  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  The Ashanti Empire, flourishing from the 17th to the 19th century in what is now Ghana, stands as a testament to the resilience and sophistication of African states. This powerful kingdom was established through a unique blend of indigenous cultural traditions and political innovations, creating a centralized authority that not only governed a vast territory but also unified diverse ethnic groups under a single national identity. At the heart of this unity was the revered Golden Stool, a symbol of divine providence and the collective spirit of the Ashanti people. 
  Emerging from a landscape rich in natural resources and strategic trade routes, the Ashanti Empire developed robust economic foundations. Gold, kola nuts, and other valuable commodities flowed through well-established networks, facilitating both internal prosperity and external exchanges with neighboring regions and distant trading partners. This economic strength enabled the empire to invest in military expansion and administrative structures that further consolidated its power. 
  The political organization of the Ashanti Empire was characterized by a sophisticated hierarchy led by the Asantehene, whose authority was both political and spiritual. This dual role was crucial in maintaining social order and ensuring loyalty among the various clans and communities within the empire. The administration was further supported by councils of elders and local chiefs, who played significant roles in the governance process by mediating disputes and enforcing the laws that held the society together.

  The Arab uprisings of the early 2010s raised hopes for the development of more democratic structures and better living conditions for millions in the region. Instead, they were followed by authoritarian backlash, civil wars, economic collapse and food and energy insecurity.
  
  
  Young people are often the ones hit hardest by the conjunction of these problems. How do they cope with insecurities and growing uncertainties, and what drives them to pursue their own dreams in spite of being disenfranchised?
  
  The Dispossessed Generation is the most comprehensive, in-depth study of young people in the MENA region to date, providing invaluable insights into their self-perceptions and life chances. In this volume, an interdisciplinary team of researchers assess a survey of 12,000 sixteen- to thirty-year-olds from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen. They illuminate the extent to which young people engage with their societies and mine new opportunities from a multiplicity of crises.

  Lieutenant General James Gavin, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division during WWII, is one of the best-known figures of the war. Beginning as the commander of the 505th Parachute Combat Team that spearheaded the American assault on Sicily in July 1943, Gavin advanced to division command and finally command of US forces in Berlin. He kept a wartime diary that starts in April 1943, as the unit was preparing to go to northern Africa and continues through to his final entry on September 1, 1945, during the occupation of Berlin. 
   
   
   
  During the war years, Gavin came into close contact with virtually all the leading airborne commanders and many others who would advance to the top levels of Army leadership. His diary includes observations on fellow military and political leaders, army operations, and the general's personal life. Gavin was an officer who led by example: on four combat jumps, he was the first man out the door. 
   
   
   
  For decades, Gavin kept the existence of the journal a secret; the general's family discovered it among his belongings after his death. Editor Lewis "Bob" Sorley has worked closely with the Gavin family and the Army Heritage Center to prepare the diary for publication. His edited and annotated version includes a prologue and epilogue to frame the entries within the wider scope of the general's life.
