    Listen to The Brandenburg Gate by Charles River Editors

(Johann Gottfried Herder, 18th century German philosopher and poet) In 2012, the German capital recorded a staggering 700,000 people at its CSD Parade, with about 500,000 making it all the way to the end of the joyous march, which is said to have been the biggest and most well-attended pride parade of the year. Berlin's mayor, Klaus Wowereit, among the first openly gay politicians in Germany, famous for uttering the now locally iconic phrase, "Ich bin schwul, und das ist auch gut so (I'm gay, and that is a good thing)", inaugurated the splendid march. Elaborately decorated floats carrying both muscular men in flamboyant period costumes and fabulous queens in their best lace-fronts and drag, wield rainbow flags and dance to techno music as they lead the tremendous party from the Kreuzberg District to the Pariser Platz. As the members of the LGBT community, local and from out of town, surrounded by their friends, family, and allies, grooved into the night, the Brandenburg Gate was converted to a colossal rainbow flag. Other than culture and love and equality, the Brandenburg Gate is also where the locals celebrate triumphant victories and honor their modern-day heroes, i.e. their sport stars. In mid-July of 2014, a throng of 400,000 ecstatic Germans flooded the streets (many of whom had camped out at the site overnight), starting a fan mile that originated from the fabled gate. It was here that they welcomed the FIFA World Cup champions with German flags, banners, capes, leis in black, red, and gold, and confetti poppers galore. The black Mercedes truck transporting the players, coaches, and crew members could barely move through the swarm of fans. To the locals today, the Brandenburg Gate, understandably one of the nation's top tourist attractions, is synonymous with spectacle, felicity, and victorious jubilation, but this monument has seen its fair share of dark days over the years. The Brandenburger Tor, which has now watched over the evolution of modern Berlin for well over two centuries, has witnessed as much torment, heartache, and devastation as it has love and success. Some would say this is precisely what makes the renowned gate all the more meaningful, and the city's mission to preserve in its full glory all the more worthwhile. The Brandenburg Gate: The History and Legacy of Berlin's Famous Landmark chronicles the remarkable history of one of Germany's most famous sites. You will learn about the Brandenburg Gate like never before.

    Frank Lavin's Home Front to Battlefront

    #ads Get premium access to stream any unabridged audiobook by starting your free trial:https://booksreader.space/al-6871/Title: Home Front to Battlefront Series: An Ohio Teenager in World War II Author: Frank Lavin Narrator: Gary D. MacFadden, Frank Lavin Format: Unabridged Length: 11:44:00 Release date: 01-18-18 Genres: History Publisher's Summary: Carl Lavin was a high school senior when Pearl Harbor was attacked. The Canton, Ohio, native enlisted when he turned 18, a decision that would take him with the US Army from training across the United States and Britain to combat with the 84th Infantry Division in the Battle of the Bulge. Home Front to Battlefront is the tale of a foot soldier who finds himself thrust into a world where he and his unit grapple with the horrors of combat, the idiocies of bureaucracy, and the oddities of life back home - all in the same day. It is based on Carl's personal letters, his recollections, and those of the people he served beside, official military history, private papers, and more. Home Front to Battlefront contributes the rich details of one soldier's experience to the broader literature on World War II. Lavin's adventures, in turn disarming and sobering, will appeal to general listeners, veterans, educators, and students of the war. As a history, the audiobook offers insight into the wartime career of a Jewish Ohioan in the military, from enlistment to training through overseas deployment. As a biography, it reflects the emotions and the role of the individual in a total war effort that is all too often thought of as a machine war in which human soldiers were merely interchangeable cogs. Published by Ohio University Press. "If you like American history, or military history, or just a good narrative yarn, do check out "Home Front to Battlefront." - Bill Kristol, Weekly Standard "Carl Lavin's combined letters and memoir are an invaluable contribution to the literature on the American G.I.'s experiences in World War II." - Peter S. Kindsvatter, author of American Soldiers: Ground Combat in the World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam

    X-Ray Rider 1: Mileposts on the Road to Childhood's End - Wayne Kyle Spitzer

    #ads Get premium access to stream any unabridged audiobook by starting your free trial:https://booksreader.space/al-6871/Title: X-Ray Rider 1: Mileposts on the Road to Childhood's End Series: The X-Ray Rider Trilogy Author: Wayne Kyle Spitzer Narrator: Andrew Garrett Format: Unabridged Length: 02:04:00 Release date: 01-17-18 Genres: History Publisher's Summary: Jonesing for a drive-in theater and a hotrod El Camino? It's the dawn of the 1970s, and everything is changing. The war in Vietnam is winding down. So is the Apollo Space Program. The tiny northwestern city of Spokane is about to host a World's Fair. But the Watergate Hearings, the re-entry of Skylab, and the eruption of Mount Saint Helens are coming...as are killer bees and Ronald Reagan. Enter "The Kid", a panic-prone, hyper-imaginative boy whose life changes drastically when his father brings home an astronaut white El Camino. As the car's deep-seated rumbling becomes a catalyst for the Kid's curiosity, his ailing, overprotective mother finds herself fending off questions she doesn't want to answer. But her attempt to redirect him on his birthday only arms him with the tool he needs to penetrate deeper - a pair of novelty X-Ray Specs - and as the Camino muscles them through a decade of economic and cultural turmoil, the Kid comes to believe he can see through metal, clothing, skin - to the center of the universe itself, where he imagines something monstrous growing, spreading, reaching across time and space to threaten his very world. Using the iconography of 20th century trash Americana - drive-in monster movies, cancelled TV shows, vintage comic books - Spitzer has written an unconventional memoir which recalls J. M. Coetzee's boyhood and youth. More than a literal character, The Kid is both the child and the adult. By eschewing the technique of traditional autobiography, Spitzer creates a spherical narrative in which the past lives on in an eternal present while retrospection penetrates the edges. X-Ray Rider is not so much a memoir as it is a retro prequel to a postmodern life - a cinematized reboot of what Stephen King calls the "fogged-out landscape" of youth. Want to go for a ride?

Tens of thousands of allied soldiers are poised on the shores of the English Channel preparing to take back France from Hitler and the Nazis. This is the true story of average-Joe American soldiers. They came from the cities, and they came from the towns and the farms. They worked in factories and in fields, they drove trucks and they drove tractors. They were bankers and bakers and clerks and mechanics. Most of them were just boys, just the boy next door. The war made boys into men and men into heroes. Now just days before D-Day, four of these soldiers stand in the crossroads of history. These friends face their destiny ahead of them and must leave their hopes and dreams behind. Live the story through the eyes of the characters in this powerful and emotional audiobook that will pull you in and give you a connection to the past. Some stories are cut short by the horrors of war, and some amazing stories of life and love should have never happened. A brief moment in time can change everything, so you never said goodbye. These young men and women struggle to find the courage they never knew they had and the future they thought they'd never see.
