  Written by a Roman emperor at the height of his power, Meditations is one of the most profound and enduring works of philosophy ever composed. In this series of deeply personal reflections, Marcus Aurelius — the last of the Five Good Emperors — examines the nature of virtue, resilience, mortality, and the importance of living in accordance with reason. 
  Originally intended as private notes to himself, Meditations offers timeless insights into Stoic philosophy and the challenges of ethical leadership. With clarity, humility, and strength, Aurelius contemplates the impermanence of life, the futility of anger, and the power of self-discipline. 
  This unabridged audiobook draws from public domain translations of Meditations, presenting Aurelius’s wisdom in accessible language while preserving the spiritual gravity and moral purpose that have inspired readers for centuries. Essential listening for anyone seeking inner peace, strength, and a guide for living well in a chaotic world.

  Since September 11, 2001, Seymour M. Hersh has riveted readers -- and outraged the Bush Administration -- with his stories in The New Yorker magazine, including his breakthrough pieces on the Abu Gharaib prison scandal. Now, in Chain of Command, he brings together this reporting, along with new revelations, to answer the critical question of the last three years: how did America get from the clear morning when hijacked airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to a divisive and dirty war in Iraq? 
  Hersh established himself at the forefront of investigative journalism thirty-five years ago when he broke the news of the massacre in My Lai, Vietnam, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. Ever since, he's challenged America's power elite by publishing the stories that others can't or won't tell. 
  In Chain of Command, Hersh takes an unflinching look behind the public story of President Bush's ""war on terror"" and into the lies and obsessions that led America into Iraq. With an introduction by The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, Chain of Command is a devastating portrait of an Administration blinded by ideology and of a President whose decisions have made the world a more dangerous place for America.

  Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (November 30, 1874 - January 24, 1965) was born in Oxfordshire, England, of mixed English and American parentage. He would become a statesman, soldier, and writer who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 -- during the Second World War -- and again from 1951 to 1955. Apart from two years between 1922 and 1924, he was a Member of Parliament from 1900 to 1964 as both a member of the Liberal Party and, later, as member and leader of the Conservative Party. Widely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures, Churchill is seen as a victorious wartime leader who played an important role in defending Europe's liberal democracy against the spread of fascism. The following recording is Churchill's historic "This was their finest hour" speech delivered to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on June 18, 1940.
