Caesar and the Roman Republic -...

Rogan Fish

Julius Caesar’s rise to power is one of the most fascinating stories in Roman history. Born into a patrician family in 100 BCE, Caesar’s early life was marked by both privilege and struggle. Although he came from a noble family, his position was not secure. His family had fallen from political prominence, and Caesar’s early years were fraught with financial difficulties and political rivalries. His father died when Caesar was young, leaving him to navigate the complex political landscape of Rome largely on his own.
Caesar’s first major step toward power came when he joined the military, gaining valuable experience and recognition in the Roman army. His leadership and military skill helped him rise through the ranks, and by 69 BCE, he had secured a position as quaestor, a crucial step in his political career. During his time in the army, Caesar gained a reputation for his boldness and ambition, qualities that would define his later political career.
His political journey truly began when he formed the First Triumvirate in 60 BCE, a political alliance with two of Rome’s most powerful figures: Pompey the Great and Crassus. This alliance was not born of friendship, but rather of mutual interests. Pompey sought land for his soldiers and recognition for his military victories, while Crassus, the wealthiest man in Rome, sought political influence and power. Caesar, for his part, wanted to secure military command and the financial backing necessary to rise to the top of Roman politics. Together, they formed a formidable bloc that allowed Caesar to advance rapidly in his career.

Walk to Freedom:...

John L. Lenburg

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
June 30, 1944, fifty members of the United States 460th Bomb Group embarked on an important mission to destroy German oil refineries in Silesia, Hungary, only to come under heavy attack. Above the cloud cover, German twin-engine Me-410 fighters firing 20-millimeter cannons blasted seven B-24s out of the sky. Seventeen U.S. airmen were killed, twenty-four captured, with many burned, wounded, or beaten by Hungarian peasants after parachuting to the ground. This single event marked the beginning of a heart-wrenching episode in the life of one airman: T/Sgt. John L. Lenburg. On his thirty-sixth mission, he was shot down along with the crew of their B-24, “Miss Fortune,” over enemy lines near Lake Balaton, Hungary. Taken prisoner (or “Kriegsgefangenen #6410,” the code name the Germans gave him), he never knew if he would see his homeland again.
WALK TO FREEDOM: Kriegsgefangenen #6410 - Prisoner of War is Lenburg’s powerful, compelling account of his 327 days of imprisonment and long walk to freedom eleven months after his capture. Recalling the inhumane treatment and horrific conditions of his encampment, the missions and memories, and the reunions of the few who survived fifty years later, this revised and expanded, illustrated memoir demonstrates why Lenburg and his crew were “the greatest generation” of their time.
REVIEWS

"A powerful saga of violence, suffering, strength of character and the determination to persevere...a welcome and much appreciated contribution to the growing library of World War II combatant biographies and eye-witness memoirs." --Midwest Book Review

Jim Morrison

Jim Morrison, the enigmatic frontman of the iconic rock band The Doors, lived a life filled with artistic expression, rebellion, and introspection.

His music, poetry, and provocative persona continue to captivate audiences, making him an enduring figure in rock and roll history.

Morrison's legacy lies in his ability to push boundaries and challenge societal norms through his art. As the lyricist and vocalist of The Doors, he explored themes of love, darkness, freedom, and the human condition with profound intensity.

His performances were characterized by a raw, uninhibited energy that captivated audiences, establishing him as one of rock's most iconic and controversial figures.
In addition to his music, Morrison's poetry and writings reflected his profound introspection and artistic vision. He published two collections of poetry, "The Lords and the New Creatures" and "An American Prayer," which revealed his talent for blending vivid imagery, introspective musings, and social commentary. Morrison's exploration of themes such as identity, mortality, and spirituality added depth to his artistry and provided insight into his complex worldview.

The Deadly Path - How Operation...

Peter J. Forcelli, Keelin MacGregor

Pete Forcelli was a highly respected federal agent in New York City, where he made an impact on violent crime by successfully targeting some of the city's most violent street gangs by using federal racketeering and continuing criminal enterprise statutes in conjunction with federal prosecutors. In early 2007, he was promoted to a supervisory position in Phoenix and quickly discovered that federal prosecutors were not charging criminals for violating federal firearms laws, even in instances where they knew guns were being trafficked to ultra-violent drug cartels. 
 
 
 
When those very same prosecutors spoke about possibly indicting John Dodson, a special agent who blew the whistle on Operation Fast and Furious, Forcelli stepped forward and contacted Congress. Forcelli became a whistleblower himself, detailing how federal prosecutors in Arizona not only failed to prosecute gun traffickers, but allowed a man who was making hundreds of hand grenades for the Sinaloa Cartel to continue his operations unabated for years. At that moment, those prosecutors and officials from the Department of Justice came after him, leading to a nearly four-year battle for Forcelli to clear his name. 
 
 
 
This book provides his insider's account of the scandal that stands as one of the worst stains on federal law enforcement.
