  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Middle East conflict is one of the most covered and least understood stories in modern history. The headlines never stop. The context almost never arrives. 
   
  The Middle East Conflict: A Plain-English Guide to What's Actually Happening is the accessible, nonpartisan overview for anyone who wants to understand what is actually going on—where the conflict came from, why it has persisted for decades, who the key players are, what each side believes they are fighting for, and why every proposed solution has so far failed to hold. No jargon. No agenda. No assumption that you already know the history. 
   
  Inside this audiobook you will learn the historical background that shaped the modern conflict including the Ottoman era, the British Mandate period, the founding of Israel, and the displacement of Palestinian populations, how the major wars of the 20th century redrew borders and hardened divisions that still define the conflict today, who the key actors are including governments, armed factions, international bodies, and regional powers and what each of them wants, why the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the question of Palestinian statehood remain the central unresolved fault lines, how the United States, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and other regional and global powers influence the conflict from the outside, what the major proposed solutions have been, why they have failed, and what the realistic obstacles to peace actually look like, and how to follow ongoing developments with enough context to understand what you are reading. 
   
  This audiobook does not tell you what to think about the Middle East. It gives you a foundation for thinking about it clearly.

  The Attack on Taranto -...

  On November 11, 1940, 21 slow, canvas-covered British warplanes, launched from the carrier Illustrious, attacked the harbor at the Italian port of Taranto and put most of the Italian navy out of commission. This all-but-forgotten operation, the authors argue, deserves historical recognition as an inspirational precedent for the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor 13 months later. Taranto demonstrated that battleships in a shallow, heavily defended harbor could be sunk by a handful of torpedo-bombers. That lesson Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese fleet, learned well-while the American military virtually ignored it.   “By this single stroke the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean was decisively altered.” –Winston S. Churchill

  Picking Presidents - How to Make...

  Celebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States? 
   
   
    
  In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing a tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. 
   
   
    
  In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualified—and ultimately reviled—James Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society. Picking Presidents lays out a clear framework that anyone can use to judge a candidate and answer the all-important question: are they up to the job?
