Madagascar provided the stunning backdrop for one of the strangest conflicts of the Second World War - when Britain went head to head against one of its closest allies. When British forces landed on the island in 1942, the enemy they faced wasn't German, Japanese, or even Italian, this time the opposing forces were French. Concerned that Japan might use Madagascar as a strategic base to disrupt the supply line to India, Britain was keen to take control of the island. However, the Vichy forces were keen to defend the French colony and prevent it becoming part of the British Empire.
A Strange Campaign: The Battle for Madagascar gives a detailed account of this fascinating, but little-known period of military history. Even at the time, the conflict was a controversial one, pitting two colonial empires against each other. However, it was also ground-breaking as it was the first time Allied forces had staged a major amphibious invasion. The lessons learned on the shores of Madagascar would prove to be invaluable two years later during the D-day landings in Normandy. Military historian Russell Phillips examines the tactics used in the battle for Madagascar, which included secret agents, dummy paratroopers and attempted bribery.

Matt Margolis / Narrated by John McLain
The presidency of Barack Obama was characterized by radical policy shifts - the implementation of Obamacare (the first steps toward socialized medicine); unprecedented expansion of the big government regulatory state; the prioritization of pie-in-the-sky environmental concerns over jobs and economic growth; a foreign policy based on secret dealings, appeasement, and "leading from behind"; and a concerted effort to institutionalize political correctness in colleges, high schools, and even elementary schools across the nation.

Lee Smolin / Narrated by Walter Dixon
In this groundbreaking book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that physics - the basis for all other sciences - has lost its way. For more than two centuries, our understanding of the laws of nature expanded rapidly. But today, despite our best efforts, we know nothing more about these laws than we knew in the 1970s. Why is physics suddenly in trouble? And what can we do about it?

Pavan K. Varma / Narrated by Rajesh P.I., Deevas Gupta
The Ramcharitmanas is undoubtedly one of the greatest lyrical compositions in Hindi literature. Writing in the 16th century, Tulsidas chose to pen verses in Awadhi rather than Sanskrit, thus breaking with literary tradition and, importantly, making Lord Ram more relatable to the lay person. Pavan K. Varma, author of the best-selling Adi Shankaracharya: Hinduism's Greatest Thinker, has selected some of the most evocative stanzas - offering a succinct commentary for each - that capture the very core of the original.

This audiobook was written to educate Americans about the radical form of socialism spreading across our country. Schools are teaching a romanticized view of socialism that leaves our younger generation clueless as to what perils it may bring. It is up to adults to understand what socialism is so we can teach our children. The author commissioned 11-year-old Braylon Nance, who she's known since birth, to draw the cover art to impart the benefits of capitalism through hard work.
