Author: Saul David
Narrator: Adam James
From bestselling historian Saul David, a riveting new history of the British airborne experience across the Second World War. The legendary 'Red Devils' were among the finest combat troops of the Second World War. Created at Churchill's instigation in June 1940, they began as a single parachute battalion of 500 men and grew into three 10,000-strong airborne divisions: the 1st, 6th and 44th Indian, each composed of parachutists and glider-borne troops. Wearing their distinctive maroon berets, steel helmets and Dennison smocks, they served with distinction in every major theatre of the conflict - including North Africa, Sicily, mainland Europe and the Far East - and played a starring role in some most iconic airborne operations in history: the Bruneval Raid of February 1942; the capture of the Primasole, Pegasus and Arnhem Bridges in July 1943, June 1944 and September 1944 respectively; and Operation Varsity, the biggest parachute drop in history, near Wesel in Germany in March 1945.

Skull Cathedral: A Vestigial Anatomy (Audiobook)
English | Datum: October 08, 2021 | ASIN: B09FNTKV5K | MP3@64 kbps | 06h 41m | 176.15 MB
Author: Melissa Wiley
Narrator: Lana Sugarman
In Skull Cathedral, Melissa Wiley pulls stories from the vestigial remnants of the creatures we were or could have become. The appendix, pinky toes, tonsils, male nipples, wisdom teeth, and coccyx are starting points through which Wiley explores exaltation, eroticism, grief, and desire. Using the slow evolution and odd disintegration of vestigial organs to enter the braided stories of the lives we establish for ourselves, the people we grieve, and the mysteries of youth, memory, and longing, Wiley's lens is deeply feminist and compassionate.

English | ASIN: B0CGRTT6T7 | 2024 | 14 hours and 5 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 405 MB
Author: Caroline Alexander
Narrator: Fred Sanders
From the New York Times bestselling author, a breathtaking account of combat and survival in one of the most brutally challenging and rarely examined campaigns of World War II. In April 1942, the Imperial Japanese Army steamrolled through Burma, capturing the only ground route from India to China. Supplies to this critical zone would now have to come from India by air-meaning across the Himalayas, on the most hazardous air route in the world. SKIES OF THUNDER is a story of an epic human endeavor, in which Allied troops faced the monumental challenge of operating from airfields hacked from the jungle, and took on "the Hump," the fearsome mountain barrier that defined the air route. They flew fickle, untested aircraft through monsoons and enemy fire, with inaccurate maps and only primitive navigation technology. The result was a litany of both deadly crashes and astonishing feats of survival. The most chaotic of all the war's arenas, the China-Burma-India theater was further confused by the conflicting political interests of Roosevelt, Churchill and their demanding, nominal ally, Chiang Kai-shek. A masterpiece of modern war history.

The International Bestseller. Discover how to win in any situation using the ancient wisdom of the Shaolin monks. The Shaolin monks in China are legendary for their mastery of kung fu, but the secret to their success - their ability to rise to any challenge, handle stress and overcome conflict - lies not in their physical strength but in their powerful mindset. Captivated by the legend of the Shaolin monks, leadership coach Bernhard Moestl travelled to China to live among them. What he learned there surprised him - the teachings of Shaolin are not about fighting. The Shaolin monks understand that through their minds they have control over themselves and their surroundings, and that it is the mind alone that allows them to succeed. In this book, Bernhard has distilled the monks' incredible way of thinking into 13 life principles, including resoluteness, self-knowledge and community. By following this ancient path, you will discover the monks' greatest lesson: the ultimate success is learning to fight so well that you do not need to fight at all. You do not need to be a monk or live in a monastery to apply these principles to your life. Bernhard provides modern examples, exercises and inspiring quotes to ease you on your journey to discovering your innermost self, your greatest potential and much, much more.
