Despite the progress we have made, women are still faced with discrimination and bias in the workplace every day. The only way to prove our capabilities is to be great leaders! Women have more challenges when it comes to leadership roles with gender bias being one of the biggest hurdles. Women are either seen as dainty, proper ladies who are too quiet to lead or as the other extreme: bossy, aggressive, and unladylike.

For two centuries, the deep-seated fear that many White people feel—of losing power, of losing economic standing, of losing a particular “way of life”—has been the driving force behind American politics and culture. And as we approach a future where White people will become a racial minority in the US, something estimated to occur as early as 2043, that fear is only intensifying, festering, and becoming more visible. Are we destined for a violent clash? What can we do to step into our country’s inevitable future, without tearing ourselves apart in the process?

Story
Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Story
Lyndon Baines Johnson was a man of great ambition and enormous greed, both of which, in 1963, would threaten to destroy him. In the end, President Johnson would use power from his personal connections in Texas and from the underworld and from the government to escape an untimely end in politics and to seize even greater power. President Johnson, the thirty-sixth president of the United States, was the driving force behind a conspiracy to murder President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. In The Man Who Killed Kennedy, you will find out how and why he did it. Political consultant, strategist, and Libertarian Roger Stone has gathered documents and used his firsthand knowledge to construct the ultimate tome to prove that LBJ was not only involved in JFK's assassination, but was in fact the mastermind. With 2013 being the fiftieth anniversary of JFK's assassination, this is the perfect time for The Man Who Killed Kennedy to be available to readers. The research and information in this book is unprecedented, and as Roger Stone lived through it, he's the perfect person to bring it to everyone's attention.

Story
The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination. Portrayed frequently in fine art and popular culture alike, the gladiator is both a real part of history and a legend of a romanticized past. We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

Story
For the past few hundred years, most of what we’ve been taught about the native cultures of North America came from reports authored by the conquerors and colonizers who destroyed them. Now - with the technological advances of modern archaeology and a new perspective on world history - we are finally able to piece together their compelling true stories. In Ancient Civilizations of North America, Professor Edwin Barnhart, Director of the Maya Exploration Center, will open your eyes to a fascinating world you never knew existed - even though you’ve been living right next to it, or even on top of it.

Good one overall
A Navy cook going from flipping eggs to taking on enemy fire at Pearl Harbor? Wild... that spy chick with the fake leg playing 4D chess with Nazis? Straight savage, and some dude snapping pics in the middle of literal concentration camps? Absolute unit lol There’s women, Black soldiers, even a crane operator at Pearl Harbor who just said, “Nah, not today, Japan.” The way they talk about their lives before and after makes it way more real, too

Inspiring audiobook !!!
American Heroes of World War II is a deeply moving and inspiring audiobook that left me in awe of the courage and resilience of ordinary individuals who accomplished extraordinary feats during one of history’s darkest periods.
What I loved most was how it spotlighted unsung heroes—people like Doris Miller and Virginia Hall, whose bravery was pivotal yet often overlooked. The detailed storytelling made each account feel personal and vivid, transporting me to the heart of their struggles and triumphs.
The diversity of the heroes featured and the range of their contributions, from battlefield valor to covert espionage, reminded me of the many ways individuals can make a difference. It’s not just a recounting of facts—it’s a celebration of human spirit and determination.
This book left me inspired and grateful for the sacrifices made by these heroes. If you’re a history enthusiast or just someone looking for stories of resilience and bravery, this is an absolute must-listen!

True Stories of Individual Bravery from the Battle
As a history enthusiast and avid reader of World War II literature, I was thoroughly impressed by Alex Viner's masterful compilation of lesser-known American heroes. What sets this book apart is its focus on the diverse array of individuals who contributed to the Allied victory, moving beyond the familiar narratives we've all heard before.
The storytelling is absolutely gripping. Viner has a remarkable talent for bringing these historical figures to life, making you feel as if you're right there with Doris Miller as he mans those anti-aircraft guns at Pearl Harbor, or shadowing Virginia Hall through the dangerous streets of occupied France. The level of research is exceptional, with details that clearly required extensive access to military records, personal correspondence, and interviews with surviving family members.
I was particularly moved by the chapter on Vernon Baker, whose Medal of Honor story exemplifies both the courage of our soldiers and the racial prejudices they had to overcome. The author doesn't shy away from addressing these complex social issues while maintaining focus on the extraordinary achievements of these remarkable individuals.
The inclusion of Lee Miller's story was especially powerful, offering a unique perspective through the lens of her camera and reminding us that heroism took many forms during the war. Her photographs of the concentration camps, as described in the book, still haunt me.
What I appreciate most is how Viner maintains historical accuracy while creating a narrative that reads like a page-turning novel. Each chapter leaves you eager to discover the next hero's story, yet also compels you to pause and reflect on their sacrifices.
This isn't just another war book – it's a vital addition to the historical record that finally gives these unsung heroes their due. If you're interested in World War II history, military biography, or simply enjoy reading about extraordinary human courage, this book is an absolute must-read.
A remarkable tribute to those who served, and a reminder that heroism knows no bounds of race, gender, or background.

Sacrifice and Bravery
American Hero of World War II is a gripping account of the men and women who have fought for freedom. Each story of the individuals who contributed to the support are interesting and individual. This is not just about the people who were in the front line of firing but everyone who supported the cause. It's stories like these who reinforce it's not the well publicized heroes who make a difference but the everyday people who are in the trenches - doing what they do best, who make a difference.

The stories of everyday Americans doing incredible things during WWII hit me hard—Doris Miller's bravery and Virginia Hall's daring missions were unforgettable. It’s inspiring and humbling to see how courage can come from anyone. Highly recommend if you want to appreciate the sacrifices that shaped history.
