Killer Babe: The True Story of Brittany Holberg , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
Brittany Holberg was a 23-year-old prostitute when she was convicted of murdering 80-year-old AB Towery Jr., stabbing him over 60 times. The controversy surrounding the case centered around the relationship of Brittany and Towery prior to the killing. Brittany argued that Towery was a client who went into a rage when he found drugs on her person. He attacked her and she retaliated in self-defense. Further investigation would reveal otherwise, however, as Brittany would use numerous household items in a brutal assault on the elderly man. She fled the scene only to be caught at a McDonald's after police received a tip from a witness who saw her on America's Most Wanted. With her good looks and well-proportioned body, Brittany has remained in the spotlight as she was featured in a Maxim Magazine article as one of the "hottest women on death row". ungekürzt.

Dangerous Things : Blood Bound Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 464min
Everyone says there are two paths in life, but for Jewel Scott, it looked like both of them were very dangerous. One led toward Anthony, a murdering psychopathic werewolf who was also the head of the city mob and her fiancé - against her will. The other road led toward Steven, a werecougar whom she had knocked out with a baseball bat on their first meeting. He retaliated by kidnapping her and making her his mate. Steven Wilder had fallen for the bat-wielding temptress in more ways than just hitting the floor - he wanted to keep her. Finding out she was promised to the mob gave him the reason he needed to kidnap her and make her his mate, for her own protection, of course. Anthony Valachi had become obsessed with Jewel when she was no more than a child and, under mob rule, he'd gained control of his bride-to-be. If anyone thought they could steal her away from him they were wrong...dead wrong. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: KB Stanford.

A More Civil War: How the Union Waged a Just War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
During the Civil War, Americans confronted profound moral problems about how to fight in the conflict. In this innovative book, D. H. Dilbeck reveals how the Union sought to wage a just war against the Confederacy. He shows that Northerners fought according to a distinct "moral vision of war", an array of ideas about the nature of a truly just and humane military effort. Dilbeck tells how Union commanders crafted rules of conduct to ensure their soldiers defeated the Confederacy as swiftly as possible, while also limiting the total destruction unleashed by the fighting. Dilbeck explores how Union soldiers abided by official just-war policies as they battled guerrillas, occupied cities, retaliated against enemy soldiers, and came into contact with Confederate civilians. In contrast to recent scholarship focused solely on the Civil War's carnage, Dilbeck details how the Union sought both to deal sternly with Confederates and to adhere to certain constraints. The Union's earnest effort to wage a just war ultimately helped give the Civil War its distinct character, a blend of immense destruction and remarkable restraint. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1366min
Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in History Winner of the 2017 Bancroft Prize National Book Award finalist Los Angeles Times book prize finalist New York Times notable book for 2016 Named a best book of the year by the Boston Globe, Newsweek, Kirkus, and Publishers Weekly The first definitive history of the infamous 1971 Attica prison uprising, the state's violent response, and the victims' decades-long quest for justice. On September 9, 1971, nearly 1,300 prisoners took over the Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York to protest years of mistreatment. Holding guards and civilian employees hostage, the prisoners negotiated with officials for improved conditions during the four long days and nights that followed. On September 13, the state abruptly sent hundreds of heavily armed troopers and correction officers to retake the prison by force. Their gunfire killed 39 men - hostages as well as prisoners - and severely wounded more than 100 others. In the ensuing hours, weeks, and months, troopers and officers brutally retaliated against the prisoners. And, ultimately, New York State authorities prosecuted only the prisoners, never once bringing charges against the officials involved in the retaking and its aftermath, and neglecting to provide support to the survivors and the families of the men who had been killed. Drawing from more than a decade of extensive research, historian Heather Ann Thompson sheds new light on every aspect of the uprising and its legacy, giving voice to all those who took part in this 45-year fight for justice: prisoners, former hostages, families of the victims, lawyers and judges, and state officials and members of law enforcement. Blood in the Water is the searing and indelible account of one of the most important civil rights stories of the last century. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin Bennett.
