Mokhtar Alkhanshali grew up in San Francisco, one of seven siblings raised by Yemeni immigrants in a tiny apartment. At age 24, unable to pay for college, he works as a doorman. Until: a statue of an Arab raising a cup of coffee awakens something in him. He sets out to learn the rich history of coffee in Yemen and the complex art of tasting and identifying varietals. He travels to Yemen, collects samples of beans, eager to bring improved cultivation methods to the farmers. And he is on the verge of success when civil war engulfs Yemen in 2015 and he is trapped in Sana'a. Desperate to escape, he embarks on a passage that has him twice kidnapped at gunpoint, dodging US-made bombs dropped by the Saudi air force, and crossing the Red Sea onboard an unsafe skiff, all the while carrying two suitcases of coffee. A heart-pounding true story that weaves together the history of coffee, the ongoing Yemeni civil war, and the courageous journey of a young man - a Muslim and a US citizen - following the most American of dreams.

A forgotten heroine. A war-torn romance. And a historian determined to uncover the truth. Untold millions who saw Band of Brothers can finally know the whole story of what happened to American soldiers and civilians in Bastogne during that arduous Winter of 1944/45. In the television version of Band of Brothers, a passing reference is made to an African nurse assisting in an aid station in Bastogne. When military historian Martin King watched the episode, he had to know who that woman was; thus began a multi-year odyssey that revealed the horror of a town under siege as well as an improbable love story between a white Army medic, Jack Prior, and his black nurse, Augusta Chiwy, as they saved countless lives while under constant bombardment. Based on the recent discovery of Prior's diary as well as an exhaustive and occasionally futile search for Augusta herself, King was at last able to bring belated recognition of Augusta's incredible story by both the US Army and Belgian government shortly before she died. This is not only a little-known story of the Battle of the Bulge, but also the author's own relentless mission to locate Augusta and bestow upon her the honors she so richly deserved.

This introduction - the prelude to the Spanish seizure of Mexico City and to European colonization of the mainland of the Americas - has long been the symbol of Cortés' bold and brilliant military genius. Montezuma, on the other hand, is remembered as a coward who gave away a vast empire and touched off a wave of colonial invasions across the hemisphere. But is this really what happened? In a departure from traditional tellings, When Montezuma Met Cortés uses "the Meeting" - as Restall dubs their first encounter - as the entry point into a comprehensive reevaluation of both Cortés and Montezuma. Drawing on rare primary sources and overlooked accounts by conquistadors and Aztecs alike, Restall explores Cortés' and Montezuma's posthumous reputations, their achievements and failures, and the worlds in which they lived - leading, step by step, to a dramatic inversion of the old story. As Restall takes us through this sweeping, revisionist account of a pivotal moment in modern civilization, he calls into question our view of the history of the Americas and, indeed, of history itself.

By the end of March 1918, Germany's Spring Offensive had thrown British forces back over the old Somme battlefields. But this last push failed, and with the stalemate of trench warfare broken, the Allies swept from near defeat to victory. However, their joy was tempered by sorrow. Too many would not come home. For the Germans, the mood was despairing as their 'endless columns rolled eastward', the November fog and rain adding to their melancholy. Memorable reminiscences include an evocative portrait of poet Wilfred Owen, killed shortly before the armistice; American troops on their initiation into the horrors of battle; and reflections on the 'punitive' demands of the Paris Peace Conference. As the Treaty of Versailles was being drafted, the German navy decided its own fate in one final act of defiance, witnessed by a group of schoolchildren on an outing in Scapa Flow. These enduring recollections from the men who fought and the women who waited are a poignant and powerful reminder of the shocking realities of the war. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Lincoln Paine takes us back to the origins of long-distance migration by sea with our ancestors' first forays from Africa and Eurasia to Australia and the Americas. He demonstrates the critical role of maritime trade to the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley. He reacquaints us with the great seafaring cultures of antiquity like those of the Phoenicians and Greeks as well as those of India and Southeast and East Asia, who parlayed their navigational skills, shipbuilding techniques, and commercial acumen to establish thriving overseas colonies and trade routes in the centuries leading up to the age of European expansion. And finally, his narrative traces how commercial shipping and naval warfare brought about the enormous demographic, cultural, and political changes that have globalized the world throughout the post-Cold War era.

While the gate would provide immediate relief for the farmer, would it not also confer legitimacy on the wall and on the court that deems it legal? The defense of human rights is often marked by such ethical dilemmas, which are especially acute in Israel, where lawyers have for decades sought redress for the abuse of Palestinian rights in the country's High Court - that is, in the court of the abuser. In The Wall and the Gate, Michael Sfard chronicles this struggle - a story that has never before been fully told - and in the process engages the core principles of human rights legal ethics. Sfard recounts the unfolding of key cases and issues, ranging from confiscation of land, deportations, the creation of settlements, punitive home demolitions, torture, and targeted killings - all actions considered violations of international law. In the process, he lays bare the reality of the occupation and the lives of the people who must contend with that reality. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

A través de una narración amena, alejada del academicismo habitual, el lector conocerá episodios de la historia africana que muy probablemente desconozca. Se han seleccionado los temas que más pueden interesar al público general y se han desechado aquellos, como las discusiones historiográficas o la enumeración de fechas, que suelen pertenecer al ámbito académico. El audio libro, además, derrumbará algunos estereotipos como el que se refiere a un continente sin historia, detenido en el estadio tribal. La historia africana es dinámica, continua, con altos y bajos, con períodos de esplendor y decadencia, y su conexión con el resto del mundo es más grande de lo que se suele pensar. La historia mundial no sería la misma sin África y África no sería lo que es hoy sin sus contactos con el resto de la humanidad. En esta grabación el oyente encontrará una historia que jamás le han explicado y que, sin duda, cambiará su manera de ver el mundo. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

En la obra el oyente descubrirá muchos hechos que fueron determinantes y que no han sido contados ni revelados por la historia oficial narrados de forma objetiva aspectos tanto positivos como negativos de cada uno de los protagonistas." (Web Comparte libros) "Historia oculta de la conquista de América, de Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo, donde se abordan los hechos omitidos de la historia oficial y la leyenda negra del Descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo, que esconde gran cantidad de situaciones no divulgadas, hechos cuyas dobleces determinaron el destino final de los acontecimientos, paradojas que muchos recopiladores dejaron en el tintero." (Revista Enigmas) Historia oculta de la conquista de América pretende rescatar aquellos hechos que tuvieron relevancia para el desarrollo de la conquista de América y para la posterior configuración tanto de las fronteras sudamericanas como de la propia identidad hispanoamericana. Son hechos olvidados por la distancia temporal entre aquellos hombres y nosotros, o también ninguneados por aquellos que pretendieron acrecentar su fama u ocultar sus delitos, no obstante algunos de ellos, como la incidencia de las enfermedades en colonos e indígenas o las diversas leyendas y expediciones en busca de El Dorado, son fundamentales para comprender cómo se realizó la conquista de América y qué puntos de contacto entre españoles y americanos han formado la identidad hispanoamericana. Reúne Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo una ingente cantidad de información tomada de las propias crónicas de los europeos que servirá para que comprendamos los pormenores de la conquista de América. Veremos cómo las enfermedades ayudaron a Cortés y a Pizarro en sus conquistas de Tenochtitlán o de Cuzco, pero hubo otras epidemias que afectaron a ambos bandos como el tifus o la influenza, y aún hubo otras como la malaria, la fiebre amarilla o el paludismo que diezmaron sólo a los colonos; tampoco se ha dado mucha importancia en la historia oficial al papel de los perros de guerra que utilizaron los españoles, los alanos, y que permitieron, en muchos casos, vencer a los numerosos ejércitos americanos; también nos detallará episodios apasionantes como la búsqueda de El Dorado que se convirtió en una auténtica aventura exploratoria, o los distintos casos de canibalismo en las filas españolas; pero, dentro del horror que marca las batallas de la conquista, encontrará el autor un hueco para las relaciones amorosas y amistosas, que también han quedado recogidas, entre españoles y americanos.

Magallanes y Elcano: travesía al fin del mundo nos traslada toda la aventura, la pasión, la crueldad, y el heroísmo de esta gesta, y nos da a conocer datos poco tratados en este tipo de obras como qué papel real tenían los reyes en estas expediciones, cuál eran las competencias de los capitanes en estas aventuras, cómo se formaban la flota que se embarcaba o cómo solventaban los problemas de alimentación y de bebida en unos viajes en los que, en la mayoría de los casos, las cartografías eran inexactas o directamente inexistentes. En 1519 parten desde Sevilla cinco naves y 256 hombresbajo el mando de Magallanes, un navegante nacido en Portugal que rechazó su nacionalidad y fué nombrado capitán por el emperador Carlos I, 14.500 leguas y tres años después regresará a suelo español una sola nave, con 17 hombres y capitaneada por Juan Sebastián Elcano. Gabriel Sánchez nos traslada con toda su viveza esta epopeya en la que los hombres de Magallanes tuvieron que superar motines, naufragios en islas abandonadas, deserciones, batallas contra los indígenas, enfermedades, y hambrunas. La ruta parte desde Sevilla y toma rumbohacia América desde las Islas Canarias, ya en América pasarán por Río de Janeiro, Montevideo y entrarán en el Río de la Plata creyendo que el paso al Pacífico estaría allí,este error dará comienzo a las primeras disidencias en latropa, agravadas por tener que obedecer a un capitán extranjero en una misión cuyo destino se había ocultado deliberadamente. Pasan el invierno en el sur de Argentina y es cuando la tripulación se amotina, Magallanes ajusticiará a los amotinados llegando a descuartizar a Juan de Cartagena. Pero el momento más duro será cuando, tras la euforia de cruzar América, se enfrentarán a un océano cuya extension no conocían, dos meses de travesía sin víveres en los que comieron, ratas, serrín, e incluso cuero. En 1521 llegan, tras no pocas visicitudes a las islas Filipinas y desde ahí irán al islote de Mactán donde, Magallanes, en una batalla innecesaria contra los indios locales, morirá por una fleche envenenada. En septiembre de 1522 pisaron de nuevo suelo español, sólo quedaban 17 marineros y una nave, pero habían conseguido confirmar que la tierra era redonda y habían comprobado la inmensidad del Pacífico.

Schon vor Kriegsausbruch - von 1933 bis 1939 - saßen in den Gefängnissen und Konzentrationslagern über drei Millionen Menschen. Bis Kriegsende mussten über 7,5 Millionen Fremd- und Zwangsarbeiter Frondienste für Hitler und seine Clique leisten. So erschreckend diese Zahlen sind, so erschreckend ist auch die Grausamkeit, mit der Hitlers Schergen folterten und mordeten. Über sechs Millionen Juden, Sinti und Roma und andere Verfolgte wurden umgebracht, und es wären noch Millionen hinzugekommen, hätte das Ende des Krieges das Morden nicht gestoppt. Wie konnte es zu all diesem Schrecken kommen? Wie war die Macht verteilt und organisiert, und wie wurde die Herrschaft durchgesetzt? Diese und andere zentrale Fragen beantwortet das Hörbuch übersichtlich. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Kontakt: info@hotaudiobook.com

Iraq did make some advancement in establishing their government that replaced the era of Saddam Hussein by having a line of elections for regional governments and parliament. Yet, the governing organizations are weak and corrupted. The country is not ready to heal, as it is always in a state of conflict. If there is no external conflict, there is one that is happening internally. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

MacFadden, Frank Lavin Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 01-18-18 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: History, Military Summary: Carl Lavin was a high school senior when Pearl Harbor was attacked. The Canton, Ohio, native enlisted when he turned 18, a decision that would take him with the US Army from training across the United States and Britain to combat with the 84th Infantry Division in the Battle of the Bulge. Home Front to Battlefront is the tale of a foot soldier who finds himself thrust into a world where he and his unit grapple with the horrors of combat, the idiocies of bureaucracy, and the oddities of life back home - all in the same day. It is based on Carl's personal letters, his recollections, and those of the people he served beside, official military history, private papers, and more. Home Front to Battlefront contributes the rich details of one soldier's experience to the broader literature on World War II. Lavin's adventures, in turn disarming and sobering, will appeal to general listeners, veterans, educators, and students of the war. As a history, the audiobook offers insight into the wartime career of a Jewish Ohioan in the military, from enlistment to training through overseas deployment. As a biography, it reflects the emotions and the role of the individual in a total war effort that is all too often thought of as a machine war in which human soldiers were merely interchangeable cogs. Published by Ohio University Press. "If you like American history, or military history, or just a good narrative yarn, do check out "Home Front to Battlefront." - Bill Kristol, Weekly Standard "Carl Lavin's combined letters and memoir are an invaluable contribution to the literature on the American G.I.'s experiences in World War II." - Peter S. Kindsvatter, author of American Soldiers: Ground Combat in the World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

Sunday Times and Independent Books of the Year 2012. The moments that it took Gavrilo Princip to step forward to the stalled car and shoot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife were perhaps the most fateful of the modern era. An act of terrorism of staggering efficiency, it fulfilled its every aim: it would liberate Bosnia from Habsburg rule, and it created a powerful new Serbia, but it also brought down four great empires, killed millions of men and destroyed a civilization. What made a seemingly prosperous and complacent Europe so vulnerable to the impact of this assassination? In The Sleepwalkers Christopher Clark retells the story of the outbreak of the First World War and its causes. Above all, it shows how the failure to understand the seriousness of the chaotic, near genocidal fighting in the Balkans would drag Europe into catastrophe. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

This made more difficult an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines. The stories in this book cover the Swift Boats' early years, which saw search-and-inspect operations in Vietnam's coastal waters, and their later years, when the Swift Boats' mission shifted to the Mekong Delta's labyrinth of 3,000 miles of rivers, streams, and canals. This is an intimate, exciting oral history of Swift Boats at war in Vietnam. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
