The following is the audio track for the 1945 propaganda film released by the US Army Air Forces discussing the development of Boeing B-29 bomber, an American four-engined propeller-driven heavy bomber, designed by Boeing and flown primarily by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. The B-29 was designed for high-altitude strategic bombing, but also excelled in low-altitude night incendiary bombing and in dropping naval mines to blockade Japan. B-29s dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only aircraft ever to drop nuclear weapons in combat.

A long-kept secret is revealed long after the battlefield death of a beloved and courageous West Point army officer in the Vietnam War. His young widow, in an act of love, had climbed up to the treacherous north face of the Eiger in the Swiss Alps with his ashes. In the casket in which his body had returned from war, she placed beloved memorabilia of their marriage and all, except one, of the hundreds of letters he had written to her.

The United States Navy won such overwhelming victories in 1944 that, had the navy faced a different enemy, the war would have been over at the conclusion of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. However, in the moment of victory on 25 October 1944, the US Navy found itself confronting a frightening enemy that had been unimaginable until it appeared. The kamikaze, 'divine wind' in Japanese, was something Americans were totally unprepared for – a shocking violation of every belief held in the West.

L'Europe apprend avec consternation l'assassinat de l'archiduc François-Ferdinand à Sarajevo. Car le vieil empereur d'Autriche-Hongrie, François-Joseph, veut punir cet attentat pour rétablir l'honneur de son empire en déclin. Ainsi débute ce terrible mois de juillet, où se noue jour après jour l'invraisemblable crise diplomatique qui va conduire à une guerre que pourtant personne ne souhaite.

Brought to you by Penguin. For nearly a decade, diplomats, spies, and soldiers around the world have reported sudden, devastating neurological injuries—symptoms eerily consistent with exposure to a directed energy weapon. Victims were told their illnesses were “psychosomatic.” Government...

Fort Knox is one of those rare phrases that has escaped its physical boundaries and entered everyday language. It is spoken casually, often without thought, as a shorthand for something impenetrable, something absolute. To say that something is “as safe as Fort Knox” is to suggest that it is beyond reach, beyond threat, beyond question. Yet the reality behind this familiar expression is far more grounded, far more human, and far more structured than the myth allows. Fort Knox is not an ancient fortress shaped by centuries of siege and legend.

Benjamin Franklin was more than a Founding Father. He was America’s first hacker. He was a printer, a scientist, a diplomat, and a self-made myth who rewired the world long before the Constitution was even an idea. In FRANKLIN: The Man Who Bottled Lightning, JJ pulls back the curtain on the real Franklin. The storm-chaser, the system-builder, and the charm weapon in a fur hat. This isn’t the wise old man on the $100 bill. This is the sharp-tongued runaway who crashed empires, invented solutions, won over nations, and made rebellion sound reasonable.

Council: A Circle for Veterans and Brotherhood explores the powerful tradition of council—where veterans gather in a circle, speak honestly, and listen with respect. Many warriors leave military service missing something deeply important: the brotherhood that once existed within their unit. The mission ends, the uniform comes off, and the circle of men who understood them often disappears.

Kaddish for my Father, Flowers for my Mother is not just a testament to the remarkable lives of the author’s parents, Holocaust survivors Rosa and Gershon Lewkowicz. It’s a warning at a time of rising intolerance around the world. Through courage and luck, they were among the tiny fraction of Poland’s three million Jews to survive Hitler’s industrial-scale extermination program. During six years of Nazi occupation they faced and witnessed unspeakable cruelties. Losing their entire families.

In January of 1943, fourteen-year-old Basha Anush and her family were dragged from their home in Pruzhany, Poland by Nazi troops and shipped off to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp. Within days, five members of her family would be dead and she would be subjected to two-and-a-half years of abuse, a death march into Germany, and months of roaming with other homeless girls when the Third Reich collapsed.

Before cannons shook city walls and before railways moved armies, strategy was already taking shape. In Ancient Military Strategies, you will enter the battlefields of the ancient world—not as a spectator, but as a decision maker. Across land, river, and sea, early civilizations developed systems of warfare that still shape military thinking today. You will hear how irrigation disputes created organized armies, how disciplined formations neutralized superior numbers, how rivers became strategic lifelines, and how deception exploited belief and misbelief. This audiobook does not dramatize war.

Solomon Northup's story did not end with freedom. It continues in memory, movement, and meaning. Hope Out of Darkness chronicles the remarkable journey of a monumental bronze statue created to honor Solomon Northup--the free Black man kidnapped into slavery whose memoir, Twelve Years a Slave, awakened a nation. More than a sculpture, the statue became a living witness, traveling hundreds of miles to the very places that shaped Northup's life, suffering, and resolve.

When Kevin, a young Navy Seabee, deploys to Afghanistan in 2010, he believes he’s ready for the challenge. But nothing can prepare him for the quiet weight of war—not the kind fought with bullets and bombs, but the kind that seeps into your soul through sleepless nights, endless convoys, and the constant hum of uncertainty.

The grandson of a King. The son of the Viceroy of India. Churchill's nephew. Held captive at the notorious Colditz prisoner of war camp, they were the Prominente: scions of the British establishment, and pawns in the hands of Nazi leaders. As a German defeat loomed, the SS head of the POW camps...

Anne Frank, it has been said, gave a face and a name to the horror of the Holocaust. This is her story. It relates how Anne, her family, and their friends hid in secret rooms - "the Annex" - in an Amsterdam warehouse for 25 months. Anne, just 13 when the family moved in and only 15 when the Gestapo at last broke down the doors of her secret world, found hope where there was only fear and the first blush of love when outside and all around there washed a sea of hate.

2025年は広島・長崎が核攻撃を受けて80年となる。この人類的な悲劇を背景に「核のタブー」が生み出されてきた。

The Third Reich cast a long shadow, not least over those born in Germany at that time. Whether the children of Nazi perpetrators or Holocaust survivors, they all had to come to terms with their dark past, based on an inhuman racial ideology. Renate was born in 1941, the daughter of an unknown SS...

For centuries, battles have determined the fate of nations, toppled empires and reshaped civilisations. In Battle, award-winning historian Iain MacGregor charts the key encounters that have shaped the evolution of warfare – from the clash of hoplite spears at Marathon and the storm of longbows at Agincourt, to the firestorms of Stalingrad and the drone warfare of modern Ukraine.
