Sinopsis

Soviet Afghanistan explores how a seemingly contained conflict transformed into a global crisis, reshaping international relations and birthing modern terrorism. Delving into the Soviet-Afghan War, the book examines the political motivations behind the 1979 Soviet invasion, the strategies employed, and the dynamics within the Afghan resistance. It reveals that the war not only reshaped the Cold War rivalry but also fostered international jihadist networks and destabilized South Asia. This book presents a comprehensive historical account by leveraging declassified Soviet archives, firsthand accounts from Afghan mujahideen fighters, U.S. intelligence reports, and scholarly analyses.

 
Organized into three parts, the book first sets the stage with pre-invasion Afghanistan and Soviet interests. It then details the war itself, from invasion to Soviet withdrawal, and concludes by exploring the long-term consequences, including the rise of the Taliban and extremist ideologies. Ultimately, the book provides readers with the knowledge to understand the challenges facing the country and the region.

    In each episode of The Great American West, we explore the facts, myths and the fiction about significant events or historical figures in our western heritage. You’ll hear stories about Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Jesse James, Bell Star, Annie Oakley and many others. The stories were written by a group of ex-Hollywood writers and American West history experts. The Great American West stories were written only with facts and no theory. These stories were crafted prior to the advent of the internet, meaning they had to read books, periodicals and transcripts. The idea was to let the listener make up their own minds. 
     
    Our fine cadre of writers was headed by our lead writer, Patty Sprigg, who wrote for NBC television, The Daniel Boone and Disney shows among others. Nancy Bacon who wrote for NBC and David Nivens Four Star Productions. Rounding out our stable of writers was Ted Bryant, news anchor, political analyst and historical scholar. 
      
    We hope you enjoy listening to The Great American West as we really enjoyed voicing these shows.

    Minority Rule - The Right-Wing...

    The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a blatant disregard for the will of the majority. Through voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and political shift. Ari Berman charts these efforts with sweeping historical research and incisive on-the-ground reporting, chronicling how a wide range of antidemocratic tactics interact with profound structural inequalities in institutions like the Electoral College, the Senate, and the Supreme Court to threaten the survival of representative government in America. 
     
     
     
    Some counter-majoritarian measures were built into the Constitution, which was designed in part to benefit a small propertied upper class, but they have metastasized to a degree that the Founding Fathers could never have anticipated, undermining the very notion of "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people." Chilling and revelatory, Minority Rule exposes the long history of the conflict between white supremacy and multiracial democracy that has reached a fever pitch today—while also telling the inspiring story of resistance to these regressive efforts.

    A painfully accurate description of the life of a combat infantryman serving in the jungles of Vietnam. 
    For those who never served, it's an eye-opener. For those who did, it serves as a reminder of that life long ago. 
    "Cherries" presents an unvarnished account, and upon completion, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the trials these young men faced throughout the year. 
    It's a narrative that grips the reader throughout.  
    In 1970, John Kowalski was among many young, inexperienced soldiers sent to Vietnam to fight in a war that was already controversial. Referred to as "Cherries" by their veteran counterparts, these recruits were thrown into a brutal reality. Most were unprepared to handle the intense mental, emotional, and physical challenges of combat. Facing enemy fire and witnessing death firsthand sparks a deep, irreversible change. 
    The author excels at storytelling. Readers will cringe, weep, laugh, shudder, and feel this whole story as if they were there, and not want to set it down. 
    Don't miss this riveting war story by award-winning author John Podlaski.
