    Enemies Within: Communists, Spies and the Making of Modern Britain by Richard Davenport-Hines | Audiobook

With access to recently released papers and other neglected documents, this sharp analysis of the intelligence world examines how and why these men and others betrayed their country and what this cost Britain and its allies. 'Historians fumble their catches when they study individuals' motives and ideas rather than the institutions in which people work, respond, find motivation and develop their ideas', writes Richard Davenport-Hines in his history of the men who were persuaded by the Soviet Union to betray their country. In an audiobook which attempts to counter many contradictory accounts, Enemies Within offers a study of character: both individual and institutional - the operative traits of boarding schools, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Intelligence Division, the Foreign Office, MI5, MI6 and Moscow Centre. The audiobook refuses to present the Cambridge spies as they wished to be seen, in Marxist terms. It argues that these five men did their greatest harm to Britain not from their clandestine espionage but in their propaganda victories enjoyed from Moscow after 1951. Notions of trust, abused trust, forfeited trust and mistrust from the late 19th century to perestroika pepper its narrative. In an audiobook that is as intellectually thrilling as it is entertaining and illuminating, Davenport-Hines charts how the undermining of authority, the rejection of expertise, and the suspicion of educational advantages began with the Cambridge Five and has transformed the social and political temper of Britain.

    Be Free or Die by Cate Lineberry | Audiobook

    Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Be Free or Die Author: Cate Lineberry Narrator: J. D. Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Summary: Facing death rather than enslavement - a story of one man's triumphant choice and ultimate rise to national hero. It was a mild May morning in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1862, the second year of the Civil War, when a 23-year-old slave named Robert Smalls did the unthinkable and boldly seized a Confederate steamer. With his wife and two young children hidden on board, Smalls and a small crew ran a gauntlet of heavily armed fortifications in Charleston Harbor and delivered the valuable vessel and the massive guns it carried to nearby Union forces. To be unsuccessful was a death sentence for all. Smalls' courageous and ingenious act freed him and his family from slavery and immediately made him a Union hero while simultaneously challenging much of the country's view of what African-Americans were willing to do to gain their freedom. After his escape, Smalls served in numerous naval campaigns off Charleston as a civilian boat pilot and eventually became the first black captain of an Army ship. In a particularly poignant moment Smalls even bought the home that he and his mother had once served in as house slaves. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

    Stalin por Alvaro Lozano | Audio Libro Gratis

XX mundial no pueden comprenderse sin conocer a fondo la vida de Stalin, su férreo gobierno y su férrea personalidad corrieron paralelos y su voluntad sacudió, en ocasiones, los cimientos del mundo. Iosif Vissarionovich, Stalin, fue el hijo de un zapatero, un preso, un revolucionario, un líder militar y, entre 1928 y 1953 manejó a voluntad el destino del país más grande del mundo y la vida de sus ciudadanos. Su recuerdo aún genera una mezcla de terror y añoranza en millones de personas y la historia del S. XX no puede entenderse sin comprender a fondo su vida y el contexto en el que vivió hasta en sus más nimios detalles. Esto es precisamente lo que intenta Stalin, el tirano rojo, comprender la figura del dictador georgiano y del pueblo ruso que le tocó gobernar para aclarar un poco la controversia entre aquellos que defienden que fue un magnífico estadista que cogió una Rusia rural, de campesinos oprimidos y latifunduistas tiranos, y dejó una Rusia industrializada, una potencia mundial, y aquellos que le consideran autor del mayor genocidio de la historia universal. Álvaro Lozano aborda la vida del dictador de un modo que difumina las fronteras entre la historia expuesta y la historia narrada, mezcla el dato con el estilo narrativo, y se estructura de modo que, en ningún momento se pierda la tensión. La obra parte de los momentos previos a la invasión alemana de Rusia y, tras relatarnos el momento álgido del gobierno de Stalin, la Operación Barbarroja, retrocede a los orígenes de Stalin. Desde ese momento la biografía avanza cronológicamente hasta 1922, año en que es elegido Secretario General del Comité Central del Partido Comunista de la Unión Soviética, en principio no es un cargo fundamental en el organigrama comunista pero Stalin conseguirá, desde ese cargo, a ser el poder absoluto de la URSS. Desde ese momento alternará la industrialización del país, su modernización y el reparto de riquezas basado en la Nueva Política Económica, los planes quinquenales y la colectivización de la tierra, con una época de terror caracterizada por las terribles purgas que desembocaban en ejecuciones o encierros en los terribles gulags, una época donde la política económica provocó hambrunas en Ucrania y desastres medioambientales como el del mar de Aral. Razones para comprar la obra: - La obra sintetiza una visión de la vida del dictador con una perspectiva global del sistema económico, político y militar del stalinismo y un retrato general del pueblo ruso. - El tema de Stalin y del stalinismo es esencial para entender la historia del S. XX y aún la de nuestro S. XXI pues algunas políticas y muchos conflictos actuales son herencia de aquella época. Una obra ecuánime que reconoce a Stalin su capacidad como regenerador del país y no oculta los terribles asesinatos del dictador. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
