$3.99 -- Agent Garbo -- Stephan Talty/ Clinton Wade --> 8.9 hrs/ R-4.3 --> WWII history

Quote:
Before he remade himself as the master spy known as Garbo, Juan Pujol was nothing more than a Barcelona poultry farmer. But as Garbo, he turned in a masterpiece of deception that changed the course of World War II. Posing as the Nazis’ only reliable spy inside England, he created an imaginary million-man army, invented armadas out of thin air, and brought a vast network of fictional subagents to life. The scheme culminated on June 6, 1944, when Garbo convinced the Germans that the Allied forces approaching Normandy were just a feint - the real invasion would come at Calais. Because of his brilliant trickery, the Allies were able to land with much less opposition and eventually push on to Berlin.

GtrsRGr8:
Hmmm . . . . I hope that the book is more accurate than the blurb. The Allies which landed at Normandy (Americans, British, Canadians, maybe others (If I've left anyone out it isn't intentional)) did not eventually "push on" to Berlin.

When Eisenhower, I think that it was, saw the projected casualty figures for the assault on Berlin, he offered the honor of taking Berlin to the Soviet Union which accepted. The Americans, British, and Canadians fought through other parts of Germany. I think that the agreement was that the A,B,C's would stop at the Elbe River. At any rate, that is where the American contingent, at least, did stop, meeting the Soviets there.

As part of an agreement at Tehran, Casablanca, or somewhere else, Berlin was divided into separate sectors--East and West Berlin. The East was to go to the Soviets and the West was to go to one or more of the other Allies. But the occupation of West Berlin by one or more of the other Allies was not from a military push, but by the Soviet Union transferring it over to them in an orderly manner.

I checked two books on the UK and USA site and found that the USA site offers these two books for just under $2.00 each cheaper then the UK site even with the UK's sale.

$1.95 -- A Thousand Miles to Freedom -- S Falletti, E Kim/ EW Zeller --> 5.6 hrs/ R-4.4


Whispersync Deal: the Audible book is $1.95, if you own or borrow the Kindle ebook ($11.99)

Genre: Personal Memoirs

A Thousand Miles to Freedom: My Escape from North Korea

Eunsun Kim was born in North Korea, one of the most secretive and oppressive countries in the modern world. As a child, Eunsun loved her country...despite her school field trips to public executions, daily self-criticism sessions, and the increasing gnaw of hunger as the countrywide famine escalated. By the time she was 11 years old, Eunsun's father and grandparents had died of starvation, and Eunsun too was in danger of starving. Finally her mother decided to escape North Korea with Eunsun and her sister, not knowing that they were embarking on a journey that would take them nine long years to complete. Told with grace and courage, her memoir is a riveting exposé of North Korea's totalitarian regime and, ultimately, a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.

Whispersync Deal: the Audible book is $12.99, if you own or borrow the Kindle ebook ($8.99)

Genre: Religion: Christianity

Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis' forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis sees as the fundamental truths of the religion. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice".

yes, buy book, then go to audiobook page (amazon or kindle) and it is 3.99 for this edition.

I think the >$12 one linked on the Kindle book page is a different audible edition (and it is kind of a pain to figure out which one it is).

$5.95 -- Undaunted -- Tanya Biank/ Pam Ward --> 11.5 hrs/ R-4.4


Whispersync Deal: the Audible book is $4.49, if you own or borrow the Kindle ebook ($9.99)

Genre: Personal Memoirs: Military

Undaunted: The Real Story of America’s Servicewomen in Today’s Military

As she did so provocatively with military spouses in Army Wives, Tanya Biank gives us the inside story of women in today’s military - their professional and personal challenges from the combat zone to the home front.

Since 9/11, more than 240,000 women have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan - more than 140 have died there, and they currently make up 14 percent of the total active-duty forces. Despite advances, today’s servicewomen are constantly pressed to prove themselves, to overcome challenges men never face, and to put the military mission ahead of all other aspects of their lives, particularly marriage and motherhood.

In this groundbreaking insider’s look at the women defending our nation, Tanya Biank brings to light the real issues - femininity, belonging to an old boys’ club, veiled discrimination, dating, marriage problems, separation from children, questions about life goals, career trajectories, and self-worth - that servicewomen are facing by focusing on four individual stories.

Brigadier General Angela Salinas, the Marine Corps’ first Hispanic female general, faces the challenge of commanding an all-male institution. Second Lieutenant Bergan Flannigan finds herself on the front lines in Afghanistan, serving in the same military police company as her husband. As a marine drill instructor, Sergeant Amy Stokley demands the very best from the recruits at Parris Island. And Major Candice O’Brien deals with deployment to Afghanistan, with two young children and a strained marriage back home.

Undaunted is the story of these courageous trailblazers - their struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs in the name of serving the country they love.

I believe this version was a freebie from Tantor at some point, so you may want to check your audiobook library before purchasing.
