Oleg Gordievsky: The Spy Who...

Waleed Saleh

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
In 1983, humanity stood on the precipice of nuclear annihilation. Two superpowers—the United States and Soviet Union—held their fingers over the nuclear button, ready to unleash destruction that could end civilization forever. In this moment of unprecedented danger, one man held the fate of the world in his hands.
Oleg Gordievsky: The Spy Who Stopped Armageddon tells the extraordinary true story of the Soviet KGB agent who became history's most crucial double agent. Born into a distinguished intelligence family, Oleg was raised to serve the Soviet state without question. But when he witnessed the brutal suppression of Czechoslovakia in 1968, his worldview shattered forever.
Working as a double agent for British MI6 while maintaining his cover as a high-ranking KGB officer, Oleg provided intelligence that prevented nuclear war during the most dangerous moments of the Cold War. When NATO's "Able Archer 83" military exercise pushed the Soviets to the brink of launching a preemptive nuclear strike, it was Oleg's critical intelligence that averted global catastrophe.
This gripping narrative reveals the human cost of heroism—the family destroyed, the life sacrificed, and the moral complexity of betraying one's homeland to save humanity. From the shadowy world of Cold War espionage to a daring escape operation that reads like a thriller, this audiobook exposes how close the world came to ending and celebrates the courage of one man who chose conscience over country.
A story of sacrifice, redemption, and the thin line between heroism and treason.

The Irish in the Resistance -...

John Morgan, Clodagh Finn

'You simply couldn't stand by with your arms folded.'
These were the words of Samuel Beckett who famously returned to France from a holiday in Ireland when World War II broke out. His clandestine work against the Nazi occupation of Europe is well documented, but there were many other ordinary Irish people who joined the underground network.
Some took up arms. Others gathered intelligence, sheltered fugitives, committed acts of sabotage or broke codes. This new history tells the stories of those forgotten Irish men and women.
Discover Captain John Keany from Cork, who parachuted into occupied Italy to help the local Resistance; Margaret Kelly, the Dublin founder of the world-famous Bluebell Girls cabaret troupe in Paris, who hid her Jewish husband; and Catherine Crean, the Irish governess born on Moore Street, Dublin, who was sent to a concentration camp for helping Allied airmen in Belgium.
These, and many more stories, span the course of World War II and remind us of the power of individuals to make a difference.
'An eye-opening account of how ordinary people caught up in extraordinary situations helped to fight the Nazis' David McCullagh

Your Eyes Will Be My Window -...

Jodi Varon

Your Eyes Will Be My Window reclaims the two erasures of Esta Plat. Murdered in Ukraine by Nazi troops in 1942, evidence of the life of Esta Plat was preserved in a bundle of her letters until the letters were tossed into a dumpster and destroyed. Haunted by the inheritance of survivor's guilt and shame in a family that kept no Old World keepsakes except her grandmother's one-sentence memory of Esta Plat, Jodi Varonis compelled to sift through records of Europe's genocidal past. 
 
 
 
Pitting grandiose Holocaust memorials against the act of bearing witness, Varon confronts the limitations of history, folklore, archival data, and survivor testimonies. Seeking solace in ritual, she challenges her upbringing as an outlier Jew in the Rocky Mountain West to provide a window to the meaning of cultural displacement in immigrant communities. When an ethnic German woman's corpse was discarded across from Varon's rented flat in Baden-Württemberg, the homemade memorial for Nadine E. prompts a meditation on violence against women and girls as a weapon of suppression and war. The record of unfiltered emotions among Kindertransport survivors in Europe, journalists in Ludwigsburg, and archivists and guides in Jerusalem, Your Eyes Will Be My Window is a defiant exercise in honoring the lost.
