The highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa is at it again. A quarter century ago, in his international bestseller Red Horizons, Pacepa exposed the massive crimes and corruption of his former boss, Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, giving the dictator a nervous breakdown and inspiring him to send assassination squads to the U.S. to find his former spy chief and kill him. They failed.

I don’t believe all of it, but intriguing perspective nonetheless. Learned a lot of history.

Widely respected as a civil libertarian, legal educator, and defense attorney extraordinaire, Alan M. Dershowitz has also been a passionate though not uncritical supporter of Israel. In this audiobook, he presents an ardent defense of Israel's rights, supported by indisputable evidence. Dershowitz takes a close look at what Israel's accusers and detractors are saying about this war-torn country. He accuses those who attack Israel of international bigotry and backs up his argument with hard facts.

Intelligent reach, confirms many of my intuitions about this conflict. Sadly, the book is over 20 years old and the same issues persist.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 243
The Palestinian Delusion is unique in situating the Israeli/Palestinian conflict within the context of the global jihad that has found renewed impetus in the latter portion of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. Briskly recounting the tumultuous history of the "peace process", Robert Spencer demonstrates that the determination of diplomats, policymakers, and negotiators to ignore this aspect of the conflict has led the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the world down numerous blind alleys. This has often only exacerbated, rather than healed, this conflict.

As a pro-democracy atheist, I very much appreciate the bold candor on this book. I looked into a bunch of the references and haven’t found any errors.

In Brainwashing, Kathleen Taylor brings the worlds of neuroscience and social psychology together for the first time. In elegant and accessible prose, and with abundant use of anecdotes and case-studies, she examines the ethical problems involved in carrying out the required experiments on humans, the limitations of animal models, and the frightening implications of such research. She also explores the history of thought-control and reveals how it persists all around us, from marketing and television to politics and education.

Great overview
Revisado: 02-13-23
Great overview of this topic. Unfortunately, the reader’s voice is quite angry and hurt my ears. I just imagined her grumpy face the whole time… A more neutral inflection would have been more pleasant.

Cheap. It's a dirty word laden with negative meanings. It is also the story of Lauren Weber's life. As a child, she resented her father for keeping the heat at 50 degrees through the frigid winters and rarely using his car's turn signals - to keep them from burning out. But as an adult, she found herself walking 30 blocks to save $2 on subway fare. In Cheap We Trust teases out the meanings of cheapness and examines the wisdom and pleasures of not spending every last penny.

Learn how to pronounce "Keynes" and "obsolescence"
Revisado: 04-01-18
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, if they know little about this topic.
What did you like best about this story?
I didn't learn a whole lot since this book doesn't go very deep, but I hadn't known about the black market that sprung up during WWII rationing which would be an interesting topic for a book in and of itself.
How could the performance have been better?
Marguerite Gavin needs to learn how to pronounces "Keynes" (as in John Maynard Keynes) and "obsolescence" (as in planned obsolescence). It makes me cringe each time I hear this woman say "keens" and "obsoleasance". Ugh!!!! Her fake British accent when reading the Keynes' quotation is pretty terrible, too. :-(
Keynes was one of the greatest economists of all time whose ideas dug the United States out of the Great Depression. The pronunciation of his name is common knowledge, as is the pronunciation of the word "obsolescence." I don't understand why Gildan Media neglected to fix these glaring errors.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The content is just okay, not really a joy but not really a waste since I did learn a couple things.
