Comrades-in-Arms , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 496min
Long before "Don't ask, don't tell", gays served in the military - sometimes openly - more often in secret. In this volume the author imagines what their lives might have been like. Within, you will find tales of historical fiction mixed occasionally with supernatural horror, including: a French fusilier fighting guerrillas and growing disillusionment in Napoleonic Spain; soldiers encountering the unthinkable during the 1812 occupation and retreat from Moscow; a good-natured Wiltshire man finding companionship and courage amid the muck and misery of the Western Front; a downed American airman realizing everyone is not quite as they seem as he takes refuge with a band of Polish partisans during World War II; and more. Comrades-in-Arms offers tales of battles and the aftermath, of comradeship, loss, duty, and discovery. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ezekiel Robison.

Soldier in the Circus: How to Survive Five Years as a Prisoner of War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min
On VE Day in 1945, Edward Lyme was one of the many soldiers who thronged London's Piccadilly Circus to celebrate the end of the long war in Europe. Having been captured during the Defence of Calais in 1940, he had spent the previous five years in another sort of circus - the stalags of Germany and Poland. But Edward Lyme was not passive during his captivity and made several escapes. He scavenged for food and hid in barns - he was even incarcerated in a chimney for several days. One escape led him to finding himself nearly enrolled by a gang of Eastern European desperados, led by a virago of a woman who kept a murder roster pinned to her door. Throughout all of this, he never lost his sense of the absurd. Laced with the humor and sense of comradeship that sustained so many POWs, Soldier in the Circus is the story of an ordinary soldier's survival. ungekürzt. Language: English.
