   Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America by Michael Harriot

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521033 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521033) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America Author: Michael Harriot Narrator: Michael Harriot Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 42 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.66 of Total 41 Ratings of Narrator: 3.92 of Total 13 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: From acclaimed columnist and political commentator Michael Harriot, a searingly smart and bitingly hilarious retelling of American history that corrects the record and showcases the perspectives and experiences of Black Americans. America’s backstory is a whitewashed mythology implanted in our collective memory. It is the story of the pilgrims on the Mayflower building a new nation. It is George Washington’s cherry tree and Abraham Lincoln’s log cabin. It is the fantastic tale of slaves that spontaneously teleported themselves here with nothing but strong backs and negro spirituals. It is a sugarcoated legend based on an almost true story. It should come as no surprise that the dominant narrative of American history is blighted with errors and oversights—after all, history books were written by white men with their perspectives at the forefront. It could even be said that the devaluation and erasure of the Black experience is as American as apple pie. In Black AF History, Michael Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history. Combining unapologetically provocative storytelling with meticulous research based on primary sources as well as the work of pioneering Black historians, scholars, and journalists, Harriot removes the white sugarcoating from the American story, placing Black people squarely at the center. With incisive wit, Harriot speaks hilarious truth to oppressive power, subverting conventional historical narratives with little-known stories about the experiences of Black Americans. From the African Americans who arrived before 1619 to the unenslavable bandit who inspired America’s first police force, this long overdue corrective provides a revealing look into our past that is as urgent as it is necessary. For too long, we have refused to acknowledge that American history is white history. Not this one. This history is Black AF.  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

   3000 Degrees: The True Story of a Deadly Fire and the Men Who Fought It by Sean Flynn

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521516 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521516) to listen full audiobooks. Title: 3000 Degrees: The True Story of a Deadly Fire and the Men Who Fought It Author: Sean Flynn Narrator: Richard Rohan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: April 27, 2023 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: On December 3, 1999, the call crackled in to the men of the Worchester, Massachusetts Fire Department: a three-alarm warehouse blaze in a six-story windowless colossus of brick and mortar. Firefighters love the excitement of a "triple." But this was a different beast. Rollovers, flashovers, backdrafts, this one had it all. Once inside, they found themselves trapped in a snarling furnace of blazing orange heat as hot as a crematorium, with smoke so black and predatory they had to feel for their partners next to them. Swallowed deep in the building, with no way out, they struggled to survive an ill-fated ordeal that would push them to the very limits of loyalty and courage. What happened next—and how their lives and community were changed forever—offers an unprecedented look at these heroic men whose job it is to rush into burning buildings when everyone else just wants out.

   Crash Landing: The Inside Story of How the World's Biggest Companies Survived an Economy on the Brink by Liz Hoffman

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/533038 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/533038) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Crash Landing: The Inside Story of How the World's Biggest Companies Survived an Economy on the Brink Author: Liz Hoffman Narrator: Liz Hoffman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 21 minutes Release date: March 7, 2023 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: A kaleidoscopic account of the financial carnage of the pandemic, revealing the fear, grit, and gambles that drove the economy’s winners and losers—from a leading business reporter “A true masterwork . . . perceptive, well researched, and captivating.”—David M. Rubenstein, co-founder and co-chairman of The Carlyle Group, bestselling author of How to Invest It was the ultimate test for CEOs, and almost none of them saw it coming. In early March 2020, with the Dow Jones flirting with 30,000, the world’s biggest companies were riding an eleven-year economic high. By the end of the month, millions were out of work, iconic firms were begging for bailouts, and countless small businesses were in freefall. Slick consulting teams and country-club connections were suddenly of little use: Business leaders were fumbling in the dark, tossing out long-term strategy and making decisions on the fly—decisions that, they hoped, might just save them. In Crash Landing, award-winning business journalist Liz Hoffman shows how the pandemic set the economy on fire—but if you look closely, the tinder was already there. After the global financial crisis in 2008, corporate leaders embraced cheap debt and growth at all costs. Wages flatlined. Millions were pushed into the gig economy. Companies crammed workers into offices, and airlines did the same with planes. Wall Street cheered on this relentless march toward efficiency, overlooking the collateral damage and the risks sowed in the process. Based on astonishing access inside some of the world’s biggest and most iconic companies, Crash Landing is a kaleidoscopic account of the most remarkable period in modern economic history, revealing—through gripping, fly-on-the-wall reporting—how CEOs battled an economic catastrophe for which there was no playbook: among them, Airbnb’s Brian Chesky, blindsided by a virus in the middle of a high-stakes effort to go public; American Airlines’ Doug Parker, shuttling between K Street and the White House, determined to secure a multibillion-dollar bailout; and Ford’s Jim Hackett, as his assembly lines went from building cars to churning out ventilators. In the tradition of Too Big to Fail and The Big Short, Crash Landing exposes the fear, grit, and gambles behind the pandemic economy, while probing its implications for the future of work, corporate leadership, and capitalism itself, asking: Will this remarkable time give rise to newfound resilience, or become just another costly mistake to be forgotten?
