One of the 20th century's most challenging novels of ideas, The Fountainhead champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion. The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters: Howard Roarke, a genius; Gail Wynand, a newspaper mogul and self-made millionaire; and Dominique Francon, a devastating beauty.

When the towers fell on September 11, 2001, nowhere were the reverberations more powerfully felt than at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Almost overnight, the intelligence organization evolved into a warfighting intelligence service, constructing what was known internally as "the Program": a web of top-secret detention facilities intended to help prevent future attacks on American soil and around the world. With Black Site, former deputy director of the CIA Counterterrorist Center Philip Mudd presents a full, never-before-told story of this now-controversial program.

Great to hear the unfiltered words, direct from the mouths of the people who were there and lived it. It may be an eye-opener for some people with a ‘Hollywood’ only understanding of the subject.
Great, excellent, amazing !!!

Heinz Linge worked with Adolf Hitler for a 10 year period from 1935 until the Fuhrer's death in the Berlin bunker in May 1945. He was one of the last to leave the bunker and was responsible for guarding the door while Hitler killed himself. During his years of service, Linge was responsible for all aspects of Hitler's household and was constantly by his side. He claims that only Eva Braun stood closer to Hitler over these years. Through a host of anecdotes and observations, Linge recounts the daily routine in Hitler's household; his eating habits, his foibles, his preferences, his sense of humour, and his private life with Eva Braun.

Charles Ball’s book (1836) was written with the help of a lawyer, Isaac Fischer. He recounts his experiences as a slave, including descriptions of the harsh and inhumane conditions under which he lived. He also points out how his well-being depended on the temperament of his slave masters.

Her palace shimmered with onyx, garnets, and gold, but was richer still in political and sexual intrigue. Above all else, Cleopatra was a shrewd strategist and an ingenious negotiator. Though her life spanned fewer than forty years, it reshaped the contours of the ancient world. She was married twice, each time to a brother. She waged a brutal civil war against the first when both were teenagers. She poisoned the second. In a masterly return to the classical sources, Stacy Schiff here boldly separates fact from fiction to rescue the magnetic queen whose death ushered in a new world order.

Written well, I appreciate a female’s insight on one of the most famous (infamous?) ladies of all time.
Enjoyed the readers voice and style very much as well.
This one will stay in my library.

Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian Empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India.

What a great audible book!
Revisado: 04-23-18
Where does Alexander the Great rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is a great audible book. I’ve read and listened to many books on Alexander the Great and this book has great historical content from all the usual sources, ie; Plutarch , etc, the writer and narrator have created an intensely interesting, fast paced and truly enjoyable audible experience.
What did you like best about this story?
It was fascinating, well read and funny in places. Just really enjoyed this book!
What does Michael Page bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Michael Page is a great narrator! His voice is pleasing, he draws you wholly into the story. He is able to capture the drama, excitement, intensity and humor for every part of the story. Thank you Michael for bringing this wonderful work to life in my ears and brain!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Edge of my seat, shaking my head, laughing out loud...
Any additional comments?
Loved it!

The Civil War: A Narrative, Volume 1 begins one of the most remarkable works of history ever fashioned. All the great battles are here, of course, from Bull Run through Shiloh, the Seven Days Battles, and Antietam, but so are the smaller ones: Ball's Bluff, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, Island Ten, New Orleans, and Monitor versus Merrimac.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Read it while you still can. Once the statues and other historical reminders have been removed, the thought police will come for the books.
