Historia
The battle to defeat ISIS was an unremittingly brutal and dystopian struggle, a multi-sided war of gritty local commandos and militias. Mike Giglio takes listeners to the heart of this shifting, uncertain conflict, capturing the essence of a modern war. At its peak, ISIS controlled a self-styled "caliphate" the size of Great Britain, with a population cast into servitude that numbered in the millions. Its territory spread across Iraq and Syria as its influence stretched throughout the wider world.

At the heart of Africa is Congo, a country the size of Western Europe, bordering nine other nations, that since 1996 has been wracked by a brutal and unstaunchable war in which millions have died. And yet, despite its epic proportions, it has received little sustained media attention. In this deeply reported book, Jason K. Stearns vividly tells the story of this misunderstood conflict through the experiences of those who engineered and perpetrated it.

Drawing on period letters and chronicles, and on the papers of the Virginia Company - which financed the settlement of Jamestown - David Price tells a tale of cowardice and courage, stupidity and brilliance, tragedy and costly triumph. He takes us into the day-to-day existence of the English men and women whose charge was to find gold and a route to the Orient, and who found, instead, hardship and wretched misery. Death, in fact, became the settlers' most faithful companion, and their infighting was ceaseless.

When Phil Klay left the marines a decade ago after serving as an officer in Iraq, he found himself a part of the community of veterans who have no choice but to grapple with the meaning of their wartime experiences—for themselves and for the country. American identity has always been bound up in war—from the revolutionary war of our founding, to the civil war that ended slavery, to the two world wars that launched America as a superpower. What did the current wars say about who we are as a country, and how should we respond as citizens?

Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war—and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences.

The Viking Age - from 750 to 1050 saw an unprecedented expansion of the Scandinavian peoples into the wider world. As traders and raiders, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to the Asian steppe. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, distorted to suit the tastes of medieval clerics and Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian imperialists, Nazis, and more. None of these appropriations capture the real Vikings, or the richness and sophistication of their culture.

When Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009, Browder cast aside his business career and made it his life’s mission to pursue justice for Sergei. One of the first steps of that mission was to uncover who had killed Sergei and profited from the $230 million corruption scheme that he had exposed. As Browder and his team tracked the money that flowed out of Russia—through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas—they discovered that Vladimir Putin himself was one of the beneficiaries of the crime.

As a senior non-commissioned officer of Delta Force, the most elite and secretive special operations unit in the US military, Command Sergeant Major Tom Satterly fought some of this country's most fearsome enemies. Tom is a legend even among other Tier One special operators. Yet the enemy that cost him three marriages, and ruined his health physically and psychologically, existed in his brain. Told through Satterly's firsthand experiences, it also weaves in the reasons for his career-long battle against the most insidious enemy of all: post-traumatic stress.

In this bold examination of the Israeli-American relationship, Walter Russell Mead demolishes the myths that both pro-Zionists and anti-Zionists have fostered over the years. He makes clear that Zionism has always been a divisive subject in the American Jewish community, and that American Christians have often been the most fervent supporters of a Jewish state, citing examples from the time of J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller to the present day.

With vivid story-telling, extensive historical research, and on-the-ground reporting, Ghattas dispels accepted truths about a region she calls home. She explores how Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shia Iran, once allies and twin pillars of US strategy in the region, became mortal enemies after 1979. She shows how they used and distorted religion in a competition that went well beyond geopolitics. Feeding intolerance, suppressing cultural expression, and encouraging sectarian violence from Egypt to Pakistan, the war for cultural supremacy led to many events.

Jean McConville's abduction was one of the most notorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a climate of fear and paranoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on a beach. McConville's children knew it was their mother when they were told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress--with so many kids, she had always kept it handy for diapers or ripped clothes.

Resumen del Editor
James Verini arrived in Iraq in the summer of 2016 to write about life in the Islamic State. He stayed to cover the jihadis' last great stand, the Battle of Mosul, not knowing it would go on for nearly a year, nor that it would become, in the words of the Pentagon, "the most significant urban combat since WWII."
They Will Have to Die Now takes the listener into the heart of the conflict against the most lethal insurgency of our time. We see unspeakable violence, improbable humanity, and occasional humor. We meet an Iraqi major fighting his way through the city with a bad leg; a general who taunts snipers; an American sergeant who removes his glass eye to unnerve his troops; a pair of Moslawi brothers who welcomed the Islamic State, believing, as so many Moslawis did, that it might improve their shattered lives. Verini also relates the rich history of Iraq, and of Mosul, one of the most beguiling cities in the Middle East.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Ray Porter’s forceful narration heightens the propulsive quality of Verini’s writing, while also highlighting the general and enduring absurdities of war." (The New York Times Book Review)

Determined to offer an unfiltered version of events, the Washington Post's Anthony Shadid was neither embedded with soldiers nor briefed by politicians. Because he is fluent in Arabic, Shadid, an Arab-American born and raised in Oklahoma, was able to actually disappear into the divided, dangerous worlds of Iraq. Day by day, as American dreams clashed with Arab notions of justice, he pieced together the human story of ordinary Iraqis weathering the terrible dislocations and tragedies of war.

Ackerman then draws the shape of the Euphrates River on a large piece of paper, and his one-time adversary quickly joins him in the game of filling in the map.

Historia
Using humor, pop culture, and even musical references, Michael Friedman re-creates the wartime experience in a narrative that is part memoir, part journalism, part military history. The years in question were pivotal ones, seeing the perfection of a type of warfare that would eventually be exported to Afghanistan and Iraq and has come to seem like the only kind of warfare in existence - wars in which there is never any clear victory, but not quite enough lives are lost to rally the country against it.

Elliot Ackerman left the American military ten years ago, but his time in Afghanistan and Iraq with the Marines and later as a CIA paramilitary officer marked him indelibly. When the Taliban began to close in on Kabul in August 2021 and the Afghan regime began its death spiral, he found himself pulled back into the conflict. Afghan nationals who had worked closely with the American military and intelligence communities for years now faced brutal reprisal and sought frantically to flee the country with their families.

Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, we witness the chain of events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, continued with the attacks of 9/11, and moved on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Forever War allows us a visceral understanding of today's battlefields and of the experiences of the people on the ground, warriors and innocents alike. It is a brilliant, fearless work, not just about America's wars after 9/11, but ultimately about the nature of war itself.

Sgt. Steve Maharidge, like many of his generation, hardly ever talked about the war. The only sign he'd served in it was a single black and white photograph of himself and another soldier tacked to the wall of his basement workshop. After Steve Maharidge's death, his son Dale, now an adult, began a 12-year quest to understand his father's preoccupation with the photo. What had happened during the battle for Okinawa, and why had his father remained silent about his experiences and the man in the picture, Herman Mulligan? In his search for answers, Maharidge sought out the survivors of Love Company.

Jean McConville's abduction was one of the most notorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a climate of fear and paranoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on a beach. McConville's children knew it was their mother when they were told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress--with so many kids, she had always kept it handy for diapers or ripped clothes.

By the time they made it home, three soldiers had been killed in action, a dozen more had lost limbs, and an astonishing half of the company had Purple Hearts. In the decade since, two of the soldiers have died by suicide, more than a dozen have tried, and others admit they’ve considered it. Written with an insider’s eye and ear and drawing on extensive interviews and original reporting, Bravo Company follows the men from their initial enlistment on.

In White Rural Rage, Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman explore why rural Whites have failed to reap the benefits from their outsize political power and why, as a result, they are the most likely group to abandon democratic norms and traditions.

In the end, we won the war, but we lost the peace. The Flock surrendered and spent the next two hundred years making reparations, indentured to humanity, doing everything humans did not want to do. And the evolved super soldiers were consigned to an endless sleep. Ready if ever needed, but in time they became myths. Abandoned and forgotten.

Best narrarated book I've ever heard
I listen to a lot of audio books, and this was by far the best narrarated one I've heard. The story itself is enthralling (though graphic, so skip if you're squeamish) and emotional, and the combination of a fantastically written book and expert narraration is unbeatable. Strongly recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about the rise of ISIS, Iraqi history, and the Battle for Mosul.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I was very interested in the in depth, deep historical information that was presented. Some of the details were gory but true to a combat zone. The relationships, interactions and dialogues were fascinating and gave a personal dimension to the storyline.

Personal and informative thru a great performance.
Porters performance felt natural, yet captivating, with energy and an astonishing array of voices for the characters that Verini encountered. Verini delivers a great balance of historical background and personal experiences to enlighten the reader of the very real world that many people endure but most Americans cannot fathom.
I had to listen to the whole book a second time before I was ready to consider starting another book.

Great history told engagingly
As a resident of Baghdad since mid-2020 I thoroughly enjoyed this account of the events that preceded my arrival only a few years, and that deeply affected my work colleagues. I'm grateful to James Verini for putting time into researching and recounting the history of Mosul and the groups involved, and explaining it in the horrible context he experienced. The narration was a little too dramatic for my taste, at times almost sarcastic and condescending, but perhaps that's what Verini felt too. Whilst Verlini is mostly respectful of the Iraqis, who are really delightful people, and also appropriately disparaging of America's recent engagements here, I felt a slight disrespect for Islam and the Arab world throughout. This is absent from, for example, Tim Mackintosh Smith's wonderful book simply called "Arabs", which I highly recommend (better in.print I think). No doubt Verini's first hand experience of the violence of the ISIS caliphate influenced his focus on violence throughout the history of Mosul, but it's obviously not the defining characteristic of those periods of history in that town.

Great Read
Excellent history of the defeat of ISIS in Mosul, Iraq in 2016. The author displays deep insight into causes of the recent conflict. Although many of my veteran friends who have read the book thinks the author disrespects the American military, I disagree. There is no doubt however, that our foreign policy in the region was disastrous. Of course, our misadventures in the Middle East didn’t start with the “War on Terror “. The book gives a summary of the West’s mistakes, including Pico-Sykes and the Balfour Declaration. In addition, the book does a good job in describing the history of Mosul and ancient civilizations including the Assyrian.
Missing from the book was the destruction of the monastery of St Elijah by ISIS in 2014. As a Medical Corps Army officer in Mosul in 2007, the visit to that 1400 year old Christian church was profound.
Bottom line, an excellent read that I’d highly recommend.

A must read
This should be required reading for all Americans. The author brings you into this tortured country brought down by American arrogance and we get to know and feel real people suffering though this “end of times”

really solid performance keeps you engaged
as with any book about a battle, it's hard to see the map in your head. the author does a reasonable job of explaining it in words, but it doesn't lend itself easily to the audio format, as it's not so easy to pace yourself differently when necessary to take in those geography information dumps that happen periodically.
but the performer does a good job of using slightly different, and not offensively overdone accents to help you in understand who is speaking during the dialogue.
Listening tip: the author follows a couple families and a few commanders through the whole book. take the time to make sure you know who he's talking about when he introduces new characters, as he's going to follow them again later.
don't worry too too much if you have a hard time keeping track of the map or the characters... the stories are powerful enough to experience even without it.
I really appreciated the historical summary, and the discussion about the diversity of opinion among the different groups involved in the conflict and the politics. it meshes with other books I've read about the Islamic state's although the author does not present himself as an expert on Islam, islamism, or jihadism. he does a good job of hitting the key bits of those elements so you have what you need to understand the players.
finally, I have to complement the author's writing. he uses English to its fullest. he's comfortable with profanity and eryudite language, and everything in between. it helps him to translate not only the meaning of his arabic speaking subjects, but also to approximate their voices as if they were native English speakers. his character sketches are well done, but he gives a voice to each character... and in the case of both Omar and Aya, the change in voice helps their character arcs, which helps really drive the whole narrative. well done.

Excellent story of people and history
Really liked it at first. Kind of dragged a little later. Great human stories and great history. I had just finished a book on Vietnam by Max Hastings and man, this book, telling the same type story. differnt location. youd think the west would learn. It's an eternal, internal, conflict. No westerner is going to help.
