    Weekly Standard editor Daniel Halper provides a meticulously researched account of the brilliant calculations, secret deals, and occasionally treacherous maneuverings that led to the Clintons' return to political prominence. In the 12 years since the Clintons left the White House, they have gone from being virtually penniless to multi-millionaires, and are arguably the most popular politicians in America - respected and feared by Republicans and Democrats alike. But behind that rise is a never-before-told story of strategic cleverness, reckless gambles, and an unquenchable thirst for political power. Investigative reporter Daniel Halper uses a wealth of research, exclusive documents, and detailed interviews with close friends, allies, and enemies of the Clintons to reveal the strategy they used and the deals they made to turn their political fortunes around. Clinton, Inc. exposes the relationship between President Obama, the Bush family, and the Clintons - and what it means for the future; how Bill and Hillary are laying the groundwork for the upcoming presidential campaign; how Vice President Biden and other Democrats are trying to maneuver around her; Chelsea's political future; the Clintons' skillful media management; the Clintons' marriage and why it has survived; and an inside look at the Clinton's financial backers and hidden corporate enterprises. Clinton, Inc. is the key to understanding America's most powerful political couple. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Harvey Betancourt.

HMS Resolution and her consort HMS Adventure are sailing south. Icebergs surround them. Freezing fogs limits visibility.

    "Mission: Impossible"Als eine Liste mit den Codenamen verdeckter Top-Agenten zum Verkauf angeboten wird, soll ein Team von Spezialagenten den Verräter auf frischer Tat überführen.Cruise spielt den Geheimagenten Ethan Hunt, der miterleben muß, wie seine Kollegen bei diesem Einsatz zu Tode kommen. Bei einem Treffen mit seinem Kontaktmann der CIA erkennt Hunt, daß hinter der Mission ein perfides Doppelspiel steckt. Als Überlebenden wird ihm die Schuld am Tod seines Teams angehängt. Um seine Unschuld zu beweisen, muß Hunt den wahren Maulwurf finden. Ob auf der Flucht vor Killerkommandos der Regierung, beim Eindringen in den Hochsicherheitstrakt der CIA oder gar am Dach eines Hochgeschwindigkeitszuges festgeklammert, Hunt muß alles daransetzen, seinen Verfolgern stets einen Schritt voraus zu sein und der schrecklichen Wahrheit Schritt für Schritt näher zu kommen... "M:I-2 - Mission: Impossible 2"Agent Ethan Hunt muß vorzeitig aus dem Urlaub zurückkehren. Ein Wissenschaftler hat einen gemeingefährlichen Virus geklaut. Ethan macht sich mit PC-Genie Luther, dem Australie Billy und eine süßen Meisterdiebin an die unmöglich scheinende Mission, den Virus zurückzuholen. "M:I-3 - Mission: Impossible 3"Eigentlich hat sich Ethan Hunt aus der aufreiberischen Existenz eines IMF-Agenten zurückgezogen und arbeitet nur noch sporadisch als Ausbilder - der Liebe wegen, zur Krankenschwester Julia, die nichts von Ethans Aktivitäten weiß. Dabei bleibt es natürlich nicht: Weil sich seine einst beste Schülerin in Lebensgefahr befindet, nimmt Ethan mit neuem Team eine neue Mission in Berlin an. Sie schlägt fehl, und Hunt nimmt den internationalen Waffenhehler Owen Davian ins Visier... "Mission-Impossible 4 - Phantom Protokoll"Ein verheerender Bombenanschlag im Kreml:Für Ethan Hunt bedeutet dieser Zwischenfall die brisanteste Mission seiner Karriere. Denn er und sein gesamtes Team werden für den brutalen Terrorakt verantwortlich gemacht. Der USPräsident aktiviert das "Phantom Protokoll", das den IMF fortan verleugnet. Sollte es Hunt nicht gelingen, die Drahtzieher zu fassen, werden sie für das Attentat verantwortlich gemacht und weltweit als Terroristen gebrandmarkt und gejagt.

    The New York Times best-selling author of Cane and Abe and Black Horizon blends Goodfellas and Elmore Leonard in this wild, suspenseful caper inspired by actual events, in which a band of amateur thieves pulls off one of the biggest airport heists in history with deadly consequences. Every week a hundred million dollars in cash arrives at Miami International Airport, shipped by German banks to the Federal Reserve. A select group of trusted workers moves the bags through customs and loads them into armored trucks. Ruban Betancourt has always played by the rules. But the bank taking his house and his restaurant business going bust has driven him over the edge. He and his wife deserve more than life has handed them, and he's come up with a ballsy scheme to get it. With the help of an airport insider, he; his cokehead brother-in-law, Jeffrey; and two ex-cons surprise the guards loading the armored trucks and speed off with $7.4 million in the bed of a pickup truck. Investigating the heist, FBI agent Andie Henning, newly transferred to Miami from Seattle, knows the best way to catch the thieves is to follow the money. Jeffrey's drug addiction is as conspicuous as the Rolex watches he buys for dancers at the Gold Rush strip club. One of the ex-cons, Pinky Perez, makes no secret of his plan to own a swinger's club - which will allow him carte blanche with his patrons' wives. Levelheaded Ruban is desperately trying to lay low and hold things together. But Agent Henning isn't the only one on their trail, and in the mob-meets-Miami fashion, these accidental thieves suddenly find themselves way in over their heads...and sinking fast. ungekürzt.

    The crash of a U.S. reconnaissance plane into the Colombian jungle on February 13, 2003, set off a series of events that, five years later, would bring three South American countries on a collision course toward war, pit a giant government contractor against its employer - the U.S. government - and catapult a 40-year-old guerrilla army to the international stage as one of the most active and successful terrorist organizations in the world. Hostage Nation follows the players in this international drama in which lives interweave across a chaotic and deadly chessboard. While at first the case appeared to be a one-dimensional kidnapping of three American contractors that would play out in backdoor negotiations, as many had before, the paradigm shift that took over Washington after 9/11 made impossible any such path to win the freedom of the hostages. This is the story of Thomas Howes, Keith Stansell, and Marc Gonsalves, three Americans who went to work for the U.S. government's ill-fought "War on Drugs" and crash-landed into their worst nightmare, five years in captivity of the FARC rebel Army. It is the story of Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, poster child for all the prisoners in Colombia. It is the story of corporate malfeasance by Northrop Grumman, one of the largest defense contractors in America. It is the story of a paradigm shift that turned poor Colombian guerrillas into the biggest drug mafia in the world and earned them a prominent position on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations. This is also a fascinating expose about the way that civilian soldiers have become the main players in covert wars that fly under the radar of the American people. It is the story of the U.S. government's ambivalence concerning victims who don't have to be tallied on the nightly news. It is the story of fragmented government factions that refuse to work together, and of foreign-policy blunders that put government contracts ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Yetta Gottesman.
