  How Did North Korea's Leader...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A crowded international airport. Two young women. One deadly mission. And a man who never saw it coming. 
  On February 13, 2017, the brother of one of the world's most feared dictators was killed in broad daylight at Kuala Lumpur International Airport — not by trained assassins in the shadows, but by two ordinary women who believed they were filming a prank video. What unfolded was one of the most chilling, meticulously engineered political assassinations of the twenty-first century. 
  How Did North Korea's Leader Assassinate His Own Brother? is a propulsive, deeply researched true crime narrative that pulls back the curtain on the dark machinery of authoritarian power. With the precision of an investigative journalist and the tension of a political thriller, Adrian Wolfe reconstructs every layer of this extraordinary case — from the Kim dynasty's brutal grip on North Korea, to the psychological manipulation of two vulnerable young women, to the nerve agent that left no room for survival. 
  This is a story about power and its ruthless cost. About how desperate dreams make the perfect weapon. About a family dynasty that will silence anyone — even blood — to protect its throne. And about a justice system forced to choose between the truth and political convenience. 
  Gripping, infuriating, and impossible to stop listening to, this audiobook moves at the pace of a thriller while anchored in verified fact. Each chapter deepens the moral horror and raises the stakes — not just for the individuals involved, but for what this assassination reveals about the world we live in today. 
  Listen if you dare — because the truth is more terrifying than any fiction.

  Sovok - The Memoirs of a Liar?

  Kevin McKinney

  Witness first-hand the transition from Soviet Union to liberated Russia and its return to a regime of tyranny and injustice from the perspective of a foreigner who lived through it. McKinney describes his interactions for over twenty years with dissidents, billionaires, artists, cosmonauts, mob bosses, presidents, prosecutors, and prime ministers, while constantly breaking laws and bending rules, as mostly every character in the book also does. He introduces some of the most dangerous, loyal, and hospitable people, and often they're one in the same person. 
  Described by one literary critic as "Jack Kerouac, narrating the adventures of Thomas Pynchon's character, Tyrone Slothrop, only in Russia," Sovok takes you on a front-row view of the transition from Soviet Union to liberated Russia and then how it went back to today's tyranny. 
  If a movie plot, it would be a blend of Grand Hotel Budapest, Wolf of Wall Street, Bonfire of the Vanities, Snatch, Eastern Promises, and Everything is Illuminated. By declaring himself a liar, the author prods the reader to question everyone and everything. Through personal stories, one of Sovok's central themes is that a network of loyal and moral friends can circumvent the strictest government regulations and defeat criminal syndicates. Sovok falls into one or a dozen categories of book. The one category it is not is ordinary. 
  "Everything is so realistic that is seems invented," - Italy 
  "The impression is incredible. I feel like I'm in reading science fiction, yet I am one of the characters. Events are described not as I knew them, but completely differently. It's as if the author saw them from a different angle, and that the author's angle is truer than the distorted view I saw them from. This is the best thing I've read in many years." - Ukraine 
  "I am totally, completely, absolutely and entirely fascinated. The things you write about are so well familiar to me. I love it." - Russia

  What's Been Broken Is All the...

  I am not the woman who destroyed a celebrated professor's career - he did that himself. 
  For more than a decade, Dr Yoo Young Dominique Lee lived two lives. To the world, she was everything a cancer specialist was meant to be - competent, composed, admired. But beneath the polished surface was a traumatised woman barely surviving each day.  
  In 2013, a respected oncology professor drugged and sexually assaulted Dominique when she was a trainee doctor. He was later charged, 
  pleaded guilty, and went to jail. His name was made public. Hers was not. 
  Until now. 
  What's Been Broken Is All the More Sharp is the story of the woman behind the headlines - her trauma, her silence, and what it cost her to stay in a profession where everyone seemed to know what happened to her but didn't actually know her. It is not just a retelling of the assault, but an unflinching exploration of who she was before and what follows: the disorientation, the shame, the crushing invisibility, and the long, unpredictable arc of recovery. 
  Told with clarity and courage, Dominique's story is a testament to survival, an offering to those experiencing similar trauma, and a reminder that the secret for surviving is the people who offer grace and kindness in even the darkest of times. 
  This is not a story about a man 
  who abused his power. 
  It is the story of a woman reclaiming hers.

  Watergate: The Scandal That...

  Editors Charles River

  Increasingly and mistakenly viewed as a single scandal within the United States government, what is commonly referred to as the Watergate scandal serves as an overarching term for a series of scandals beginning in 1971 and extending through 1974, although more than any other, it refers to the specific break-in at the Watergate Hotel and office complex in Washington, D.C. The crisis, originating in a secretive battle between the two major political parties, the Nixon White House’s paranoia, and the ensuing conflict concerning the release of confidential information to the public, induced senior government officials into committing crimes (most notoriously petty burglary) and coverups for the purposes of character assassination and inter-political espionage, and it ultimately resulted in the first and only resignation of a sitting American president, Richard Milhous Nixon. Watergate has since become so synonymous with scandal that “gate” is typically added to the end of words associated with scandals even today. 
  	In the wake of the seemingly peculiar burglary, gradual media and judicial pursuits of the thread of scandals led from one thing to another over the following years until it began to culminate with Congressional impeachment proceedings and a momentous showdown between the President and the Supreme Court over the release of presidential tapes, a moment in which Nixon seriously considered defying the Court and initiating a constitutional crisis. When he at last surrendered them, excerpts were blatantly missing, most famously an 18 minute stretch. Given the flurry of activities, it has only been in recent years that historians have gained a full measure of the nation’s perilous status during the intense battle between the various branches of the federal government, and the American public’s view of government in general took a decidedly negative turn.
