He Calls Me by Lightning: The Life of Caliph Washington and the Forgotten Saga of Jim Crow, Southern Justice, and the Death Penalty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 820min
Caliph Washington's life was never supposed to matter. As a black teenager from the vice-ridden city of Bessemer, Alabama, Washington was wrongfully convicted of killing an Alabama policeman in 1957. Sentenced to death, he came within minutes of the electric chair - nearly a dozen times. A Kafka-esque legal odyssey in which Washington's original conviction was overturned three times before he was finally released in 1972, his story is the kind that pervades the history of American justice. Here, in the hands of historian S. Jonathan Bass, Washington's ordeal and life are rescued from anonymity and become a moving parable of one man's survival and perseverance in a hellish system. He Calls Me by Lightning is both a compelling legal drama and a fierce depiction of the Jim Crow South that forces us to take account of the lives cast away by systemic racism. ungekürzt.

A Macat Analysis of Jonathan Riley-Smith's The First Crusade and the Idea of Crusading , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
In the 1960s, British historian Jonathan Riley-Smith first began studying the knightly orders of the Middle Ages that formed after the First Crusade. By the late 1970s, he had begun writing books from a "revisionist" point of view, challenging the common belief that the Crusades were motivated by fanaticism, and were designed to plunder the Holy Lands. To an extent, Riley-Smith's 1986 book The First Crusade and the Idea of Crusading overturned this previously held view. Riley-Smith came to his conclusions after studying handwritten documents held in churches across Western Europe, in which Crusaders explained their personal reasons for heading out on the "holy war." He then pioneered the use of computer spreadsheets to cross-reference data on individual Crusaders and their families, which allowed him to paint a much more complete picture than had been seen previously. He came to the conclusion that most Crusaders were actually motivated by spiritual devotion and a genuine desire to atone for past sins. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Macat.com.
