Free Download Ben Hughes, Christopher Douyard (Narrator), "The Siege of Fort William Henry: A Year on the Northeastern Frontier"
English | ASIN: B0CQ3VYKMY | 2023 | M4B@64 kbps | ~09:55:00 | 297 MB
The opening years of the French and Indian War were disastrous for the British. Hindered by quarrelsome provincial councils, incompetent generals, and the redcoats' inability to adapt to wilderness warfare, Britain was losing the war. Learning that most of Britain's military resources were allocated to Louisbourg, the French launched a campaign along the weakened frontier. French Commander Louis-Joseph de Montcalm and his American Indian allies laid siege to Fort William Henry; Monro could not hold out and was forced to surrender. As part of the terms, the British regiment, colonial militia, and their camp followers would be allowed safe passage to nearby Fort Edward. The French watched in horror, however, as their Indian allies attacked the British column after it left the fort, an episode that sparked outrage and changed the tactics of the war.
Seen through the eyes of participants such as Louis Antoine de Bougainville, a scholarly young aide-de-camp, Jabez Fitch, an amiable Connecticut sergeant, and Kisensik, a proud Nipissing chief whose father once met Louis XIV in the marbled halls of Versailles, The Siege of Fort William Henry uses contemporary newspaper reports, official documents, private letters, and published memoirs to bring the narrative to life.

Free Download The Secret of Selling Anything by Harry Browne, Ayrton Parham, PLW Browne
English | 2020 | ISBN: B0899N6SSN | Format: Mixed / 5 hours and 12 minutes | 898 Mb
If you've listened to other selling books, you're probably tired of the false promises that never quite work out. You're probably tired of being told you can do it if you just believe you can.
You're probably tired of hearing about tricks that made a particular sale - tricks that may have been appropriate to a particular situation, but not yours - and even if they were appropriate, how would you have thought of them at the right time?
If you've listened to books on selling before or listened to "sales experts," you're probably tired of being pumped with hot air - told how you must "come alive," be full of enthusiasm, dominate the world around - all the things that don't happen to be a part of your basic nature.

Free Download The Russian Revolution by Sheila Fitzpatrick, Steve Fortune, Upfront Books
English | 2021 | ISBN: B08TZJC8F4 | 7 hours and 23 minutes / Format: M4B / Bitrate: 128 Kbps | 410 Mb
The Russian Revolution had a decisive impact on the history of the 20th century. In the years following the collapse of the Soviet regime and the opening of its archives, it has become possible to step back and see the full picture.
Starting with an overview of the roots of the revolution, Fitzpatrick takes the story from 1917, through Stalin's "revolution from above", to the great purges of the 1930s. She tells a gripping story of a Marxist revolution that was intended to transform the world, visited enormous suffering on the Russian people, and, like the French Revolution before it, ended up by devouring its own children.
This updated edition contains a fully revised introduction to address the centenary, and what it all means in retrospect.

Free Download The Rules Handbook: A Guide to Creating Loving and Lasting Relationships by Ellen Fein, Sherrie Schneider, Melinda Wade
English | 2023 | ISBN: B0CJKPFS8D | Format: MP3 / 8 hours and 5 minutes | 217 Mb
In their New York Times best-seller, The Rules, Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider shared their time-tested techniques for finding the "one." Controversial yet effective, The Rules has changed millions of women's lives all over the world since 1995. From Oprah to the Today Show, they helped women attract love through confidence and self-esteem.
Over the past 30 years, the world has changed dramatically. Today, anything goes with fast-paced dating and social media. While technology has accelerated the change (Instagram, texting, Tiktok), biology has remained the same. It is time for a much needed reminder.
The Rules Handbook was written out of necessity. Ellen and Sherrie were hearing from many of their readers who had successfully applied the original Rules's formula but experienced frustration when dealing others. They wanted a similar strategy to create loving and lasting relationships outside of romance as well. This led to coaching workshops to help others establish their own self-esteem, boundaries, and life philosophies.

Free Download The Rise of Tyranny: How Federal Agencies Abuse Power and Pose Risks to Your Life and Liberty (Audiobook)
English | October 09, 2020 | ASIN: B08KWR4V7V | M4B@64 kbps | 3h 49m | 104 MB
Author: Jonathan W. Emord | Narrator: Todd Eflin
Since the 1930s the Congress has delegated legislative, executive, and judicial powers to over 200 independent regulatory commissions. Those agencies enact over 90 percent of all federal law. They are ruled by individuals who are unelected and largely unaccountable to the Courts and Congress. Repeatedly they pursue their own self-interest at the expense of life and health.
Often the agencies become captives of the industry they regulate, as in the case of the FDA (captive to the pharmaceutical industry) because it is in the economic self interest of those who run the agency to obtain lucrative post government employment form the key industries regulated. The result is widespread corruption, biased and perverse enforcement of the law, and anti-competitive regulation.

Free Download The Rise of Rome: The Making of the World's Greatest Empire by Anthony Everitt, Clive Chafer, Tantor Audio
English | 2012 | ISBN: B009C18EJM | 14 hours and 18 minutes | 389 Mb
Emerging as a market town from a cluster of hill villages in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C., Rome grew to become the ancient world's preeminent power. Everitt fashions the story of Rome's rise to glory into an erudite book filled with lasting lessons for our time. He chronicles the clash between patricians and plebeians that defined the politics of the Republic. He shows how Rome's shrewd strategy of offering citizenship to her defeated subjects was instrumental in expanding the reach of her burgeoning empire. And he outlines the corrosion of constitutional norms that accompanied Rome's imperial expansion, as old habits of political compromise gave way, leading to violence and civil war. In the end, unimaginable wealth and power corrupted the traditional virtues of the Republic, and Rome was left triumphant everywhere except within its own borders.
Everitt paints indelible portraits of the great Romans - and non-Romans - who left their mark on the world out of which the mighty empire grew: Cincinnatus, Rome's George Washington, the very model of the patrician warrior/aristocrat; the brilliant general Scipio Africanus, who turned back a challenge from the Carthaginian legend Hannibal; and Alexander the Great, the invincible Macedonian conqueror who became a role model for generations of would-be Roman rulers. Here also are the intellectual and philosophical leaders whose observations on the art of government and "the good life" have inspired every Western power from antiquity to the present: Cato the Elder, the famously incorruptible statesman who spoke out against the decadence of his times, and Cicero, the consummate orator whose championing of republican institutions put him on a collision course with Julius Caesar and whose writings on justice and liberty continue to inform our political discourse today.
Rome's decline and fall have long fascinated historians, but the story of how the empire was won is every bit as compelling. With The Rise of Rome, one of our most revered chroniclers of the ancient world tells that tale in a way that will galvanize, inform, and enlighten modern listeners.

Free Download Yasheng Huang PhD, Rebecca Lam (Narrator), "The Rise and Fall of the East: How Exams, Autocracy, Stability, and Technology Brought China Success, and Why They Might Lead to Its Decline"
English | ASIN: B0CNS2Z977 | 2023 | M4B@64 kbps | ~17:44:00 | 501 MB
Chinese society has been shaped by the interplay of the EAST-exams, autocracy, stability, and technology-from ancient times through the present. Beginning with the Sui dynasty's introduction of the civil service exam, known as Keju, in 587 CE-and continuing through the personnel management system used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-Chinese autocracies have developed exceptional tools for homogenizing ideas, norms, and practices. But this uniformity came with a huge downside: stifled creativity.
Yasheng Huang shows how China transitioned from dynamism to extreme stagnation after the Keju was instituted. China's most prosperous periods, such as during the Tang dynasty (618-907) and under the reformist CCP, occurred when its emphasis on scale (the size of bureaucracy) was balanced with scope (diversity of ideas).
