Few journalists working today have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few understand him and his motivations better. Now, demonstrating her majestic command of this story, Haberman reveals in full the depth of her understanding of the 45th president himself, and of what the Trump phenomenon means.

The Doomsday Machine is Ellsberg's hair-raising insider's account of the most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization, whose legacy - and renewal under the Obama administration - threatens the very survival of humanity. It is scarcely possible to estimate the true dangers of our present nuclear policies without penetrating the secret realities of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, when Ellsberg had high-level access to them.

If you like this book, then check out One Second After by William R. Forstchen. I rarely read/listen to fiction, but both books offer valuable information to help plan for the apocalypse 😉

In Killing a Messiah, New Testament scholar Adam Winn weaves together stories of historical and fictional characters in a fresh reimagining of the events leading up to Jesus's execution. Based on what we know of the first-century context, Winn's narrative offers compelling explanations for gaps in the Gospel accounts. The social, political, and religious realities of Jesus's world come to life and shed new light on our reading of the biblical texts. In a city full of political entanglements, espionage, and competing interests, the blame for the crucifixion is complex.

A PhD in New Testament theology turns his attention to historical fiction!
Winn weaves the traditional Biblical narrative of Christ’s crucifixion with plot lines for Caiaphas, Pilot and many others. To that end, Jesus is somehow both central and respectfully ancillary in Killing A Messiah. Conversely, there is no evangelical “hard sell” at the end (or anywhere within) that those of other faiths—or even non-faith—would hope to avoid.
Nor is this book an attempt to "make learning fun" with heavy or boring detours. Rather, Killing a Messiah is compelling fiction that preserves a sacred text in the background. Without giving too much away, I was especially excited that Killing A Messiah does not end predictably considering what is perhaps common knowledge of Easter.
I listen to ~25 books per year, typically at 1.35x speed. Foster's narration is among the best in both tempo and dynamic range such that I listened at real-time. He drives the story forward confidently without distraction.
