The "gifts," from a long-dead but seemingly benevolent alien race, have been sent to help humanity defend itself against an imminent threat. It’s clear that the gifts are intended to help, but at what price? Caught in the middle is Sam Steele, a high-level programmer and veteran with a tragic past, up against the arrogant, intransigent Colonel Eric Web, who considers Steele a loose cannon and is most concerned with giving the United States an edge in the upcoming battle.

    Lyndon B. Johnson , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
    President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was sworn in aboard Air Force One hours after JFK’s assassination in Dallas, used his ample skills in cajoling and arm-twisting to push through the most significant civil rights legisla­tion in American history, in the form of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, after Kennedy’s death. A towering Texan, LBJ also believed in using political muscle to overpower the intransigent courts and legal precedent that stood in his way. He thus managed to use the Commerce Clause cases of the New Deal era to advance his Great Soci­ety agenda. Yet when LBJ left office after a single full term, he was bit­ter, frustrated, and exhausted, having been engulfed by public controversy over the Vietnam War. Nonetheless, Lyndon Johnson left in place one of the greatest constitutional and legislative achievements in the nation’s history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Runnette.
