Titoli in Politici

Now adapted for an immersive audio experience exclusive to Audible, American Dharma is the third installment in Academy Award-winning documentary torchbearer Errol Morris' trilogy of documentaries probing polarizing political figures. 

Este audiolibro es el resultado de más de un año de reflexiones sobre mi presidencia. En sus páginas cuento la historia tal y como la viví. Es la crónica de nuestros logros y de las duras batallas que tuvimos que dar contra el populismo. Es el relato de nuestros aciertos pero también de nuestros errores y, sobre todo, de lo que aprendimos juntos en este primer viaje hacia una Argentina del respeto, más libre, más moderna y democrática.

Abraham Lincoln called "Billy" Herndon “my man always above all other men on the globe". After Lincoln's assassination, Herndon and co-author Jesse Weik conducted many interviews with Lincoln's family and friends for this biography. The result - although not without flaws - has been recognized as one of the most important biographies of the Great Emancipator ever published. This volume covers the period of Lincoln's life in New Salem, Illinois, as a young man, through his love affair with Ann Rutledge, becoming a lawyer, his marriage to Mary Todd, and service in Congress.

Just two weeks after winning reelection to his ninth term in Congress, Steve King was stunned to learn the “Swamp” was poised to unleash a treacherous media blitzkrieg designed to kill his Congressional political career on the spot. The words “They believe they can force you to resign” still ring in his ears today. He knew Democrats and the media would pile on. Unfortunately, the threat was from within his party, and it was far more dangerous. The Republican establishment, RINOs, elitists, globalists, and NeverTrumpers needed him out of the way. This is the full story.

Es progresista, socialdemócrata y feminista. Una líder milenial. La segunda mujer electa en dar a luz durante su mandato. Pero ¿quién es realmente Jacinda Ardern? ¿Y por qué inspira tanta admiración en todo el mundo? La primera ministra de Nueva Zelanda ha sido considerada la gran líder de una nueva generación. Su elegancia y compasión durante el tiroteo en la mezquita de Christchurch captó la atención del mundo entero. Incluso la mismísima Oprah Winfrey invitó a sus seguidores a "canalizar la Jacinda que llevamos dentro".

When Lou Henry married Herbert Hoover in February 1899, she looked forward to a partnership of equality and a life of adventure. She could fire a rifle and sit a horse as well as any man. The Quaker community of Whittier, California, where she lived as a teen, reinforced the egalitarian spirit of her upbringing. But history had other ideas for Lou Henry Hoover. Conveying Lou’s humor, personality, and intelligence, A Woman of Adventure takes a fresh look at the first lady who preceded Eleanor Roosevelt and her also-extraordinary accomplishments. 

Thomas Jefferson was arguably the most brilliant and inspiring political writer in American history. But the ethical realities of his personal life and political career did not live up to his soaring rhetoric. Indeed, three tensions defined Jefferson’s moral life: democracy versus slavery, republican virtue versus dissolute consumption, and veneration for Jesus versus skepticism about Christianity. In this book, Thomas S. Kidd tells the story of Jefferson’s ethical life through the lens of these tensions.

Joseph Stalin, chief murderer and dictator of the USSR, devised the most devastating system of poison labs and bioweapons the world had yet seen. In The Dancer and the Devil, John O’Neill teams up with Sarah Wynne to expose the toxic reign of terror continuing today. As engaging as a novel and packed with historical research, this book reveals how the spirit of Stalin lives on in the hideous human experiments being conducted in the concentration camps of North Korea, in Putin’s blatant assassination plots, and in the bioweapon plans of the People’s Republic of China.

La vida de Gustavo Petro no es tan conocida a pesar de que su participación en la vida pública del país ha sido destacada como representante a la Cámara, Senador de la República y Alcalde de Bogotá. Poco se sabe de sus primeros años, cuando sus padres se conocieron en la Bogotá de finales de los años cincuenta y la parábola de una vida que comenzó en su natal Ciénaga de Oro, en el barrio Las Cruces, o en Zipaquirá, su municipio de crianza donde estudió en el mismo colegio de su escritor más admirado, Gabriel García Márquez.

George Washington came to be known as father of his country. In his role as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, George Washington defeated the British in the American Revolution and established the United States of America. Through his extraordinary military leadership, he guaranteed that the American Republic would move forward in its revolutionary experiment. So how was Washington able to win this seemingly unwinnable war? This compelling 15-lecture audio course answers this and many more questions about one of the most foundational figures in American history.

Russell Means was the most controversial American Indian leader of our time, and in Where White Men Fear to Tread, he recounts pivotal moments of his life. Means did everything possible to dramatize and justify the American Indian aim of self-determination — from storming Mount Rushmore and seizing Plymouth Rock to running for President in 1988. Perhaps most notoriously, in 1973, Means led a 71-day takeover of Wounded Knee, South Dakota. 

Set against the backdrop of World War II, Nazi uprisings, political unrest in Argentina and Paraguay, and the scourge of leprosy left untreated, Dr. John and Clara Schmidt commit to living a life of service in their fight against poverty, stigma, and social injustice.

For 22 years, politicians and businessmen pushed for the Adams Mine landfill as a solution to Ontario’s garbage disposal crisis. This plan to dump millions of tonnes of waste into the fractured pits of the Adams Mine prompted five separate civil resistance campaigns by a rural region of 35,000 in Northern Ontario. 

Whenever anyone tells you that only the big parties or star candidates have a chance of winning a seat in federal parliament, just say "Cathy McGowan". Running as a community-backed independent candidate, Cathy won the previously safe Liberal seat of Indi in 2013 and again in 2016 and passed Indi on to another independent in 2019 – a first in Australian history. Cathy tells how thousands of ordinary men and women in north-eastern Victoria got together, organised themselves and made their voices heard in Canberra.

“I’d rather win a Pulitzer Prize than be President of the United States,” John F. Kennedy confided to author Margaret Coit shortly after his election to the Senate in 1953. Kennedy got his wish four years later, when his book Profiles in Courage was awarded the Pulitzer for biography — even though it wasn’t among the finalists for the prize.

When Mosilo Mothepu was appointed CEO of Trillian Financial Advisory, in March 2016, the prospect of being at the helm of a Black-owned financial consultancy was electrifying for a Black woman whose twin passions were transformation and empowering women. Three months later, suffering from depression and insomnia, she resigned with no other job lined up. In October 2016, a written statement handed to Public Protector Thuli Madonsela detailing Trillian’s involvement in state capture was leaked to the media.
