Mokhtar Alkhanshali grew up in San Francisco, one of seven siblings raised by Yemeni immigrants in a tiny apartment. At age 24, unable to pay for college, he works as a doorman. Until: a statue of an Arab raising a cup of coffee awakens something in him. He sets out to learn the rich history of coffee in Yemen and the complex art of tasting and identifying varietals. He travels to Yemen, collects samples of beans, eager to bring improved cultivation methods to the farmers. And he is on the verge of success when civil war engulfs Yemen in 2015 and he is trapped in Sana'a. Desperate to escape, he embarks on a passage that has him twice kidnapped at gunpoint, dodging US-made bombs dropped by the Saudi air force, and crossing the Red Sea onboard an unsafe skiff, all the while carrying two suitcases of coffee. A heart-pounding true story that weaves together the history of coffee, the ongoing Yemeni civil war, and the courageous journey of a young man - a Muslim and a US citizen - following the most American of dreams.

    Searching for Augusta by Martin King | Audiobook

    Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Searching for Augusta Author: Martin King Narrator: Roger Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, Military Summary: A brutal siege. A forgotten heroine. A war-torn romance. And a historian determined to uncover the truth. Untold millions who saw Band of Brothers can finally know the whole story of what happened to American soldiers and civilians in Bastogne during that arduous Winter of 1944/45. In the television version of Band of Brothers, a passing reference is made to an African nurse assisting in an aid station in Bastogne. When military historian Martin King watched the episode, he had to know who that woman was; thus began a multi-year odyssey that revealed the horror of a town under siege as well as an improbable love story between a white Army medic, Jack Prior, and his black nurse, Augusta Chiwy, as they saved countless lives while under constant bombardment. Based on the recent discovery of Prior's diary as well as an exhaustive and occasionally futile search for Augusta herself, King was at last able to bring belated recognition of Augusta's incredible story by both the US Army and Belgian government shortly before she died. This is not only a little-known story of the Battle of the Bulge, but also the author's own relentless mission to locate Augusta and bestow upon her the honors she so richly deserved.

    When Montezuma Met Cortés by Matthew Restall | Audiobook

    Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: When Montezuma Met Cortés Author: Matthew Restall Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Harper Audio Genres: History, World Summary: A dramatic rethinking of the encounter between Montezuma and Hernando Cortés that completely overturns what we know about the Spanish conquest of the Americas On November 8, 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés first met Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, at the entrance to the capital city of Tenochtitlan. This introduction - the prelude to the Spanish seizure of Mexico City and to European colonization of the mainland of the Americas - has long been the symbol of Cortés' bold and brilliant military genius. Montezuma, on the other hand, is remembered as a coward who gave away a vast empire and touched off a wave of colonial invasions across the hemisphere. But is this really what happened? In a departure from traditional tellings, When Montezuma Met Cortés uses "the Meeting" - as Restall dubs their first encounter - as the entry point into a comprehensive reevaluation of both Cortés and Montezuma. Drawing on rare primary sources and overlooked accounts by conquistadors and Aztecs alike, Restall explores Cortés' and Montezuma's posthumous reputations, their achievements and failures, and the worlds in which they lived - leading, step by step, to a dramatic inversion of the old story. As Restall takes us through this sweeping, revisionist account of a pivotal moment in modern civilization, he calls into question our view of the history of the Americas and, indeed, of history itself.

    First World War: 1918 by Sarah Kilgarriff | Audiobook

    Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: First World War: 1918 Author: Sarah Kilgarriff Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 01-25-18 Publisher: BBC Digital Audio Genres: History, World Summary: A unique collection of historic recordings in which the last brutal encounters of the war and the mixed emotions of the armistice are remembered by troops from both sides. By the end of March 1918, Germany's Spring Offensive had thrown British forces back over the old Somme battlefields. But this last push failed, and with the stalemate of trench warfare broken, the Allies swept from near defeat to victory. However, their joy was tempered by sorrow. Too many would not come home. For the Germans, the mood was despairing as their 'endless columns rolled eastward', the November fog and rain adding to their melancholy. Memorable reminiscences include an evocative portrait of poet Wilfred Owen, killed shortly before the armistice; American troops on their initiation into the horrors of battle; and reflections on the 'punitive' demands of the Paris Peace Conference. As the Treaty of Versailles was being drafted, the German navy decided its own fate in one final act of defiance, witnessed by a group of schoolchildren on an outing in Scapa Flow. These enduring recollections from the men who fought and the women who waited are a poignant and powerful reminder of the shocking realities of the war. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

    The Sea and Civilization by Lincoln Paine | Audiobook

    Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Sea and Civilization Author: Lincoln Paine Narrator: Tom Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 29 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, World Summary: A monumental retelling of world history through the lens of maritime enterprise, revealing in breathtaking depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, lake and stream, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world's waterways, bringing together civilizations and defining what makes us most human. Lincoln Paine takes us back to the origins of long-distance migration by sea with our ancestors' first forays from Africa and Eurasia to Australia and the Americas. He demonstrates the critical role of maritime trade to the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley. He reacquaints us with the great seafaring cultures of antiquity like those of the Phoenicians and Greeks as well as those of India and Southeast and East Asia, who parlayed their navigational skills, shipbuilding techniques, and commercial acumen to establish thriving overseas colonies and trade routes in the centuries leading up to the age of European expansion. And finally, his narrative traces how commercial shipping and naval warfare brought about the enormous demographic, cultural, and political changes that have globalized the world throughout the post-Cold War era.

    The Wall and the Gate by Michael Sfard | Audiobook

    Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: The Wall and the Gate Author: Michael Sfard Narrator: Jonathan Davis Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: History, World Summary: A farmer from a village in the occupied West Bank, cut off from his olive groves by the construction of Israel's controversial separation wall, asked Israeli human rights lawyer Michael Sfard to petition the courts to allow a gate to be built in the wall. While the gate would provide immediate relief for the farmer, would it not also confer legitimacy on the wall and on the court that deems it legal? The defense of human rights is often marked by such ethical dilemmas, which are especially acute in Israel, where lawyers have for decades sought redress for the abuse of Palestinian rights in the country's High Court - that is, in the court of the abuser. In The Wall and the Gate, Michael Sfard chronicles this struggle - a story that has never before been fully told - and in the process engages the core principles of human rights legal ethics. Sfard recounts the unfolding of key cases and issues, ranging from confiscation of land, deportations, the creation of settlements, punitive home demolitions, torture, and targeted killings - all actions considered violations of international law. In the process, he lays bare the reality of the occupation and the lives of the people who must contend with that reality. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

    Breve historia del África subsahariana [Brief history of sub-Saharan Africa] por Eric García Moral | Audio Libro Gratis

    Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Título: Breve historia del África subsahariana [Brief history of sub-Saharan Africa] Autor: Eric García Moral Narrador: Hermogenes Alonso Formato: Unabridged Duración: 8 hrs and 48 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18 Editor: Audible Studios Categorías: History, World Resumen: En esta obra el lector conocerá las principales etapas de la historia del continente africano: la prehistoria, con la aparición de los primeros homínidos en África; los tiempos antiguos, donde se observan similitudes culturales entre el Antiguo Egipto y las sociedades subsaharianas; los siglos oscuros, el período menos conocido de la historia africana; la era de los imperios o época clásica africana, en la que se erigieron grandes imperios y cuya fama llegó hasta Europa; la era del contacto occidental o período predador, caracterizada por el tráfico de esclavos y por la militarización de las sociedades africanas; el período colonial y, finalmente, el período independiente, con la gran disyuntiva entre tradición y modernidad que incidirá en el devenir de los nuevos estados del continente. A través de una narración amena, alejada del academicismo habitual, el lector conocerá episodios de la historia africana que muy probablemente desconozca. Se han seleccionado los temas que más pueden interesar al público general y se han desechado aquellos, como las discusiones historiográficas o la enumeración de fechas, que suelen pertenecer al ámbito académico. El audio libro, además, derrumbará algunos estereotipos como el que se refiere a un continente sin historia, detenido en el estadio tribal. La historia africana es dinámica, continua, con altos y bajos, con períodos de esplendor y decadencia, y su conexión con el resto del mundo es más grande de lo que se suele pensar. La historia mundial no sería la misma sin África y África no sería lo que es hoy sin sus contactos con el resto de la humanidad. En esta grabación el oyente encontrará una historia que jamás le han explicado y que, sin duda, cambiará su manera de ver el mundo. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

    Historia oculta de la conquista de América [Hidden History of the Conquest of America] por Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo | Audio Libro Gratis

    Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Título: Historia oculta de la conquista de América [Hidden History of the Conquest of America] Autor: Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo Narrador: Juan Magraner Formato: Unabridged Duración: 7 hrs and 14 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 01-23-18 Editor: Audible Studios Categorías: History, World Resumen: "En definitiva, Historia oculta de la conquista de América es un audio libro indispensable para entender los verdaderos sucesos que ocurrieron, al margen de las versiones oficiales, durante este importante momento histórico. En la obra el oyente descubrirá muchos hechos que fueron determinantes y que no han sido contados ni revelados por la historia oficial narrados de forma objetiva aspectos tanto positivos como negativos de cada uno de los protagonistas." (Web Comparte libros) "Historia oculta de la conquista de América, de Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo, donde se abordan los hechos omitidos de la historia oficial y la leyenda negra del Descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo, que esconde gran cantidad de situaciones no divulgadas, hechos cuyas dobleces determinaron el destino final de los acontecimientos, paradojas que muchos recopiladores dejaron en el tintero." (Revista Enigmas) Historia oculta de la conquista de América pretende rescatar aquellos hechos que tuvieron relevancia para el desarrollo de la conquista de América y para la posterior configuración tanto de las fronteras sudamericanas como de la propia identidad hispanoamericana. Son hechos olvidados por la distancia temporal entre aquellos hombres y nosotros, o también ninguneados por aquellos que pretendieron acrecentar su fama u ocultar sus delitos, no obstante algunos de ellos, como la incidencia de las enfermedades en colonos e indígenas o las diversas leyendas y expediciones en busca de El Dorado, son fundamentales para comprender cómo se realizó la conquista de América y qué puntos de contacto entre españoles y americanos han formado la identidad hispanoamericana. Reúne Gabriel Sánchez Sorondo una ingente cantidad de información tomada de las propias crónicas de los europeos que servirá para que comprendamos los pormenores de la conquista de América. Veremos cómo las enfermedades ayudaron a Cortés y a Pizarro en sus conquistas de Tenochtitlán o de Cuzco, pero hubo otras epidemias que afectaron a ambos bandos como el tifus o la influenza, y aún hubo otras como la malaria, la fiebre amarilla o el paludismo que diezmaron sólo a los colonos; tampoco se ha dado mucha importancia en la historia oficial al papel de los perros de guerra que utilizaron los españoles, los alanos, y que permitieron, en muchos casos, vencer a los numerosos ejércitos americanos; también nos detallará episodios apasionantes como la búsqueda de El Dorado que se convirtió en una auténtica aventura exploratoria, o los distintos casos de canibalismo en las filas españolas; pero, dentro del horror que marca las batallas de la conquista, encontrará el autor un hueco para las relaciones amorosas y amistosas, que también han quedado recogidas, entre españoles y americanos.
