War Victims - The Silent...

Marcus Klein

This book consists of the following two titles: 
War Crimes - The need for accountability in the face of war crimes is critical. It is not only about bringing perpetrators to justice but also about establishing a global standard that deters such crimes in the future. The introduction of international laws and institutions aimed at prosecuting war crimes marks a pivotal shift in the international community's approach to warfare. The atrocities committed during World War II, particularly the Holocaust and other acts of genocide, were a wake-up call for the global community. This led to the creation of the Nuremberg Trials, the first real attempt to hold individuals accountable for war crimes, and set the foundation for modern international law. 
Child Soldiers - The use of child soldiers in armed conflicts represents one of the most tragic and pervasive human rights violations of our time. Children, often as young as eight or nine, are forcibly recruited or manipulated into participating in violent wars, often by rebel groups or government forces. These young individuals, deprived of their innocence and forced to endure unimaginable hardships, are exploited in ways that not only strip them of their childhoods but also leave lasting scars on their bodies, minds, and spirits.

When the Last One Fell Silent -...

P Agrawal

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
When the Last One Fell Silent: Stories of Extinct Creatures is a haunting yet deeply human exploration of extinction—told not as dry statistics, but as a series of vivid portraits that bring lost creatures back to life through story, imagery, and reflection. From the island forests where dodos once waddled without fear, to the endless skies once blackened by passenger pigeons, to the misty rainforests where golden toads shimmered like jewels, each chapter of this book immerses readers in the world as it once was—and as it might never be again.
Extinction is as old as life itself, but in the last few centuries its rhythm has changed. Where once climate, asteroids, and ice shaped life and loss, today extinction bears the clear mark of one species—our own. This book moves tenderly through history, telling the stories of animals we have lost: the thylacine of Tasmania, hunted more by rumor than truth; the great auk and Steller’s sea cow, slaughtered out of utility and curiosity; the Pyrenean ibex, which briefly flickered back into life through cloning before disappearing again; the mammoths, whose heavy footfalls once trembled across frozen steppes; and the baiji dolphin, the gentle goddess of the Yangtze, drowned beneath the noise of factories and boats.
Each chapter does more than recount the facts of extinction. It lingers on the silences that follow. Silence of forests once filled with birds. Silence of oceans where seals no longer bark. Silence of mountains where goats no longer leap. Readers are invited not only to see the loss but to feel it—the grief of the final call, the heaviness of absence, the weight of knowing that these lives were here, and now they are not.
At the same time, When the Last One Fell Silent is not simply an elegy. It is also a mirror and a warning. Chapters on myths and legends show how humans carry the memory of vanished animals in stories of dragons, thunder birds, and mermaids.

The Hong Kong Protests - The...

Fredrich Hazelton

Hong Kong, a former British colony handed back to China in 1997, has long been a symbol of political and economic success. Its unique status under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework promised a high degree of autonomy, preserving its freedoms and capitalist economy for 50 years after the handover. However, in recent years, this promise has been put to the test, as Beijing's increasing influence over the region has sparked widespread protests and growing unrest. These protests, driven by a desire to protect Hong Kong’s democracy and autonomy, have become a focal point for global discussions about civil liberties, governance, and the future of one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.
The roots of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movements can be traced back to the 1997 handover and the promises of autonomy that accompanied it. Despite these promises, many in Hong Kong have felt that their political freedoms and rights are being steadily eroded. In response, various pro-democracy movements have emerged over the years, with the youth of the city playing a significant role in these campaigns. Their efforts have challenged not only local authorities but also the central government in Beijing, which has worked to tighten its control over the city in ways that many see as incompatible with Hong Kong’s unique status.
The most significant of these movements has been the series of protests that have swept across Hong Kong in the past decade. The 2014 Umbrella Movement, a response to proposed electoral reforms, marked a pivotal moment in Hong Kong’s struggle for democracy. It demonstrated the growing dissatisfaction with Beijing's influence and the increasing willingness of Hong Kong citizens to take to the streets in protest. Yet, it was the 2019 Anti-Extradition Bill protests that would bring the issue of Hong Kong's autonomy to the world stage.

He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 47th Infantry (Mechanized) in the northern Mekong Delta for a tour of forcing himself through rice paddies and jungles all day and then setting ambushes at night. He concluded his tour with a stint at battalion headquarters.
