For as long as historical records have existed, authoritarian regimes have tried to rewrite history to suit their purposes, using their dictatorial powers to create myths, spread propaganda, justify decisions, erase opponents, and even dispose of crimes. Today, as America’s Republican Party becomes increasingly radicalized, it’s not surprising to see the GOP read from a similarly despotic script. Indeed, the party is taking dangerous, aggressive steps to rewrite history—and not just from generations past.

Brilliant recounting of the Trump Administration’s propaganda, with receipts.

Rachel Maddow reads Benen’s well-sourced telling of the worst of Trump world’s propaganda. No matter how closely you follow domestic politics, you’ll enjoy Ministry of Truth.

Douglas W. Tallamy's first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of individuals to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In this new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 48
A book that strikes at the heart of the recent flare-ups over Confederate symbols in Charlottesville, New Orleans, and elsewhere, Denmark Vesey's Garden reveals the deep roots of these controversies and traces them to the heart of slavery in the United States: Charleston, South Carolina, where almost half of the US slave population stepped onto our shores, where the first shot at Fort Sumter began the Civil War, and where Dylann Roof shot nine people at Emanuel A.M.E. Church, the congregation of Denmark Vesey, a black revolutionary who plotted a massive slave insurrection.

Excellent history of slavery and reconstruction in Charleston, SC
Revisado: 02-14-23
the authors did a great job of providing a history of race- and whitewashing- in Charleston, SC. I’ve lived here almost 30 years, but I learned so many things from this book.
The narrator has a great voice, and performed it well. However, Charleston has so many unique pronunciations the narrator got wrong. It should really be edited to correctly pronounce Huger, Maczyk, Clementa, Gaillard, Simons, Legare…and a few others I can’t remember.

How to build and live a sustainable life on your property and in your garden without having to hire an expensive contractor, even if you have no idea on what permaculture is. Permaculture is about designing sustainable human settlements. It is a philosophy and an approach to land use which weaves together micro-climate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, water management, and human needs into intricately connected productive communities. Permaculture is designing a system that uses nature as a tool to provide year-round food and shelter.

Choppy narrator
Revisado: 12-02-22
I can’t evaluate the book itself, as the narrator’s performance is so choppy it’s hard to follow.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 245
In this taut inquiry, Posner digs deep into the radical history of the religious right to reveal how issues of race and xenophobia have always been at the movement’s core, and how religion often cloaked anxieties about perceived threats to a white, Christian America. Fueled by an antidemocratic impulse, and united by this narrative of reverse victimization, the religious right and the alt-right support a common agenda.

Christian Nationalism threatens our Democracy. Posner clearly lays out the history of the movement. The narrator is a pleasure to listen to.

As an adult, Lauren Hough has had many identities: an airman in the US Air Force, a cable guy, a bouncer at a gay club. As a child, however, she had none. Growing up as a member of the infamous cult The Children of God, Hough had her own self robbed from her. The cult took her all over the globe - to Germany, Japan, Texas, Chile - but it wasn't until she finally left for good that Lauren understood she could have a life beyond "The Family."

Hough tells a series of stories about her life from cult to cable guy and beyond. It’s simultaneously heartbreaking and beautiful.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 82
In 2009, the Good News Club came to the public elementary school where journalist Katherine Stewart sent her children. The Club, which is sponsored by the Child Evangelism Fellowship, bills itself as an after-school program of "Bible study." But Stewart soon discovered that the Club's real mission is to convert children to fundamentalist Christianity and encourage them to proselytize to their "unchurched" peers, all the while promoting the natural but false impression among the children that its activities are endorsed by the school.

Excellent writing - narrator problematic
Revisado: 08-05-16
Where does The Good News Club rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Excellent book. To the uninformed masses, the Good News Club, which inserts after-school evangelism in public schools, is a harmless expression of First Amendment Rights. Stewart, through her extensive research, shows that the GNC is, in fact, a Christian Nationalist organization that believes that most Christian adherents - Catholics, Presbyterians, and Methodists, to name a few, are going to Hell. GNC seeks to evangelize children ages 5- 14, even against their parents' own religons. Their deceptive practices are detailed in the book.
What didn’t you like about Joyce Feurring’s performance?
Ms. Feurring mis-pronounces numerous words, which is jarring! She mis-prounounced "Taoism" (Supreme Court Justice)"Scalia" and "ruse."
