    The Mystical Basis of Masonry: Foundations of Freemasonry Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
    Acclaimed masonic writer, W. L. Wilmshurst approaches this topic with fervor, asserting that, "Masonry was not intended to be, and is not, a high-grade Friendly Society and its charitable energies are merely an incident of, and not the motive for, its existence. That it is a school of morality, tending to promote peace and goodwill amongst men, which is also wholly true, again fails to suffice, for men need not join a secret society, or enter into the obligations of silence required therefrom, merely to learn rudimentary ethics which it is the common duty of the whole world to know and practice." Instead, Wilmshurst points to our masonic journey as a, "quest of the Grail" or "the search for the Lost Word, or the guarding of an empty Sepulcher; we may term it the achievement of the Great Work, or the discovery of the Philosopher's Stone" all the while acknowledging the monumental writings of A.E. Waite, as he goes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Hanin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/028160/bk_acx0_028160_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    March 1917: On the Brink of War and Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 647min
    We are provincials no longer, said Woodrow Wilson on March 5, 1917, at his second inaugural. He spoke on the eve of America's entrance into World War I, as Russia teetered between autocracy and democracy. Just 10 days after Wilson's declaration, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated the throne, ending a three-centuries-long dynasty and ushering in the false dawn of a democratic Russia. Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany a few short weeks later, asserting the United States' new role as a global power and its commitment to spreading American ideals abroad. Will Englund draws on a wealth of contemporary diaries, memoirs, and newspaper accounts to furnish texture and personal detail to the story of that month. March 1917 celebrates the dreams of warriors, pacifists, revolutionaries, and reactionaries, even as it demonstrates how their successes and failures constitute the origin story of the complex world we inhabit a century later. ungekürzt.

    Hitler's Compromises: Coercion and Consensus in Nazi Germany , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 756min
    History has focused on Hitler's use of charisma and terror, asserting that the dictator made few concessions to maintain power. Nathan Stoltzfus, the award-winning author of Resistance of Heart: Intermarriage and the Rosenstrasse Protest in Germany, challenges this notion, assessing the surprisingly frequent tactical compromises Hitler made in order to preempt hostility and win the German people's complete fealty. As part of his strategy to secure a "1,000-year Reich", Hitler sought to convince the German people to believe in Nazism so they would perpetuate it permanently and actively shun those who were out of step with society. When widespread public dissent occurred at home - which most often happened when policies conflicted with popular traditions or encroached on private life - Hitler made careful calculations and acted strategically to maintain his popular image. Extending from the 1920s to the regime's collapse, this revealing history makes a powerful and original argument that will inspire a major rethinking of Hitler's rule. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Die Herausforderung der Diktaturen
    After the First World War, the Catholic Church was forced on the defensive by totalitarian mass-movements in both Italy and Germany. Fascism and National Socialism challenged Catholicismâ??s traditional position in society. This volume is the first to bring together contributions by leading German and Italian historians and theologians and thus to present a graphic account of the Catholic Church's strategies for asserting itself between 1918 and 1943/45.Die Frage nach dem Verhalten von Katholiken - von Kirchenvolk, Klerus und Kurie - angesichts der massiven Herausforderung durch Faschismus und Nationalsozialismus hat bis heute nichts an Sprengkraft verloren. Der Sammelband, an dem führende deutsche Historiker und Theologen beteiligt sind, legt erstmals nach Öffnung der Vatikanischen Archive eine deutsch-italienische Bestandsaufnahme vor. Er durchbricht die nationalgeschichtliche Beschränkung der älteren Forschung und greift zugleich neuere kulturwissenschaftliche Impulse auf. Indem er das Schicksal der katholischen Parteien und des katholischen Vereinswesens ebenso behandelt wie die Frage nach der Existenz eines katholischen Widerstands und dem prekären Verhältnis von Katholizismus und Antisemitismus, entwirft er ein anschauliches Bild des "katholischen Milieus" wie des "mondo cattolico" und durchmisst zudem das Spektrum katholischer Selbstbehauptungsstrategien zwischen 1918 und 1943/45.

    Feminism Unfinished: A Short, Surprising History of American Women's Movements , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    The American women’s movement has been shrouded in myths, argue three leading scholars in this bold and revisionist history. Eschewing the conventional wisdom that places the origins of the American women’s movement in the nostalgic glow of the late 1960s, Feminism Unfinished traces the beginnings of this seminal American social movement to the 1920s, in the process creating an expanded, historical narrative that dramatically rewrites a century of American women’s history. Also challenging the contemporary "lean-in", trickle-down feminist philosophy and asserting that women’s histories all too often depoliticize politics, labor issues, and divergent economic circumstances, Dorothy Sue Cobble, Linda Gordon, and Astrid Henry demonstrate that the post-Suffrage women’s movement focused on exploitation of women in the workplace as well as on inherent sexual rights. The authors carefully revise our "wave" vision of feminism, which previously suggested that there were clear breaks and sharp divisions within these media-driven "waves". Showing how history books have obscured the notable activism by working-class and minority women in the past, Feminism Unfinished provides a much-needed corrective. ungekürzt. Language: English.
