"Welcome to *The History of War - Volume 1*, an immersive journey through six of history’s most pivotal wars, from the medieval Wars of the Roses to the global devastation of World War II. These conflicts, though separated by time and geography, are deeply interconnected, forming a chain of events that shaped the modern world. We begin with the **Wars of the Roses (1455–1487)**, a dynastic struggle that gave rise to the Tudor dynasty and positioned England as a future European power. Then, we delve into the **Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815)**, where Napoleon’s ambitions reshaped Europe and fueled the rise of nationalism—an idea that would spark later conflicts like the Crimean War and World War I. The **Crimean War (1853–1856)** revealed the fragility of empires and the complexities of European alliances, setting the stage for the global power struggles that would come in the 20th century. Crossing the Atlantic, the **American Civil War (1861–1865)** reflected the ideological divisions seen in many European conflicts, while its innovations in warfare anticipated the strategies of World War I. **World War I (1914–1918)**, born from unresolved tensions of the Napoleonic era, shattered empires and left Europe in a fragile peace, while the harsh Treaty of Versailles directly led to **World War II (1939–1945)**, the most destructive conflict in history. As you listen, you’ll see how these wars, driven by power, ambition, and survival, shaped the world and influenced future conflicts. History’s cycles of war and peace unfold before you, revealing the interconnectedness of these transformative events."

Your Company Is Your Castle: Proven Methods for Building a Resilient Business
"Companies emerge from smart people with clever ideas. However, vision alone is not enough, as only one out of three companies lasts ten years. It takes a systematic approach to make a company sustainably successful. In Your Company Is Your Castle, Sandeep Chennakeshu, a business transformation veteran, compares building a company to that of a medieval castle that has withstood the test of time, having weathered nature's elements and hordes of invaders. Sandeep ties eight structural elements of such castles to eight essential elements that make a company thrive. He describes how to assess and systematically build a company’s business model, financial health, strategy, culture, products, sales channels, execution, and stakeholder confidence to make the company formidable. Your Company Is Your Castle equips you with critical insights and principles to build strong businesses and, in turn, build yourself into a strong leader. Using evocative examples from diverse companies and stories from his thirty-year career of transforming companies and launching trailblazing products globally, Sandeep gives entrepreneurs and managers at all levels and all disciplines in a company a blueprint and recipe book needed for not only building a lasting company, but defending, protecting, and expanding it."

"Sometimes we're not alone.... What is the dreadful secret hiding behind the front door of an insignificant South London terraced house? Following a triple killing in 1896, a series of murders occur sporadically in the same house, culminating in the murder of the new occupant's girlfriend over a century later.

Audiobook
"A chance encounter, a road accident, an air crash, a hold-up at a bank: How do such events connect people? How do people see the situations from their different perspectives? Three narrative strands follow the lives of three individuals – Peter, Cathy and Ivan – through the second half of the 20th century, from post-war austerity and mediocrity in the 1950s and 1960s to the fast-moving life-style of the present decade, whereby the plot is embedded in real events of the period. The three biographies intersect at crucial points, which reveals their internal landscapes and the different ways of understanding reality. Things are not always what they seem, and we do not always know the whole truth. Playing with various time-levels, this novel of the mind deals primarily with potential fallacies of perception, sexual awakening, emotional exploitation and the proximity of death. How do we store the memorable events in our lives? And how do we cope with these memories as we grow older?"
Rudolph Bader (Author), Angus Freathy (Narrator)

"In Nazi Germany, young Manfred is hardly aware of the influence that draws him into the existing political system. After the War he changes his name and builds up a new career, starting a family, first in the States, later in Britain. While his friends and family have no idea of his activities during the War, his daughter Nora and his grandson Andrew, being interested in recent history, begin to suspect their (grand-) father’s dark secret. How far does moral responsibility go? Can really heavy guilt ever be expiated in Dostoyevsky’s sense or is there no hope for atonement by later generations? Is it ever too late to learn fundamental lessons from political developments?"
Rudolph Bader (Author), Angus Freathy (Narrator)
