Little Vic and the Great Mafia War

Larry McShane

June 20, 1991. A five-man hit team waited in a car outside the Long Island home of Victor Orena, the acting crime boss of the Colombo crime family. Orena recognized the vehicle—and managed to escape with his life. Over the next year, more shots would be fired in what would become the last major mob war in New York's crime-soaked history—and one of the bloodiest. The war ended with Orena's 1992 arrest and conviction for racketeering. 
 
 
 
With shocking new revelations from Orena's son Andrew, this eye-opening account takes listeners inside the criminal underworld of New York's infamous "Five Families" from the point of view of one of its rising stars. The grandson of Sicilian immigrants, Victor Orena ingratiated himself with the local Mafiosi during his teens. Ascending the ranks, he eventually became acting boss of the family when its don Carmine "The Snake" Persico was sentenced to prison. But as Persico struggled to maintain control from behind bars, Orena decided to seize that power for himself—launching a ruthless mob war the city would never forget. 
 
 
 
Featuring a rogues gallery of legendary mobsters—from the Gallo brothers to the Gambinos and John Gotti—this riveting account sheds new light on one of the most fascinating chapters in American crime.

Out of Italy - Two Centuries of...

Fernand Braudel

From the author of Memory and the Mediterranean, a comprehensive history of the Italian city states from 1450 to 1650. 
 
 
 
In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, "Italy" exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. Its cultural, economic, and political dominance is utterly astonishing and unique in world history. Viewing the Italy (the many Italies?) of that time through the lens of today allows us to gather a fragmented, multi-faceted, and seemingly contradictory history into a single unifying narrative that speaks to our current reality as much as it does to a specific historical period. This is what the acclaimed French historian, Fernand Braudel, achieves here. He brings to life the two extraordinary centuries that span the Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Baroque and analyzes the complex interaction between art, science, politics, and commerce during Italy's extraordinary cultural flowering.

Why Diets Don't Work

Elena Cross

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
"What if the reason you can’t stick to a diet has nothing to do with willpower—and everything to do with how your body and mind are designed? In this eye-opening audiobook, Vera Mindwell dismantles the myths behind the multibillion-dollar diet industry and exposes why restrictive eating plans almost always fail in the long run. Instead of blaming yourself for lack of discipline, you’ll discover how biological survival mechanisms, psychological rebound effects, and cultural pressures sabotage even the most determined attempts at weight loss.
Drawing from neuroscience, metabolic research, and behavioral psychology, Mindwell explains how dieting triggers the brain to fixate on food, slows the metabolism, and creates cycles of guilt, craving, and bingeing that feel impossible to escape. She reveals why short-term success often masks deeper hormonal and emotional disruptions—and why the “eat less, try harder” model is fundamentally flawed. More importantly, Why Diets Don’t Work offers a compassionate and evidence-based alternative. Learn how intuitive eating, body neutrality, and sustainable habits create lasting wellbeing without obsession or deprivation. Mindwell empowers you to rebuild trust with your body, break free from the diet mindset, and pursue health in a way that feels nourishing—not punishing.
If you’re exhausted by constant dieting, this audiobook offers relief, clarity, and a path toward true freedom."
