    Marshall and His Generals: U.S. Army Commanders in World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1021min
    General George C. Marshall, chief of staff of the US Army during World War II, faced the daunting task not only of overseeing two theaters of a global conflict but also of selecting the best generals to carry out American grand strategy. Marshall and His Generals is the first and only book to focus entirely on that selection process and the performances, both stellar and disappointing, that followed from it. Stephen Taaffe explores how and why Marshall selected the Army's commanders. Among Marshall's chief criteria were character (including "unselfish and devoted purpose"), education (whether at West Point, Fort Leavenworth, or the Army War College), and striking a balance between experience and relative youth in a war that required both wisdom and great physical stamina. As the war unfolded, Marshall also factored into his calculations the combat leadership his generals demonstrated and the opinions of his theater commanders. Delving deeper than other studies, this path-breaking work produces a seamless analysis of Marshall's selection process of operational-level commanders. Taaffe also critiques the performance of these generals during the war and reveals the extent to which their actions served as stepping stones to advancement. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Washington's Revolutionary War Generals: Campaigns and Commanders Series, Volume 68 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1018min
    When the Revolutionary War began, Congress established a national army and appointed George Washington its commander in chief. Congress then took it upon itself to choose numerous subordinate generals to lead the army’s various departments, divisions, and brigades.How this worked out in the end is well known. Less familiar, however, is how well Congress’s choices worked out along the way. Although historians have examined many of Washington’s subordinates, Washington’s Revolutionary War Generals is the first book to look at these men in a collective, integrated manner.A thoroughgoing study of the Revolutionary War careers of the Continental Army’s generals - their experience, performance, and relationships with Washington and the Continental Congress - this book provides an overview of the politics of command, both within and outside the army, and a unique perspective on how it affected Washington’s prosecution of the war. Stephen R. Taaffe weaves a narrative in the grand tradition of military history.Against this backdrop, his depiction of the complexities and particulars of character and politics of military command provides a new understanding of George Washington, the War for Independence, and the US military’s earliest beginnings.The book is published by University of Oklahoma Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.“As comprehensive as it is unsparing...a welcome contribution to our understanding of the Continental military.” (Mark Edward Lender, coauthor of Fatal Sunday)“This book is an important contribution to the field.” (Joseph F. Stoltz III, author of A Bloodless Victory: The Battle of New Orleans in History and Memory) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Burlinson.

    Uncensored Grace: Stories of Hope from the Streets of Vegas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 281min
    Uncensored grace is what you get from a loving God when all the religious types have gone home, and every last hope for your own effort has ended. What comes to mind first when you think Las Vegas? Maybe glitz and glam. Or dealers and dancers, high rollers and hell raisers. And why not? After all, the town they call Sin City is an American icon, an anything-goes shrine to pleasure, money, sex-and another lucky roll of the dice. Probably when you think Las Vegas, you don't think about God or grace. Neither did Jud Wilhite when he was first invited to become the senior pastor at the city's largest church. The people Juds met since moving there with his family have changed all that. Today, Vegas stands for something much different and more surprising for Jud. He doesn't think of Vegas as Sin City anymore. Now, to him, it is Grace City. Working with veteran journalist Bill Taaffe, Jud takes you past the neon and the hype to another side of Vegas-where people whose lives have been marred by loneliness, addiction, and despair are finding hope and freedom in a vital community of faith. Uncensored Grace is an account of what happens when ordinary people get honest with each other and an extraordinary God. You'll meet gaming industry movers and shakers; working exotic dancers, a Flying Elvis, an American Idol contestant, a cop who won the hearts of a crime-hardened city, and much more. ungekürzt.

    Rudolf Affaire Mayerling - Das Musical - Live aus dem Raimund Theater
    Das Musical RUDOLF - AFFAIRE MAYERLING komponiert von Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, Graf von Monte Christo, uvm), Texte von Jack Murphy (Carmen, Graf von Monte CHristo, uvm.). Die aktuelle Produktion der Vereinigten Bühnen Wien jetzt auf DVD, Live und ungeschnitten! RUDOLF ist die Geschichte eines Visionärs, die wesentlichsten Motive sind Leidenschaft, Selbstverleugnung und der Mut eines Menschen, der alle Talente eines politischen Denkers, aber kein Talent zur Macht hatte. Seine Ideen hätten die Welt des erstarrenden Habsburgerreiches verändern, sein Feuer ein neues Zeitalter eröffnen können. Aber der starre Hof und sein Gegenspieler, Ministerpräsident Taaffe, verhindern jede Neuerung. In dieser niederschmetternden Situation trifft Rudolf auf die große Liebe: Mary Vetsera. Ihre Geisteshaltung, ihre Unbedingtheit, geben ihm die Kraft, bis zum Letzten zu gehen nach Mayerling in Liebe verbunden bis in den Tod.
