Summary of A Promised Land by Barack Obama: Summary and Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
Note to listeners: This is an unofficial summary and analysis of Barack Obama’s, designed to enrich your listening experience. Genius Reads is wholly responsible for this content and is not associated with the original author in any way.A Promised Land covers Barack Obama’s life and career between his entries into politics to the capture of Osama bin Laden. He covers a little of the same information that is found in The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father, but goes further into some of the political maneuvering and strategies employed by the Obama administration to bring the US out of the recession. Though the book runs roughly chronological, it is, in essence, arranged thematically. He addresses each subject through its history, from a world, American, and personal perspective. In each section, he seeks to draw out key issues and ideas in an attempt to acknowledge the complexities of politics in an interconnected world. His tone is conversational and relaxed. Though it is clear he is a master of language and incredibly well-read, he avoids academic or convoluted language and makes an admirable attempt at clarifying complex legal procedures. Along the way, he shares some astonishing insights into both friends and adversaries. He makes it clear that his administration was very much a team effort, and the book is filled with anecdotes, arguments, and admiration. We also get to see the man behind the politics and a portrait of a normal family thrust into the limelight - overwhelmed sometimes, bold and brazen at others. From the very first description of his morning walks in the White House Gardens, it is clear that he has a deep love of descriptive language. As a seasoned traveler, he brings us with him on his trips to Moscow, England, India, and the Middle East, in passages rich in detail. At the heart of the book, we find a Barack Obama unlike the confident and charming president of his many pub ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Debbie Shocair.

Courting Disaster: How the CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 737min
Marc Thiessen knows more than almost anyone outside the CIA about what went on at CIA “black sites” and at the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. As chief speechwriter for President Bush, he was given unprecedented access to some of the most sensitive intelligence our government possessed on al Qaeda terrorists. He has since spent countless hours interviewing the men and women involved in the interrogations at every level—from Vice President Dick Cheney to the interrogators themselves. In chilling detail, Thiessen reveals how close the terrorists came to striking again, and how intelligence gained from “enhanced interrogation” repeatedly stymied their plots. He also shows how President Obama’s dismantling of this CIA program, as well as his releasing of secret documents that have aided our enemies, is inviting disaster for America. ungekürzt.

Wait, It Gets Worse: Love, Death, and My Transformation from Control Freak to Human Being , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
Lydia Slaby was 33 years old and had everything she believed would make her happy: three fancy private school degrees, a successful husband who was in the inner circles of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, a high-paying job as an attorney - even an enviable yoga practice. But under the surface Lydia’s life was in free fall. Her new marriage was one argument after another, she had a job she never wanted, and for some reason she had begun to rapidly lose weight, eventually turning a strange shade of yellowish-green. When she made a doctor’s appointment to talk about the toll of extreme stress, she was instead admitted with a diagnosis of lymphoma. As a cancer survivor, Lydia tries to piece back together her marriage, her career, and her own worth. It’s an imperfect rebirth, but perfection is something she must abandon if she is to find a new calm, healthy life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lydia Slaby.

Wealth and Poverty: A New Edition for the Twenty-First Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 917min
Hailed as "the guide to capitalism", the New York Times best seller Wealth and Poverty is one of the most influential economics books of all time and has sold more than one million copies since its first release. In this modern classic, Gilder affirms the moral superiority of free-market capitalism and explains why supply-side economics is more effective at decreasing poverty than government-regulated markets. Now, in a completely updated edition of Wealth and Poverty, Gilder compares America’s current economic challenges with its past economic problems - particularly those of the late 1970s - and explains why Obama’s big-government, redistributive policies are doing more harm than good for the poor. Making the case that supply-side economics and free-market policies are - and always will be - the answer to decreasing America’s poverty rate and increasing her prosperity, Wealth and Poverty offers solutions to America’s current economic problems and hope to those who fear that our best days are behind us. ungekürzt.

A Dreadful Deceit: The Myth of Race from the Colonial Era to Obama’s America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 874min
In 1656, a planter in colonial Maryland tortured and killed one of his slaves, an Angolan man named Antonio who refused to work the fields. Over three centuries later, a Detroit labor organizer named Simon Owens watched as strikebreakers wielding bats and lead pipes beat his fellow autoworkers for protesting their inhumane working conditions. Antonio and Owens had nothing in common but the color of their skin and the economic injustices they battled - yet the former is what defines them in America’s consciousness. In A Dreadful Deceit, award-winning historian Jacqueline Jones traces the lives of these two men and four other African Americans to reveal how the concept of race has obscured the factors that truly divide and unite us. Expansive, visionary, and provocative, A Dreadful Deceit explodes the pernicious fiction that has shaped American history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christine Williams.
