Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War
Book Length --> SYNC= h m | Audible= 7h 52m
From Steve Sheinkin, the Award-winning author of The Port Chicago 50 and Bomb comes a tense, exciting exploration of what The New York Times deemed “the greatest story of the century”: how Daniel Ellsberg transformed from obscure government analyst into “the most dangerous man in America,” and risked everything to expose the government’s deceit.
On June 13, 1971, the front page of The New York Times announced the existence of a 7,000-page collection of documents containing a secret history of the Vietnam War. Known as The Pentagon Papers, these documents had been commissioned by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Chronicling every action the government had taken in the Vietnam War, they revealed a pattern of deception spanning over twenty years and four presidencies, and forever changed the relationship between American citizens and the politicians claiming to represent their interests.
A provocative audiobook that interrogates the meanings of patriotism, freedom, and integrity, Most Dangerous further establishes Steve Sheinkin as a leader in children’s nonfiction.

The Book of Unknown Americans
NOT Available in UK or British Commonwealth (including Canada)
Book Length --> SYNC= h m | Audible= 9h 12m
When Mayor Toro sees Maribel Rivera in a Dollar Tree store, it is love at first sight.
It’s also the beginning of a friendship between the Rivera and Toro families, whose web of guilt and love is at this audiobook’s core. Woven into their stories are the testimonials of men and women who have come to the United States from all over Latin America. Their journeys and their voices will inspire you, surprise you, and break your heart.
Suspenseful, wry and immediate, rich in spirit and humanity, The Book of Unknown Americans is a work of rare force and originality that offers a resonant new definition of what it means to be American.
