out against the horrors he and others endured at Auschwitz. The recorded histories of the survivors of the camps keep the memories alive for generations whose only knowledge of the Holocaust would otherwise be through a school assignment to read The Diary of Anne Frank or by watching a movie like Schindlers List.
Auschwitz holds a bizarre fascination for those who hear about it. How could such evil thrive? How could an entire nation surrender to the rantings of a diabolical man who sought revenge against the followers of a religion? The names reverberate in a gallery of maniacs who purported to be leaders: Hitler, Goebbels, Mengele, Goering, Himmler, and the countless others who supported them.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr and 26 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-19-18
Publisher: We Can't Be Beat LLC
Genres: History, 21st Century
Summary:
In 1979, the seeds of social media were sown by Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis, and the result of that action would give rise to a monster that would not only change the world of communication forever, but also have great impact in all our lives. However, no one was prepared for the ensuing chaos that would be wrought by this new trend.
Every one of us crave the likes, the glamour, the followership, the sheer power to influence people worldwide; for the first time in the history of man, we can be heard and be seen by anyone on the globe connected to the Internet. That somewhat dark desire that was once hidden within us has suddenly been exposed by social media, and the world can't deal.
In this audiobook, the author takes you back in time to where it all started: a brief history of human communication, from yelling and cave writings up to the birth of social media. He elaborates on the significant and obvious benefits of social media as well as its drawbacks, and provides detailed information on its mind control capabilities while proffering solutions on how we can keep our sanity as we learn to properly utilize and grow with social media.

Title: The Girl on the Velvet Swing
Author: Simon Baatz
Narrator: Christine Lakin
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 24 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-16-18
Publisher: Hachette Audio
Genres: History, 20th Century
Summary:
From New York Times best-selling author Simon Baatz, the first comprehensive account of the murder that shocked the world.
In 1901 Evelyn Nesbit, a chorus girl in the musical Florodora, dined alone with the architect Stanford White in his townhouse on 24th Street in New York. Nesbit, just 16 years old, had recently moved to the city. White was 47 and a principal in the prominent architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. As the foremost architect of his day, he was a celebrity, responsible for designing countless landmark buildings in Manhattan. That evening, after drinking champagne, Nesbit lost consciousness and awoke to find herself naked in bed with White. Telltale spots of blood on the bed sheets told her that White had raped her.
She told no one about the rape until, several years later, she confided in Harry Thaw, the millionaire playboy who would later become her husband. Thaw, thirsting for revenge, shot and killed White in 1906 before hundreds of theatergoers during a performance in Madison Square Garden, a building that White had designed.
The trial was a sensation that gripped the nation. Most Americans agreed with Thaw that he had been justified in killing White, but the district attorney expected to send him to the electric chair. Evelyn Nesbit's testimony was so explicit and shocking that Theodore Roosevelt himself called on the newspapers not to print it verbatim. The murder of White cast a long shadow: Harry Thaw later attempted suicide, and Evelyn Nesbit struggled for many years to escape an addiction to cocaine.
The Girl on the Velvet Swing, a tale of glamour, excess, and danger, is an immersive, fascinating look at an America dominated by men of outsize fortunes and by the the women who were their victims.

Title: Confederaphobia: An American Epidemic
Author: Paul C. Graham
Narrator: Bill Izard
Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr and 44 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-11-18
Publisher: Shotwell Publishing
Genres: History, American
Summary:
For 150 years Confederate monuments and other memorials dotted the American landscape. Few people objected. After all, a third of the American people are descended from Confederate soldiers and Congress has officially and legally declared Confederates to be "American veterans".
That time has passed.
There is an epidemic of hate and fear sweeping the land; a wave of hostility and intolerance that shows no sign of slowing or stopping; its fury is directed at Southern symbols - flags, monuments, and other displays - in fact everything Southern now appears to be a target. Paul C. Graham has courageously examined this case of mass hysteria; a condition he has aptly dubbed "Confederaphobia".
"It's one thing," writes Graham, "to acknowledge that the meaning of symbols is one of perspective. It's quite another thing to have the meaning dictated by ideologues who are not participants in the cultural tradition.... Southern symbols mean to the Southerner exactly what they say that they do...speak for those people for whom Southern identity is a living reality."
Southern people are growing weary of the ongoing demonization; of being bullied and harassed; and have begun to realize that Confederaphobia is not a matter of monuments, but a campaign to expunge their identity.
If you are a self-identified Southerner, you are a potential target!
It's not too late to inoculate yourself from the dangerous effects of this disease, but this is only possible if you recognize the problem.
The problem is not Confederate flags, monuments, markers, belt-buckles, stickers, do-dads, knick-knacks, what-nots, or Dukes of Hazzard re-runs - the problem is Confederaphobia!
