About this listen
Cada año 470 miembros del ejército ingresan en hospitales por diagnóstico de enfermedades mentales. ¿Qué hay alrededor de esa rotunda estadística? Este libro intenta trazar algunas respuestas a la luz del violento presente que vive el país.
A través de las páginas de este libro, el lector es testigo del dramático proceso mediante el cual un militar puede convertirse en un verdugo y cómo cualquier ciudadano está a su merced.
Por medio de un eficaz estilo que amalgama periodismo narrativo, crónica y reportaje, Ana Lilia Pérez aborda un tema crucial para entender el clima de inseguridad y vulnerabilidad que oprime a la sociedad: la actuación del ejército mexicano durante los últimos años.
La autora examina a detalle la violencia estructural de las filas castrenses y cuestiona frontalmente la impunidad en numerosos casos en los que se ha permitido que militares infrinjan la ley, violen los derechos humanos y ataquen a la población civil, sin que haya ninguna consecuencia judicial.
En esta perspectiva, una de las historias centrales del libro es la de Delmer y José David, dos adolescentes centroamericanos que en su travesía por México hacia Estados Unidos fueron asesinados a sangre fría por un soldado, mientras dormían al aire libre en una población del estado de Coahuila. En la investigación del crimen, se descubrió que el militar padecía alucinaciones en las que tres personas lo seguían y le mandaban mensajes por televisión para ordenarle que matara a la gente a su alrededor.
Con hechos como éste se retratan las entrañas de las fuerzas armadas y las dos caras de su disciplina, la cual se cimienta en una rígida educación, pero también en abusos de poder, maltratos y humillaciones.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Nunca se explicaron los verdaderos motivos, y este hecho tampoco tuvo la resonancia que merecía, pese a que quien se iba era, quizá, el segundo hombre más poderoso del país en ese momento.

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.

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.

Mesopotamia is the ancient name for the region that is now Iraq, a remarkably advanced civilization that flourished for two-thirds of the time that civilization has existed on Earth. Mesopotamians mastered irrigation agriculture; built the first complex urban societies; developed writing, literature, and law; and united vast regions through warfare and diplomacy. While civilizations like Greece and Rome have an unbroken tradition of written histories, the rich history of Mesopotamia has only been recently rediscovered, thanks to the decipherment of Mesopotamia's cuneiform writing less than 200 years ago.

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?

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?

Muy tendencioso
Muy tendencioso sin analizar bien todos los ángulos de las historias . Solo se cuentan las historias desde una sola perspectiva.
