  Defeating Jihadist Terrorism

  Since the early 1990s, terrorism and its victims have increased exponentially. Without any action strategy or exit solution, through political and military incompetence, stupidity and ideological blindness, Western interventions have only contributed to its development. We eliminate terrorists, but not terrorism. The solution lies in a more holistic, more subtle, more intelligent and less dogmatic approach. Terrorism is not an ideology. It is a method that takes many forms, including jihadist terrorism. Each form of terrorism is fought with a specific strategy. Based on the original texts of jihadist strategists as well as on their own analyses of attacks in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, Jacques Baud explains the reasons for Western failure. He uses the analyses of Western intelligence services to decipher the mechanisms of jihadist terrorism, in order to extract strategies of action likely to avoid it or to fight it effectively and durably. The author is a former head of Swiss strategic intelligence and former head of UN peace operations doctrine. In the course of his missions in Africa and Central Asia, the author has had several encounters with jihadists in the field. 
  This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.

  World War I is infamous for revolutionizing modern warfare as we know it. 
  It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come.  
  However, there is much more to World War I than Franz Ferdinand’s assassination and the clash of the Entente and Central Powers. It was a conflict deeply rooted in hateful rivalries of the world’s most powerful states and came as a somewhat logical conclusion to the endless balancing and political maneuvering of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it would change the course of history forever.  
  This audiobook will dive into the Great War, exploring what caused it, how it unfolded, and its short- and long-term consequences. Here are some of the things you will learn about in this audiobook:  
  The long nineteenth century and how it affected the political landscapeGermany and Italy’s unification The state of European power politics New technological advancements that shaped the war The Austro-Hungarian problem and the start of WWI Military activities in all theaters of the war

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Explore the disturbing psychology that enables regular people to participate in atrocities, abuse, and crimes they would have considered unimaginable before circumstances aligned to make the unthinkable possible. This challenging audiobook examines how situational factors, authority structures, group dynamics, and incremental escalation transform ordinary individuals into perpetrators of extraordinary harm. Learn from historical analysis, psychological research, and criminal case studies how genocides, torture programs, and mass violence depend on regular people following orders, conforming to groups, or gradually escalating across moral boundaries. The narrator reveals the specific conditions that predict when normal people will commit abnormal acts and why believing yourself immune to such conditions is itself a risk factor. Discover how perpetrators rationalize their actions during and after crimes through psychological mechanisms available to everyone including you. Understand why focusing on individual evil distracts from the systemic factors that reliably produce harmful behavior regardless of who fills available roles. This audiobook draws from Holocaust research, prison studies, and criminal psychology to illuminate the human capacity for cruelty that comfortable circumstances allow us to ignore. Learn what conditions prevented some individuals from participating in collective crimes and what factors strengthened resistance. Essential listening for anyone who wants honest understanding of human nature including its darkest possibilities and how ordinary life can transform into participation in evil.

  A gentle, profound, and accessible path to transforming depression at its roots. 
   
  Drawing on early Buddhist psychology, the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, and contemporary self-compassion research, Tim Desmond shows how depression grows from patterns of self-criticism, shame, and learned helplessness, as well as how these patterns can be transformed with clarity and tenderness. 
   
  Each short chapter offers a concrete practice, from recognizing the energy of difficult emotions in the body to cultivating the small joys and connections that strengthen resilience. Interwoven with teachings on loving-awareness, impermanence, and nurturing wholesome mental formations, the book supports a shift in how listeners hold themselves and their experience. 
   
  For anyone seeking depression recovery through authentic Buddhist practice—not just Buddhist-flavored therapy—this is a rare resource of hope.

  Jim Garrison (1921-1992) was the District Attorney of Orleans Parish, Louisiana, from 1962 to 1973. He is best known for his investigations into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Garrison was able to subpoena the Zapruder film from Life magazine. As a result, the American public was able to see the film for the first time. Garrison made the case that the Kennedy assassination was too complex to be carried out by Oswald alone. Later, he was played by Kevin Costner in Oliver Stone's 1991 feature film, "JFK." This recording is part of a speech he gave on the assassination.

  Gold Medal Award Winner, 2026 Illumination Book Awards  
  Here is a gripping analysis of the brutal landscape of the criminal justice system, as well as an ode to the richly complex interior lives of people struggling to become free. 
  Dustin Feddon, a Catholic priest, and founder of Joseph House in Florida, tells it like it is, taking the listener with him on his journey, capturing the heart-wrenching realities of those incarcerated, yet bearing witness to the transcendent love manifest among those the state calls “the worst of the worst.” 
  The juxtaposition of an unforgiving justice system and the extraordinary mercy of everyday people is a revelation. From encountering men on death row and witnessing a barbaric execution, to founding a community dedicated to restoring the dignity of formerly incarcerated persons, Father Dustin brings the listener along as he discovers his passion and purpose. Over time, he asks whether spaces could be created that would be the antithesis of confinement dorms, welcoming people called prisoners back into the human family, re-affirming their dignity. His answer, and that of the people of Joseph House, is yes, yes, and yes. 
  All author royalties will go to support the work of Joseph House.
