Story4.5 out of 5 stars 566
World War II endures in the popular imagination as a heroic struggle between good and evil, with villainous Hitler driving its events. But Hitler was not in power when the conflict erupted in Asia. His armies did not fight in multiple theaters, his empire did not span the Eurasian continent, and he did not inherit any of the spoils of war. That central role belonged to Joseph Stalin. Drawing on ambitious new research in Soviet, European, and US archives, Stalin’s War revolutionizes our understanding of this global conflict by moving its epicenter to the east.

One of those books you’ll never forget after listening to!!

Now, I know why this book is deliberately hid, down played, put on the bad book list, and usually attacked if it can’t be ignored!! In the empire of lies books like this are a true lighthouse for truth seekers who have to navigate the treacherous and vast seas of lies, propaganda, and disinformation of our times!
I take my hat off to this author, for the great work he’s obviously done by writing this book, and the contribution it’s done to informing westerners of the true history of Stalin’s war and facts surrounding it!

When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

Fellow at Ethic & Public Policy Center, scholar at The Institute for Human Ecology at CUA and the nationally best-selling author of the Theology of Home series, Carrie Gress argues that fifty years of radical feminism have had the opposite of the intended effect and have granted primacy of place to the traditionally male sphere of life, while simultaneously devaluing the typical attributes, virtues, and strengths of women.

There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology, championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

I really enjoyed this book
Reviewed: 07-18-23
I learned quite a bit and really liked the book, but the last chapter where you brought up compulsory civil service for American youth and your extremely negative talk of long summer breaks came as quite a shock, because it came across as a highly naive and an extremely statist approach to his perceived problems. But having said that I loved everything he had to say about the problems with corporate America.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2,298
From the heterodox right wing of the 1940s to the Buchanan/Rothbard alliance of 1992 and all the way through to what he witnessed personally in Charlottesville, The New Right is a thorough firsthand accounting of the concepts, characters and chronology of this widely misunderstood sociopolitical phenomenon. Today’s fringe is tomorrow’s orthodoxy. As entertaining as it is informative, The New Right is required listening for every American across the spectrum who would like to learn more about the past, present and future of our divided political culture.

This is the third and last book by Malice I’ll buy!
Reviewed: 06-23-23
I was tortured by his North Korean book, his book on anarchy wasn’t that bad because it was largely a collection of others authors(some I really like), but this book was a total waste of time! Malice sure talked a lot but he didn’t advance my knowledge on any subject nor topic throughout his whole book! If Tom woods didn’t love this half rate author, I wouldn’t even know who he was! But like I said, 3 and done!!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 256
Since Obama took office, conservative pundits have been mainstays on the best-seller list. And now, the best-selling author and political legend Pat Buchanan weighs in with a warning against not only the dangers that the country faces under Obama, but the risk of sliding into irrelevancy that the Republican party faces if it chooses to forget its core values. As he shows in this incisive book, liberal policy-making and unhindered globalization have eroded America’s economic strength.

Anarchism has been both a vision of a peaceful, cooperative society — and an ideology of revolutionary terror. Since the term itself — anarchism — is a negation, there is a great deal of disagreement on what the positive alternative would look like. The black flag comes in many colors.

Hasnas and rothbard make it well worth the listen
Reviewed: 02-18-22
Murray n rothbard’s anatomy of the state and John hasnas’s myth of the rule of law make this audio book get a 5 stars review from me. If you haven’t ever heard nor read them, they are freely found on the net and maybe even free audio YouTubes, but the voices for both of these that malice picked were brilliant!!
