Summary

In "The Fire on the Ocean: Naval War of 1812," Theodore Roosevelt immerses readers in the tumultuous maritime conflicts that defined early 19th-century America. With a compelling narrative style that blends meticulous historical detail with vivid storytelling, Roosevelt adeptly captures the heroism and strategic intricacies of naval warfare during this pivotal era. The book not only discusses famous battles and naval tactics but also contextualizes the broader implications of these events on American identity and international relations, reflecting Roosevelt's belief in the importance of naval power as a key to national strength. Theodore Roosevelt, known for his robust personality and prolific authorship, was deeply influenced by his own experiences as a soldier, politician, and conservationist. His fascination with military history and the sea stems from both a personal longing for adventure and a strategic understanding of the United States' position in global affairs. This work is a testament to Roosevelt's passion for history and his mission to inspire a sense of American exceptionalism through a nuanced understanding of its naval past. Highly recommended for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, "The Fire on the Ocean" serves as a crucial companion to the study of American naval history. Roosevelt's engaging prose and knowledgeable insights provide not just a recounting of events but a profound exploration of their significance, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of the War of 1812.

    The second installment of this saga of gangland lore follows gregarious gangster, Michael Hardy, further down his twisted criminal path. The Last Jewish Gangster, The Middle Years, starts in 1968 with Hardy sentenced to twelve years in the world’s most dangerous prison in Mexico after taking the rap for his mother’s counterfeiting scheme, hoping to have finally earned her love and respect. Once he’s released from prison, Hardy returns to Brooklyn and tries to go straight, but drifts back into a world of crime. He gets Sammy “the Bull” Gravano to join his crew to pull major heists like kidnapping drug lords for million-dollar ransoms, and robbing cop bag men. To evade the law, he goes to Europe and ends up in Israel where he works on a Kibbutz, touching the hem of his Jewish heritage. Hardy devolves further into a gangster’s life when he returns to Brooklyn, running a finger of the Mob’s Five-Fingers International Car Theft Ring, participating in a stolen airline ticket scam, and doing fourteen hits for the Mob, still hoping his mother will take notice. When she gets busted for the car theft ring, she turns him in to reduce her time. Crushed by his mother’s callous self-interest, Hardy ends up cutting a deal with Rudy Giuliani to nab a dirty cop to reduce his time and negotiate his place in the witness protection program. Relocating to LA under an alias, it doesn’t take long for Hardy to land a gig as muscle for a Hollywood studio and meet his future wife, a sex worker who stole from his mother. The lines between love and revenge begin to blur.

    Here is an extremely rare recording from the BetterListen! archives. 
Available in digitlal format for the very first time. 
Recorded in NYC in 1991, this recording reflects the wisdom, foresight and brilliance of Dr Timothy Leary. 
Timothy Leary believed that a psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is limitless, but its characteristic features are the transcendence of verbal concepts, of spacetime dimensions, and of the ego or identity. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. 
We hope you enjoy this recording and peak into one of the most interesting minds in recent history.

    Simón Bolívar, born Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar, was a prominent Venezuelan military and political leader who played a pivotal role in the liberation of several South American countries from Spanish colonial rule. Bolívar's full name, a reflection of the Spanish naming tradition, encompassed multiple middle names, highlighting his family's social status. His leadership and vision helped Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Bolivia secure their independence from the Spanish Empire during the early 19th century. 
Bolívar was born into a wealthy, aristocratic family in Caracas, Venezuela. As was customary for the sons of affluent families at the time, he was sent abroad to receive his education. Initially, he traveled to Spain and later to France, where he encountered Enlightenment ideals that deeply influenced his political and philosophical beliefs. These ideas, particularly the notions of liberty and self-determination, fueled his desire to rid Latin America of Spanish control. Bolívar’s campaign for independence began in earnest in 1808, seizing the opportunity presented by the political instability in Spain caused by the Napoleonic Wars. This chaos allowed Bolívar and other revolutionaries to push forward their independence efforts.
