    The Storm of Steel is a first-hand account of World War I trench combat lifted from the diaries of Ernst Jünger, a German infantryman who would become one of Europe's most renowned writers.
    
    The book was first translated into English in 1929 by Basil Creighton, the acclaimed translator of many other classic works of German literature, and was widely hailed as a masterpiece. To many, The Storm of Steel remains the definitive account of World War I, following Jünger through several major battles as he develops from an eager young soldier into a battle-hardened officer.

    The Real Moby Dick - The True...

    For more than a century, Moby-Dick has captivated readers with its epic tale of obsession, revenge, and the relentless pursuit of an almost mythical white whale. Herman Melville’s novel, often considered one of the greatest works of American literature, is filled with symbolism and philosophical depth. Yet, behind this work of fiction lies a true story—one of survival, maritime danger, and an extraordinary encounter with a real-life white whale that terrorized whalers in the early 19th century. The legend of Moby Dick is more than just fiction; it is rooted in historical events, shaped by firsthand accounts, and woven into the fabric of seafaring lore.  
      
    The inspiration for Melville’s famous novel came from two key sources: the Essex tragedy and the real-life white whale known as Mocha Dick. The Essex, a whaling ship from Nantucket, was attacked and sunk by a massive sperm whale in 1820, leaving its crew stranded in the open ocean. Their harrowing tale of survival, including desperate decisions that pushed them to the limits of human endurance, became one of the most infamous maritime disasters of the era. Meanwhile, whalers of the Pacific frequently told stories of an unusually large and aggressive albino whale that had survived multiple harpoon attacks. This whale, named Mocha Dick after the Chilean island where he was often seen, was known to fight back with remarkable intelligence and force. These real events formed the foundation for Melville’s fictional masterpiece, blending reality with myth in a way that continues to spark curiosity and debate.

    The award-winning film version of this "world-changing true story" was featured by PBS across country during Black History Month 2025. The film highlighted the startling relevance of a riveting trial more than half a century ago when a black revolutionary, Black Panther Party co-founder Huey Newton, faced execution for the death of a white policeman -- with totally unexpected results. This audiobook was narrated by Rua, the same actor who voiced Huey Newton in the documentary. It allows listeners to take a ringside seat at the case that transformed the traditional all white male "jury of one's peers" to a jury truly drawn from a cross-section of the community, including women and minorities. The book also provides a rare look behind the scenes into life-or-death jury deliberations and features comments from key trial participants and observers. Pioneering television journalist Belva Davis vividly described the participants in that historic trial: "The Newton trial cast of characters would be hard to put together for a Hollywood film --- the defense attorney, the prosecutor, the jury foreman, the makeup of the jury, Newton himself." Huey's older brother Melvin Newton captured the essence of that historic trial, inspiring the book's title: "The prosecution represents the state -- the People of California vs. Huey Newton was putting Huey Newton on trial. As it turned out, [my brother] Huey put the United States on trial." 
    Award-winning author Lise Pearlman (www.lisepearlman.com) is a retired judge and the country's leading expert on the 1968 Newton trial. She appeared in Stanley Nelson's top-rated 2015 documentary "The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution" and created the award-winning 2022 film project for which she served as co-producer, American Justice on Trial recently renamed "In the Crosshairs." www.justicemovie.com

    The circumstances surrounding the bizarre photograph initially inspiring Meredith Carson to ghostwrite Jack Wagoner’s horrifying account are now included in this audiobook and remain unexplained. When Meredith Carson accepted the task of ghostwriting the frightening narrative you are about to hear, she had no idea how that decision would affect her. Miss Carson shared with other members of the World Codex Staff that, at times, while transcribing Jack Wagoner’s spellbinding story, she felt like Agent Starling from THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Meredith Carson’s unnerving experience documenting Wagoner’s struggle for survival in the Klamath Mountains and the subsequent events is astonishing.
