    Game of Spies: The Secret Agent, the Traitor and the Nazi, Bordeaux 1942-1944 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 731min
    A riveting three-way spy story set in occupied France. In the tradition of Ben MacIntyre, Game of Spies tells the story of a lethal spy triangle in Bordeaux between 1942 and 1944 - and of France's greatest betrayal, by aristocratic and right-wing Resistance leader Andre Grandclement. The story centres on three men - one British, one French and one German - and the duel they fought out in an atmosphere of collaboration, betrayal and assassination, in which comrades sold fellow comrades, Allied agents and downed pilots to the Germans as casually as they would a bottle of wine. It is a story of SOE, treachery, bed-hopping and executions in the city labelled la plus collaboratrice in the whole of France. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paddy Ashdown.

    The Death of Royalty: The Lives and Executions of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
    Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette are among France's most famous royalty, but for reasons they would have much rather avoided. Coming of age in the wake of the reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and his father, Louis XV, Louis XVI initially intended to be one of France's most enlightened Kings. Instead, he was destined to be the only French King ever executed. Indeed, it is his death and his role in fomenting the French Revolution (along with his infamous Queen, Marie Antoinette) that continue to play the central role in Louis XVI's legacy. Throughout history, a countless number of historical figures have had their lives overshadowed by the myths and legends that surround them to the extent that their legacy comes to define them. In French history, this is truer of Marie Antoinette than just about everyone else. Nearly 220 years after she was put to the guillotine, Marie Antoinette is more famous than ever, fairly or unfairly coming to epitomize royalty and everything that was wrong with it. Since her death, Marie Antoinette has been the subject of sharp historical debate over whether she was actually a catalyst in the French Revolution or simply an insignificant scapegoat who was unfairly made a target. ungekürzt.

    Secrets, Plots, and Hidden Agendas: What You Don't Know about Conspiracy Theories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min
    Were the government actions at Ruby Ridge and Waco "planned executions"? Has the national debt been deliberately increased to give international bankers control over the country? Is there a secret organization of top political, economic, military, and religious leaders whose goal is to control the entire planet? The people who answer "yes" to such questions are not just extremists; they number in the millions, wear suits, and pay their taxes. News of conspiracies has spread broadly by the Internet, by declassified government reports, by prominent leaders who publicly favor global government, and by interpretations of Bible prophecy. But what is the truth? In this book, Paul Coughlin uncovers the facts about prevalent conspiracy theories and discusses the reasons that so many people believe them to be true. ungekürzt.

That meant that Sanchez, Connor's closest friend, a man he had laughed and drank with, had been butchered by the cartels. The army brass never suspected the murders were more than simple executions. But Connor found a trail back to the real killers. How could this have happened? This is the second of three audiobooks in the Detective series.

    The Lazy Historian's Guide to the Wives of Henry VIII , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min
    You can't spell “Tudor dynasty” without getting “nasty”.  So, you've watched The Tudors, and you've read Wolf Hall, but do you know the real story of Catherine, Anne, Jane, Anne, Katheryn, and Katherine? (Best name for an all-woman post-medieval law firm ever.)  Love affairs, court scandal, executions - just your average Tuesday in the Tudor court.  Penned by a lifelong “Henry Head”, The Lazy Historian's Guide to the Wives of Henry VIII combines Jillianne Hamilton's sassy, fun, and snarky storytelling with one of history's most alluring eras. Focusing on the lives of the wives, and less about the dudes around them, The Lazy Historian's Guide to the Wives of Henry VIII gives the six unfortunate queens the biography for which they almost certainly wouldn't have asked. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.  ungekürzt. Language: English.
