British History of the 1980s

Any additional comments?
This five hour audio download from Audible Books covers Great Britain during the 1980s. It combines light narration with an abundance of old recordings (mostly interviews, news broadcasts, and speeches) into a quick historical overview of the decade. Loosely strung together by subject, not chronological order, the classic 80???s sound bites offer a colorful sample of past years on the other side of the pond. However, it lacked a serious assessment of the positive and negative effects of the major reforms and policy shifts during the ???Thatcher years,??? a somewhat stunning omission. The tendency of this work to favor the opinions of common football rioters, labor unionists, and left-wing demonstrators, over law enforcement, senior leaders, and historical analysts leaves it lacking depth and feeling rather myopic.

Somalia, on the tip of the Horn of Africa, has been inhabited as far back as 9,000 BC. Its history is as rich as the country is old. Caught up in a decades-long civil war, Somalia, along with Iraq and Afghanistan, has become one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Getting there is a 45-hour, five-flight voyage through Frankfurt, Dubai, Djibouti, Bosaso (on the Gulf of Aden), and, finally, Galkayo. Somalia is a place where a government has been built out of anarchy.
