Sinopsis

"Daring Raids" explores the high-stakes world of military incursions throughout history, examining the strategic brilliance and inherent perils of these operations. It dissects raid tactics, from small ambushes to large-scale special operations, and analyzes the decision-making processes involved. The book highlights how raids, often perceived as reckless gambles, require a thorough understanding of the operational environment and a realistic risk assessment.

For instance, the success of a raid often hinges not only on tactical proficiency but also on the ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, making risk management vital. The book uniquely examines military raids through the lens of risk management, applying principles from fields like finance and engineering to improve planning and execution. It traces the evolution of raid tactics from ancient times to modern warfare, emphasizing the influence of technological innovations.

By contrasting successful raids with disastrous ones, "Daring Raids" illuminates factors contributing to each outcome, such as intelligence gathering and contingency planning. Beginning with a framework for analyzing raid effectiveness, the book progresses through historical case studies, contrasting successes and failures, and concluding with ethical considerations and long-term impacts. It's valuable for military enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering insights into the complexities of modern warfare and the enduring challenges of military leadership.

Auschwitz Children And Mengele...

Jack Stew Barretta

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Many doctors in Germany were convinced that they were the chosen people to create a healthy, racially pure Volkskörper (body of people) and by doing so, establish a racial utopia. As strong supporters of National Socialism, they welcomed the founding of the Third Reich. After Hitler acceded to power, German physicians joined the SS in particular. During the twelve years of the Nazi era, seven percent of German doctors became members of the SS. The average membership of the population was only 0.6 percent. Moreover, doctors were also overrepresented as a profession, with teachers consisting of less than half a percent and musicians only three percent. Only lawyers had a larger share in the SS than doctors.
The average income of German doctors increased extremely after 1933, even exceeding the income of lawyers. The Nazi doctors of the human experiments also joined the SS in large numbers. German doctors were far more reluctant to join the NSDAP than the SS. Before 1933, only seven percent of all German doctors joined the NSDAP (Nazi party). They joined the party when it seemed opportune to do so, in 1933, and particularly in 1937. In 1933, physicians made up almost a quarter of all academic professionals in the NSDAP. Most doctors joined the NSDAP in 1937, with a membership rate of 43 percent of the total profession. German physicians sat on the fence during the first years of the Nazi era, insecure about the effects of the new regime on their profession. By 1937, the Third Reich had won the trust of several reasons. The NSDAP had solved the economic crisis and had reorganized the medical profession. Moreover, the regime had solved “the Jewish question” in the medical sector.

Lifeline - An Elegy

Stephanie Kain

What happens when someone you love suddenly cliff-dives into mental illness? And then you discover that there may be no return?
		 
This experimental memoir reflects on the author’s intimate and complicated relationship with a woman diagnosed with suicidal depression, and the startling and chaotic new world of locked wards, heavy medications, and electroconvulsive therapy that follows.
		 
Interweaving personal essays, fragmented prose, poetry, stream-of-consciousness, and text exchanges, this collage-style book invites the reader into the mysterious world of a treatment-resistant condition and illuminates the urgency and intimacy of caring for someone with an ultimately fatal mental illness. Running through the center of the narrative is the relationship between two people whose fierce love for each other is both the tie that binds and the anchor that drowns.
		 
Lifeline is a testament to the importance of hard conversations, humor, and dignity in the face of a courageous battle for sanity; an interrogation of the flaws in the medical system; a debate on when life stops being worth living; and a conversation and reflection on what it means to love someone enough to go on without them.

Harlots Whores & Hackabouts - A...

Kat Lister

The history of selling sex is a hidden one—and too often its practitioners are pushed to the margins of history. This book redresses the balance, revealing the history of the sex trade through the eyes of sex workers, from medieval streets to Wild West saloons, and from brothels to state bedrooms. 
 
 
 
Harlots, Whores & Hackabouts' chapters are structured thematically in a broadly chronological order, each one introducing a lively cast of complex and entertaining characters operating in an array of different periods, locations, and settings. In ancient Mesopotamia, the harlot Shamhat was powerful and respected, able to civilize the wild man Enkidu through her charms. In medieval London, Elizabeth Moryng serviced religious clergy under the guise of an embroidery business, though she was eventually jailed for being a prolific panderer and bawd. In the hedonistic floating world of Edo, Japan, Kabuki actresses and geishas entertained and pleasured their patrons. Lister's engaging and illuminating tales invite listeners to look, listen, and reconsider everything they thought they knew about the world's oldest profession. Together, these captivating tales of sex workers from around the world and throughout history provide a powerful context to contemporary debates about sexuality and the empowerment of women. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
