But when the war for independence sparked in 1776, colonists united under the banner of religious freedom. Evangelical frontiersmen and Deist intellectuals set aside their differences to defend a belief they shared, the right to worship freely. Inspiring an unlikely but powerful alliance, it was the idea of religious liberty that brought the colonists together in the battle against British tyranny. 2020 | ASIN: B08GPGSY5S | Français/English | MP3 | M4B | 4 hrs 06 mins | 225.9 MB Expatrié en France depuis plusieurs années, l'humoriste et comédien Paul Taylor puise son inspiration dans son quotidien et les situations loufoques provoque?es par la rencontre de nos deux cultures. 2021 | ASIN: B08SHQFG82 | Français/English | MP3 | M4B | 4 hrs 33 mins | 249.8 MB Le comédien et humoriste déjanté Paul Taylor, connu en France pour sa série télévisée What the Fuck France et son spectacle #Franglais, revient sauver vos cours d'anglais !

What connects these separate events is more than immediate devastation and human loss of life. In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith contends that using fire as a symbolic and literal thread connecting different places around the world allows us to better understand the parallel, and related, trends of the growth of authoritarian politics and climate crises and their interconnected global consequences. English | ASIN: B007C67JT0 | 2012 | 15 hours and 45 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 429 MB The British Empire was the creation of a tremendous outpouring of energy and opportunism, when the British were at their most self-confident, and the wealth they gathered was prodigious. At its heart lay a sense of the rectitude of the British way of life, meted out to vast swathes of the rest of the world without let or hindrance.Yet, as this book explains, the empire was not formed by coherent policy, and its decline reflected this: its later years were characterised by a series of accidental oversights, decisions taken without due consideration for the consequences, and uncertain pragmatism. Many of the world's trouble spots are those left behind by the chaotic retreat of empire, and its ghosts continue to haunt today's international scene. This powerful book addresses the realities of the British Empire from its inception to its demise, questioning the nature of its glory and cataloguing both the inadequacies of its ideals and the short-termism of its actions.

Twenty-eight C-130 cargo aircraft were converted into AC-130s for night attack operations. The AC-130 was crude, ugly, ad hoc, and detested by many within the USAF...but it worked, and it worked well. Likewise, AC-130 crews were deemed unruly "biker gangs" but performed magnificently in every major US military operation from 1976 to 1995. Most of these combat operations were cloaked in secrecy, but records once classified for up to 20 years have now been opened. Based on this newly declassified information and hundreds of interviews with SOF veterans, Ghostriders 1976-1995 is the first authoritative historical account of the AC-130 operations, written by an AC-130 aerial gunner who participated in every AC-130 combat operation from 1980 through 1994.
