The year is 1943. The war in the Pacific enters its 11th month, and there is no sign of it slowing down. The Japanese Empire has conquered most of the theater, except for Australia and a few outlying islands in the Solomons that the Allies have been able to liberate.

Hearing the Echoes is a raw, unflinching memoir about living with the unrelenting auditory hallucinations of combat—mortar rounds slamming into the ground, explosions ripping through silence, and machine gun fire that erupts without warning. For years, these intrusive sounds dictated the terms of every interaction, fracturing relationships, demanding constant withdrawal, and leaving no room for sustained connection. This is not a story of transcendence or complete recovery.

Operation Chrome Dome uncovers one of the Cold War’s most astonishing and unsettling secrets: for years, the United States kept nuclear-armed B-52 bombers flying around the clock, ready to launch a retaliatory strike at a moment’s notice. This gripping, factual narrative takes readers inside the hidden world of airborne deterrence—where “peace” was protected by aircraft carrying weapons capable of ending entire cities, and where routine missions depended on perfect discipline, flawless technology, and a constant battle against fatigue, weather, and human error.

American forces in the Pacific faced an enemy unlike any in history. Soldiers who chose death over surrender, launched suicidal banzai charges, and crashed planes into ships. This wasn't madness. It was doctrine. Three cultural forces created history's most fanatical fighters. The ancient bushido code weaponized for modern war. The gyokusai belief that made surrender worse than death. And the emperor worship that convinced millions to die for a living god.

Delta Force: The Missions is a gripping and unflinching chronicle of America’s most secretive and elite special operations unit. From its birth in the shadows of the late 1970s to its pivotal role in some of the most complex and dangerous missions of the modern era, this book takes listeners deeper into the Unit’s operational history than ever before. These are the stories of the men who step quietly into the world’s most volatile situations—fully aware that success will remain classified and failure may alter history.

When World War I began in August 1914, the British confidently predicted that it would be "over by Christmas." In Berlin, Kaiser Wilhelm II told his soldiers that they would be "home before the leaves fall." But by late December, it was clear not only that the war was far from over, but also that this would be a more destructive and deadly conflict than any that had come before. On the Western Front, British troops faced the Germans across two opposing lines of trenches.

L'exploit d'Oskar Schindler est connu, celui de Felix Kersten l'est beaucoup moins. Pourtant, un mémorandum du Congrès juif mondial établissait dès 1947 que cet homme avait sauvé en Allemagne « 100 000 personnes de diverses nationalités, dont environ 60 000 juifs ». Pour reconstituer cette dernière au travers des archives, des mémoires, des journaux, des notes et des dépositions des principaux protagonistes, il fallait un historien spécialiste de la Seconde Guerre mondiale qui soit également polyglotte.

Em nome do fascismo, muitos mataram e morreram, países foram destruídos e populações foram exterminadas. Este audiolivro explica o que de fato é fascismo e o que não é. Descreve o fenômeno historicamente, das origens aos seus desdobramentos mais terríveis, com perseguições, massacres e a guerra. Esclarece o que o fascismo dizia ser, mas, principalmente, o que foi e como foi vivenciado pelas pessoas e pelas sociedades que atingiu. Reconstrói o período em que o fascismo esteve no poder ou pareceu ser uma alternativa política viável na Europa.

What does it truly cost to survive war, and who carries the burden when the fighting comes home? Unbreakable Valor is a raw, firsthand account drawn from real-world U.S. Army Special Forces missions, written by retired Green Beret combat medic and physician assistant Drew Webb. Through unfiltered storytelling, Webb takes listeners inside the firefights, medical trauma, and impossible decisions of combat in Afghanistan, then follows the quieter aftermath few ever witness.

The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) was the third most powerful navy in the world at the start of World War II, and came to dominate the Pacific in the early months of the war. This book details the Japanese ships which fought in the Pacific and examines the principles on which they were designed, how they were armed, when and where they were deployed and how effective they were in battle.

The world changed on Sept 11th 2001 and again May 2nd, 2011 but for me, the real transformation unfolded over months of training, deployment, and the long journey home. This war diary is not just a record of events but a reflection of the duality of life in service—a world where chaos meets connection, where exhaustion coexists with resilience, and where longing for home becomes both an anchor and a driving force.

Surviving Hell is a harrowing account of Lieutenant Colonel William Miner, taken prisoner for 39 months after his unit surrendered to the Japanese on the island of Cebu, Philippines, during World War II. Despite losing every friend in his unit and suffering from torture and deprivation that would “warp men’s souls,” Bill Miner professed, “I am lucky. People fell beside me and people were blown apart beside me. Anywhere I went as a prisoner, I tried to be aware of the situation and use it the best I could to survive.”

Den 1. september 1939 angriber Hitler Polen. Landet skal erobres lynhurtigt, før Storbritannien og Frankrig når at komme til hjælp. De massive tyske panserdivisioner buldrer frem, effektivt støttet af Luftwaffe, der smadrer den polske hærs bastioner og ødelægger broer, veje og radiostationer. I foråret 1940 ruller den tyske blitzkrieg igen gennem Europa. På få måneder falder Danmark, Norge, Holland, Belgien og Frankrig. Men da Hitler sender Luftwaffe mod Storbritannien, må den tyske diktator erkende, at briterne er sejere end forventet.

En el Madrid de 1936 surge la conmovedora historia del doctor Georges Henny, delegado de Cruz Roja Internacional, uno de los héroes humanitarios que tuvo el valor de enfrentarse a los horrores de una guerra sin cuartel, despiadada y brutal. Alrededor del joven pediatra suizo confluyeron las iniciativas a favor de todas las víctimas de la contienda en una ciudad golpeada por el asedio de las tropas franquistas y por la represión republicana, que tuvo en Paracuellos del Jarama uno de sus capítulos más siniestros.

In this essential dual collection, Meditations & The Art of War, discover the foundational texts that shaped Western and Eastern thought. By combining the Stoic wisdom of Marcus Aurelius with the strategic brilliance of Sun Tzu, this volume creates a comprehensive guide for navigating modern life with grace and effectiveness.

In 1914 a war began that destroyed nearly everything in its path: lives, countries, empires, and the world as it was known until that moment. And while destruction could be found almost everywhere around the world in its aftermath, nowhere was more marred than that of the Western Front; the scars of which still haunt us to this day.

Why do some leaders triumph effortlessly while others struggle in constant conflict? The answer lies in strategy, not force. The Art of War is the world's most influential guide to success, studied by historical figures from Napoleon to modern CEOs. Sun Tzu teaches that while conflict is inevitable, destruction is not.

Fascinated by the expeditions of Sir Francis Drake and Captain James Cook? Then you’ll love this account of the Centurion’s circumnavigation of the globe, one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of maritime exploration and naval warfare. In 1740, George Anson and his fleet set off to harass Spanish commerce in the Pacific and attack towns on the coasts of Chile and Peru. Four years later, over half the men had died and of the seven ships which left Portsmouth only the Centurion had completed its objective of attacking Spanish possessions around the globe.
