Historia
In The Unwomanly Face of War, Alexievich chronicles the experiences of the Soviet women who fought on the front lines, on the home front, and in the occupied territories. These women - more than a million in total - were nurses and doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners, and snipers. They battled alongside men, and yet, after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were forgotten.

Everyone loves a good conspiracy. Yet conspiracy theories are not a recent invention. And they are not always a harmless curiosity. In Suspicious Minds, Rob Brotherton explores the history and consequences of conspiracism, and delves into the research that offers insights into why so many of us are drawn to implausible, unproven and unproveable conspiracy theories. They resonate with some of our brain's built-in quirks and foibles, and tap into some of our deepest desires, fears, and assumptions about the world.

American society has always been fertile ground for conspiracy theories, but with the election of Donald Trump, previously outlandish ideas suddenly attained legitimacy. Trump himself is a conspiracy enthusiast: from his claim that global warming is a Chinese hoax to the accusations of “fake news”, he has fanned the flames of suspicion. But it was not by the power of one man alone that these ideas gained new power. Republic of Lies looks beyond the caricatures of conspiracy theorists to explain their tenacity.

In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris' recent best-seller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos.

"Russian influence" may have entered our national pop-consciousness in Election 2016, but it is the shiny, deceptive, contested, and buried X-factor of a century of wars in Washington. In American Betrayal, Diana West digs deep to uncover a body of lies that Americans have been led to regard as the near-sacred history of World War II and its Cold War aftermath. Part real-life thriller, part national tragedy, American Betrayal lights up the massive, Moscow-directed penetration of America's most hallowed halls of power.

In the chaos following World War II, the US government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States. Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery.

Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat? How do companies pave the way for dishonesty? Does collaboration make us more honest or less so? Does religion improve our honesty? Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune whether it's the white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports.

Religious fundamentalists and biblical literalists present any number of arguments that attempt to disprove evolution. Those with a sympathetic ear often fail to critically examine these creationist claims, leading to an ill-informed public and, perhaps more troubling, ill-advised public policy. As Aron Ra makes clear, however, every single argument deployed by creationists in their attacks on evolution is founded on fundamental scientific, religious, and historical falsehoods - all of them.

Offering mind-blowing information that will radically alter the way we think about the world and our place in it, Marrs goes beyond the revelations of his classic Alien Agenda, interweaving science and authentic archaeological finds with provocative speculation to show how human civilization may have originated with nonhumans who visited earth eons ago.

Resumen del Editor
Our age is obsessed by the idea of conspiracy. We see it everywhere---from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, from the assassination of Kennedy to the death of Diana. In this age of terrorism we live in, the role of conspiracy is a serious one---one that can fuel radical or fringe elements to violence. For award-winning journalist David Aaronovitch, there came a time when he started to see a pattern among these inflammatory theories.
He found that these theories used similarly murky methods with which to insinuate their claims: they linked themselves to the supposed conspiracies of the past ("it happened then so it can happen now"); they carefully manipulated their evidence to hide its holes; and they relied on the authority of dubious academic sources. Most important, they elevated their believers to membership of an elite---a group of people able to see beyond lies to a higher reality. But why believe something that entails stretching the bounds of probability so far? Surely it is more likely that men did actually land on the moon in 1969 than that thousands of people were enlisted to fabricate an elaborate hoax.
In this entertaining and enlightening book---aimed at providing ammunition for those who have found themselves at the wrong end of a conversation about moon landings or the twin towers---Aaronovitch carefully probes and explodes a dozen of the major conspiracy theories. In doing so, he examines why people believe them and makes an argument for a true skepticism---one based on a thorough knowledge of history and a strong dose of common sense.

In The Ghost, investigative reporter Jefferson Morley tells Angleton's dramatic story, from his friendship with the poet Ezra Pound through the underground gay milieu of mid-century Washington to the Kennedy assassination to the Watergate scandal. From the agency's MKULTRA mind-control experiments to the wars of the Mideast, Angleton wielded far more power than anyone knew.

Historia
Like no book before it, Preachers of Hate uncovers an ancient hatred that threatens the life and livelihood of every American. The "new" anti-Semitism targets not only Jews, but Americans specifically and the West in general. It targets our values, our lifestyle, and our freedoms. It is the single most important issue we face when trying to make sense of the Arab world.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy's change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence.

Historia
The capture of SS Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eichmann by Israeli agents in Argentina in May of 1960 and his subsequent trial in Jerusalem by an Israeli court electrified the world. The public debate it sparked on where, how, and by whom Nazi war criminals should be brought to justice, and the international media coverage of the trial itself, was a watershed moment in how the civilized world in general and Holocaust survivors in particular found the means to deal with the legacy of genocide on a scale that had never been seen before.

Americans who remember World War II reminisce about how it brought the country together. The less-popular truth behind this warm nostalgia: Until the attack on Pearl Harbor, America was deeply, dangerously divided.

Historia
More than seven decades after the end of the Second World War, the era of the Nazi hunters is drawing to a close as they and the hunted die off. Their saga can now be told almost in its entirety. After the Nuremberg trials and the start of the Cold War, most of the victors in World War II lost interest in prosecuting Nazi war criminals. Many of the lower-ranking perpetrators quickly blended in with the millions who were seeking to rebuild their lives in a new Europe, while those who felt most at risk fled the continent.

Historia
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.

Facts are and must be the coin of the realm in a democracy. Unfortunately, for citizens in the United States and throughout the world, distinguishing between fact and fiction - always a formidable challenge - is now more difficult than ever, as a constant stream of questionable information pours into media outlets. Lewis argues forcefully that while data points and factoids abound, it is much harder to get to the whole truth of complex issues in time for that truth to guide citizens, voters, and decision makers.

Blunt, Humorous, and Thorough Debunking of Myths
What did you love best about Voodoo Histories?
I enjoyed the author's use of sarcasm and humor in telling the stories. This book is about the people that believe in conspiracies as much as it is about the actual conspiracies. Aaronovitch's derisive comments about those individuals were often quite funny and always well deserved.
What did you like best about this story?
The author's style of presenting the conspiracies was excellent. Aaronovitch would begin each example by telling the original story the way that the public would have experienced it. He would then detail the conspiracy theory or theories that arose following the incident. And then he would give us all of the details and evidence that disproves the conspiracy theories. This actually added an element of suspense to the book.
Have you listened to any of James Langton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was the first time I had listened to James Langton but I enjoyed it. I usually enjoy a narrator with a British accent, and in this case it fit perfectly. The story often contained a sarcastic tone and Langton's style and voice really conveyed that well.
If you could give Voodoo Histories a new subtitle, what would it be?
I think the subtitle is okay. I'm not sure I can think of a better one at this point.
Any additional comments?
The only problem I had was with conspiracy theories and theorists, not the author's story or the narrator's performance. I just found myself feeling frustrated at times while listening to the book, realizing that the conspiracy theorists will never accept the truth, no matter how many books like this are written. Not only would the world be a better place without people spreading absurd conspiracy theories, it's also very annoying to see a dogmatic individual have their argument completely obliterated but still refuse to admit defeat.

Another debunker of conspiracy theories
If you enjoy the fun of following a good conspiracy theory, this book is not for you. This book debunks famous and not so famous theories and sometimes the author explains why we would rather believe them than the truth. If I had the paper copy, then I could see the author's research. Some theories probably deserve debunking, but others are set firmly in their believers's imagination. The theories that received the most attention are the ones that seem to have made a fortune for their authors. Despite possible sour grapes, the book is entertaining. The reader's voice has a nice natural lilt and I wish he wouldn't try other accents. Overall, the book has not shaken my faith in my own beliefs. His application of humor keeps me from being insulted personally.

Conspiracy Debunking
Incisive conspiracy theory debunking from a left-wing perspective. Some of the content is targeted more toward the British public than the American public. The author tries a little too hard to make victims out of the Clintons.

Great Topic
If you could sum up Voodoo Histories in three words, what would they be?
I'm glad to see that someone is calling out the cacophony of conspiracies that have been swirling around in the past twenty years for what they are, nonsense. I will say though that while I love listening to British narrators, I can't stand listening to them do American accents. It's disconcerting. Unless you are a talent voice ACTOR, please don't resort to accents to distinguish quoted passages.

Disappointing
The first negative thing about this audiobook is obvious immediately. The narrator feels the need to mimic foreign accents. His is a mild, pleasant British accent. But when quoting Germans, French, Americans, etc. he tries to use the corresponding accent, which is distracting. (And when I, an American, here British people trying an American accent, it's laughable). Anyway, having different voices/accents is helpful for fiction, but for nonfiction the narrator would be better just reading in his own voice.
My main disappointment was that the material just wasn't that interesting, I'm sad to say. Some of the conspiracies were more interesting than others. Perhaps an abridged reading would have held my interest longer.
This book might be better to read than to listen to. Reading would avoid the distracting foreign accents, plus a reader can skim and scan when there's more detail than holds the interest.

Potential never came to fruition
I love the premise of the book, but it delves too deeply into some conspiracy theories that are not relevant to Americans. Some of them came across as Dull and I would have loved to have seen or heard the authors intro and conclusion in which The author shared the deep roots in where conspiracies originate. Overall, I did take away some valuable insights, but all in all, I am disappointed

Superficial, lacks credibility
I was very disappointed in this book. The "conspiracies" are only covered in a very superficial way, with very little discussion of evidence either for or against them.
I actually quit listening not long after the author referred to "Admirals Kimmel and Short" being in command at Pearl Harbor. If he didn’t even know that Short was a General, his credibility is non-existent.

Disinfo 101
Voodoo histories is fascinating example of omission, half truths and how one can bury the truth by ignoring indisputable facts and attacking straw men that are irrelevant to the actual events.
Conspiracy Theorist is a newspeak term. Wave a wand and dub someone a "Conspiracy Theorist" and poof. You've launched an Orwellian, ad-homenim, word spell. The "Conspiracy Theorist" is guilty of blasphemous crimethink. Empirical evidence etc. etc. that's unimportant these days.There will be no debate of arcane and unimportant facts, facts are secondary to protecting the morality of thought. We must never think the unthinkable.
When the US government kills it's people, it's leaders etc. We have a conspiracy. It is the unthinkable. When the government kills brown skinned foreigners, this is not a conspiracy. This is history. The CIA reeks murder through a conspiracy of covert ops toppling governments for "national interest." No one disputes this. Conspiracy theory's really only apply, when the puppet masters smell a threat of an internal resistance by the awaking of dangerous knowledge.So their shills from the media thoughtpolice pick up their banjos and sing songs of warning to the ignorant. The song is a propaganda hit piece that labels the truth seekers as unpatriotic lunatics. Thus they protect the media groupthink and the public from subversive ideas.
Aaronovitch is just such a banjo player and this book is his nonsensical ballad of lies. He is one of Rupert Murdochs paid conservative shills and the book is like any Fox News production. You would be advised to get the review of this book from the Black Op Radio podcast archives. Please don't waste your money on this pitiful collection of lies, unless you are a researcher who is studying Orwellian techniques on truth obfuscation.
