Burn Before Reading: Presidents, CIA Directors, and Secret Intelligence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
The way the U.S. government gathers intelligence information has become front-page news. In Burn Before Reading, former CIA director Admiral Stansfield Turner highlights pivotal moments between presidents and their CIA directors, detailing the decisions that continue to shape the intelligence community and our world. This behind-the-scenes look at the CIA's relationship with the presidents, from World War II to the present day, reveals how intelligence gathering works, and how personal and political issues often interfere with government business. In Burn Before Reading, we learn: Why President Harry Truman distrusted the CIA yet ended up expanding it. How President John F. Kennedy entrusted his reputation to the CIA at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba and got burned. That President Nixon strongly mistrusted the "Ivy League" CIA and tried, unsuccessfully, to use it as a way out of Watergate. That President Gerald Ford was confronted with three reports of egregious and illegal CIA misdeeds, and how he responded by replacing CIA director Colby with George H. W. Bush. Drawing on his own personal experience, as well as interviews with living presidents, Turner takes us into the White House and shares with us an intimate view of the inner working of our government's intelligence agency. There has never been a time when the relationship between the president and the head of the CIA has been so scrutinized or so relevant to our government policy. This book concludes with a blueprint for reorganizing the intelligence community and strengthening the relationship between the CIA and the president. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Finding Success in Failure: True Confessions from 10 Years of Startup Mistakes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 196min
How to launch a successful startup without embarrassing mistakes. What if you could learn more from my failures than from all of Elon Musk's successes combined? Imagine if you could spare yourself years of heartache and self-loathing pounding your head against mistakes I've already made for you. Amazon best-selling author Lucas Carlson presents an entrepreneurship book unlike any other out there. Most startup books focus on the successes of famous founders, but that success is riddled with egomaniacs and survivorship bias. For every one Steve Jobs, there were thousands of geeks just like him who did everything the same as Steve Jobs but never started Apple. So, following in Steve Jobs' footsteps might never again lead to success. For that reason, Nassim Taleb and many others say that learning from mistakes is more robust than learning from successes, because almost everyone makes the same mistakes. The problem is most people aren't willing to be open, honest, and totally candid about their mistakes. In this audiobook, you'll learn: How to use Bayesian statistics to pick startup ideas The startup killing problem with most mission statements Seven things most founders wish someone had told them at the start How to manage the difficult conversations How to make a marriage survive a startup How to think through splitting up equity in a company Bonus: How to manage founder psychology (some reviewers say this is the most important chapter in the book) Bonus: A philosophy of entrepreneurship that can add depth and meaning to your work Listen to this audiobook to find out how to start a business and not make the most egregious errors that plague most founders.

But Don Pedro Martinez intends to install his puppet, the egregious Major Alex Fisher, in order to destroy the Barrington family firm just as the company plans to build its new luxury liner, the MV Buckingham.

Both families are delighted until Priscilla Bingham, Jessica's future mother-in-law, has a visit from an old friend, Lady Virginia Fenwick, who drops her particular brand of poison into the wedding chalice.

This causes an upheaval that none of them could have anticipated, and will change the lives of every member of the Clifton and Barrington families.
