War has always led to prisoners. In ancient times, many were turned into slaves by the victorious armies, while in medieval Europe, they were often returned to their families in return for a ransom, leading to fortune or poverty depending upon which side one was on. By the Napoleonic era, as armies grew in size and professionalism, many were kept in camps for the duration of the fighting, their captors not wanting to restore their enemies' manpower while the fate of nations hung in the balance.
In the first half of the 20th century, war was fought on a global and industrial scale. Millions of men were flung into the grinder of World War I and World War II, leading to commensurately huge numbers of prisoners of war (POWs). Camps were built to hold thousands of captives, with their own barracks blocks, parade grounds, and even farms. In World War I, there were several fronts in the war - Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany faced each other on the Western Front, fought mostly in northeast France and Belgium, while Germany and Austria Hungary faced Russia on the Eastern Front, where much of the war was fought in East Prussia and what is now Poland. The Italians and Austrians fought in the region of northeast Italy, and the Austrians and Bulgarians faced Serbia and then later an Allied army based in Salonica in the Balkans. The Ottomans faced Russia in northeast Anatolia, the British and Allied forces in the Mesopotamian campaign (mainly in today's Iraq), the British in Palestine, and the Allies at Gallipoli.
Furthermore, there were subsidiary areas of conflict. African troops under European officers largely fought on the African front. German troops in East Africa faced British troops from India, South Africa, Portugal, and Belgium. There was submarine warfare in the Atlantic, German commerce raiders in the Pacific, and the Japanese besieged the German base of Qingdao in China. There were even naval battles between British and German fleets off Chile and Argentina.

Author: Sophie Williams
Narrator: Sophie Williams
The Glass Cliff is a conversation about what happens when women break the rules, and break through The Glass Ceiling. Have you ever wondered why there are so few success stories of women in business leadership? Or maybe you've wondered what life is really like on the other side of The Glass Ceiling? The world of work is supposedly changing, embracing diversity - yet are the opportunities we're giving to women really equal to those of men? Drawing on almost 20 years of research from around the world, The Glass Cliff phenomenon - whereby women are often only hired in leadership roles when a business is already underperforming, meaning their chances of success are limited before they ever even start in the role - is well established, but little known. Until now.

English | ASIN: B0C82M7ZS9 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~10:40:00 | 293 MB
Wall Street Journal reporters and authors of The Club, Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg tell the riveting saga of how Formula 1 broke through in America, detailing the eclectic culture of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, gearheads, engineering geniuses, dashing racers, and bitter rivalries that have made F1 the world's fastest growing sport.
For decades in America, car racing meant NASCAR, and to a lesser extent IndyCar, with Formula 1-the wealthiest racing league in the world-a distant third. Fast forward to 2023, and F1 has emerged at the front of the pack powered by a passionate yet nascent American fanbase. The F1 juggernaut has arrived, but this checkered flag was far from inevitable.
In The Formula, Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg tell the epic story of how F1 saved itself from collapse and finally conquered America through guile, fearlessness, and above all, reinvention. With fast cars, big money, glamorous locales, and beautiful people as the backdrop, The Formula reveals how F1's sudden arrival in the US was actually decades in the making, a product of the sport's near-constant state of transformation and experimentation. Bringing unique insight and access to F1's most storied teams and personalities-from Ferrari to Bernie Ecclestone to Christian Horner to Lewis Hamilton-The Formula offers a riveting portrait of the drivers, corporations, cars, rivalries, and audacious gambles that have shaped the sport for half a century.

English | ASIN: B0C3P6GLM9 | 2024 | 8 hours and 2 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 232 MB
Author: Sarah McCammon
Narrator: Sarah McCammon
The first definitive book that names the massive social movement of people leaving the church: the exvangelicals. Growing up in a deeply evangelical family in the Midwest in the '80s and '90s, Sarah McCammon was strictly taught to fear God, obey him, and not question the faith. Persistently worried that her gay grandfather would go to hell unless she could reach him, or that her Muslim friend would need to be converted, and that she, too, would go to hell if she did not believe fervently enough, McCammon was a rule-follower and-most of the time-a true believer. But through it all, she was increasingly plagued by fears and deep questions as the belief system she'd been carefully taught clashed with her expanding understanding of the outside world.

English | ASIN: B0BQCQBBSC | 2022 | MP3@64 kbps | ~06:55:00 | 196 MB
"Turing writes on codebreaking with understandable authority and compelling panache." (Michael Smith, best-selling author of Station X)
The Enigma cipher was supposed to be the German's impenetrable defence for its military communications against prying eyes during World War II. All manner of secrets were entrusted to it. When the Allies finally managed to crack the code, it heralded a turning point in the war.
Written by Dermot Turing-the nephew of famous codebreaker Alan Turing-The Enigma Story reveals the efforts of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the machines called 'bombes' specially designed to break it, and the vast resources devoted in America to decrypting German messages. From the cloak-and-dagger heroics of men like Hans-Thilo Schmidt and Gustave Bertrand to the brilliant mathematical discoveries of men like Henryk Zygalski and Dilly Knox to the fraught decision-making of Allied High Command, the battle for the code was at the heart of the Allied victory in World War II.

Author: Robert Sirico | Narrator: Jon Gauger
Timeless and moral economic wisdom for life's choices and changes derived from the parables of the New Testament by famed free market advocate and Catholic priest Robert Sirico.
Libraries are filled with books on the parables of Christ, and rightly so. In the words of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, "While civilizations have come and gone, these stories continue to teach us anew with their freshness and their humanity." Two millennia later, the New Testament parables remain ubiquitous, and yet, few have stopped to glean from one of Christ's most prevalent analogies: money.
