  Torture and Impunity: The U.S. Doctrine of Coercive Interrogation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 924min

  Many Americans have condemned the "enhanced interrogation" techniques used in the War on Terror as a transgression of human rights. But the United States has done almost nothing to prosecute past abuses or prevent future violations. Tracing this knotty contradiction from the 1950s to the present, historian Alfred W. McCoy probes the political and cultural dynamics that have made impunity for torture a bipartisan policy of the U.S. government. During the Cold War, McCoy argues, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency covertly funded psychological experiments designed to weaken a subject's resistance to interrogation. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the CIA revived these harsh methods, while U.S. media was flooded with seductive images that normalized torture for many Americans. Ten years later, the U.S. had failed to punish the perpetrators or the powerful who commanded them, and continued to exploit intelligence extracted under torture by surrogates from Somalia to Afghanistan. Although Washington has publicly distanced itself from torture, disturbing images from the prisons at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are seared into human memory, doing lasting damage to America's moral authority as a world leader. The book is published by University of Wisconsin Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Halliburton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/021883/bk_acx0_021883_sample.mp3.

  Stolen Innocence: Detective Jake Hunter, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 521min

  Stolen Innocence is the second of the Jake Hunter series of mystery suspense novels. Finding the body of a beautiful young teenage girl launches Fort Worth Police Detective Jake Hunter and his partner, Billy Sanders, into an investigation that pulls them into a world of human trafficking where power brokers buy and sell human beings like cattle. What started out as a suspected runaway escalates into a high speed ride through massage parlors, brothels and human holding centers. Hunter and his team combine forces with Texas Ranger's Detective Connor Barkley as the case expands across several Texas cities. Together, the team follows a trail of evidence and ex-cons discovering that their one victim is connected with multiple others. Their investigation leads them to suspects with big Texas money and connections all the way to the State House. The story highlights the evils associated with an industry that treats people like commodities, how that impacts society as a whole and how the media shapes perceptions and distorts reality. The action never stops as the team is racing not only to solve the original murder but to rescue the ongoing victims. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Halliburton.

  Fort Worth Police Detective Jake "Cowboy" Hunter finds himself looking down the barrel of a gun after chasing a suspect through a dark alley. His split second reaction saves his life, ends another, and launches his team on a fast-paced search for the truth. What seems to be an open-and-shut case of homicide turns into a complicated series of murders and drug overdoses intertwined in the world of narcotics distribution, forcing Hunter and his team to suspect both the good guys and the bad guys. While Hunter struggles with his role in taking a life, his partner Detective Billy Sanders helps lead the investigation as they discover the hidden impact of drugs on users, dealers, first responders, and their families. Hunter's team enlists the help of the FWPD Narcotics division and even Internal Affairs to sort through a confusing web of suspects, victims, leads, and false clues on their way to resolution. And redemption. The revelations don't stop until the very end. The story highlights the collateral damage of America's unsuccessful War on Drugs, and how even casual drug use causes devastating consequences.

  When two local gangbangers are found dead, who really cares? This "who cares" case quickly turns into a high-profile hunt for a serial vigilante killer. The body count and pressure rise in Fort Worth, Texas, as local community leaders and media pundits stir up political discourse and racial tensions mount. Police Detective Jake "Cowboy" Hunter has been out of the field for six months struggling to overcome the on-duty shooting death of his longtime partner. His boss has an easy case for him to "get back in the saddle" while breaking in a new detective. After all, it's just another case of bad guys ending up dead. While he readjusts to being back on the streets, Hunter and his temporary partner, Billy Sanders, find themselves sloshing through the gang infested underbelly of Fort Worth as they chase a vigilante who has set himself up as a modern-day serial Bernard Goetz. In the process, he has set off a firestorm of racially tinged political pressure by choosing minority gangbangers as his targets. Between the piling body count and the media frenzy building to what's sure to be an all-out war on the streets, Hunter and his team's investigation leads them to suspect even the "good guys". Tensions escalate until Hunter discovers the media hype can help him outsmart the killer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Halliburton.

  San Francisco Giants: Where Have You Gone? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 410min

  An old gangster becomes a gangbuster. A pitcher inspires his two daughters to become professional athletes. Two best friends split apart, only to separately land behind bars. In Giants: Where Have You Gone? authors Wylie Wong and Matt Johanson reconnect listeners to San Francisco players of the past, especially those whose lives took dramatic turns. Included in the book are stories about Willie McCovey's struggles to heal his ruined knees, Orlando Cepeda finding peace through Buddhism after a drug conviction and prison term, and Will Clark, after learning that his son was autistic, going to bat for other children with the brain disorder. The drama of many Giants players' careers can be relived, with commentary from team legends like Felipe Alou, Dusty Baker, Lon Simmons, and Hank Greenwald. San Francisco Giants: Where Have You Gone? also offers the chance for fans to reacquaint themselves through up-close and personal portraits of the players' current lives. Jack "The Ripper" Clark did the unthinkable by joining the Los Angeles Dodgers as a coach; fired by the team after a near-fatal motorcycle accident, he returns to Dodger-hating form. Bob Brenly discovers that even a World Series-winning manager can lose his job over a bad team. Greg "Moon Man" Minton renovates swimming pools and hunts elk with a bow. Joel Youngblood experiences the boom and bust of the dot-com economy, while Chris Brown avoids gunfire as a Halliburton truck driver in Iraq. Finally, listeners will touch base with coaches Mark Davis and Chris Speier for a glimpse into clubhouses in both leagues and a snapshot of the game in the early 21st century. ungekürzt.
