Redemption at Hacksaw Ridge: The Gripping True Story That Inspired the Movie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 278min

The men of the 77th Infantry Division couldn't fathom why Private Desmond T. Doss would venture into the horrors of World War II without a single weapon to defend himself. "You're nothing but a coward!" they said. But the soft-spoken medic insisted that his mission was to heal, not kill. When Desmond knelt by his bunk to pray, his fellow soldiers hurled boots and insults at him. Even his commander wanted to throw him out of the army. But when his unit arrived on the battlefield, the intrepid medic quickly proved he was no coward. One terrifying day in the vicious battle for Okinawa, dozens of Desmond's former tormenters lay wounded and bleeding atop Hacksaw Ridge. As Japanese bullets rained down, their fate seemed hopeless. Could one unarmed man save their lives? This pause-resister will keep you riveted to your seat as you discover how Desmond Doss became the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor. Desmond's dramatic true story of integrity, redemption, and heroism will inspire you to live by the courage of your convictions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris George.

Manchild: My Life Without Adult Supervision , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 290min

Alan Olifson has a knack for taking relatable experiences - parenting mistakes, botched home improvements, the hassles of having to act like a grownup - and making them way funnier than I remember them being when they happened to me. (Jonathan Green, writer/producer of Superstore and The Office)"How to use a hacksaw? Car maintenance advice? How to avoid getting hustled by a 12-year-old psychic? You will not likely find answers to those questions in Alan Olifson's hilarious, smart, real collection of essays. But you'll laugh, like a lot, as you read about Olifson's journey to figure it all out." (Rachna Fruchbom, writer of Fresh Off the Boat and Parks and Recreation)"Alan Olifson isn't just funny. As he proves in Manchild, he's whip smart and deeply honest. And the guy has a gigantic heart. All that is evident in this lovely collection as it was from the moment I first read his work: Over a decade ago Alan walked into a class I was teaching at UCLA Extension. Actually, he hobbled in on crutches. Naturally we all wanted to know: Skiing accident? Football? Maybe luge? Then he read us the story and had us all doubled over with laughter." (Amy Friedman, author of Desperado's Wife: A Memoir)"Olifson's witty and self-deprecating essays perfectly capture the frantic race to grow up just a little bit before your kids do." (Gemma Baker, writer/producer and co-creator of Mom)"In 38 essays over 144 pages, the comedian and humorist explores his general life-skills deficit, from childhood tee-ball traumas and collegiate drinking binges to his foibles as a parent. If the essays, just two to four pages long each, read like monologues or humor columns - David Sedaris crossed with Dave Barry - Olifson comes by it honestly.... Manchild is perfect bathroom reading, and that's no insult." (Bill O'Driscoll, Pittsburgh City Paper) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Olifson.

Wild Escape: The Prison Break from Dannemora and the Manhunt That Captured America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min

Marcius writes with genuine narrative power. Her depth of research provides insights into this historical escape that we can't get anywhere else (Anthony Flacco, New York Times and international best-selling author) A gripping true-crime debut of imprisonment, escape, and survival from New York Daily News crime reporter Chelsia Rose Marcius. On June 6, 2015, inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility, New York State's largest maximum security prison. The media was instantly obsessed with the story: aided by a prison seamstress who smuggled hacksaw blades, chisels, and drill bits inside the facility via a vat of raw hamburger meat, the two convicted murderers sliced their way through steel cell walls, meandered through a maze of tunnels, climbed out of a manhole, and walked off into the night. Only a handful of inmates had successfully broken out of Clinton since the facility opened in 1845, and not many had made the attempt. Barbed wire, stone walls, and the wilderness of the Adirondacks have all served as physical and psychological barriers to freedom. This seemingly impossible Shawshank-esque escape had the makings of a Hollywood film, and the public hung on to every twist as the story developed. After nearly three weeks on the run, Matt was shot and killed by US Customs and Border Patrol agent Christopher Voss on June 26, 2015. Two days later New York State Police Sgt. Jay Cook shot Sweat twice in the back. He survived. While we have come to learn how Matt and Sweat pulled off perhaps the most elaborate modern-day prison break, no reporter except Chelsia Rose Marcius has talked directly to Sweat to ask the most important question in the case: Of all the inmates who dream of escape, why was he the one who could make it happen? "The details Marcius has amassed are comprehensive and stunning and serve to heighten the impact of her story. This is first-rate journalism, wri ungekürzt. Language: English.
