Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death by Patrick Henry audiobook.

Genre: speeches

Set on the eve of the American Revolution, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death captures Patrick Henry's electrifying address to the Second Virginia Convention in March 1775, when the colonies were still divided over whether reconciliation with Britain remained possible. As delegates weigh petitions, boycotts, and patience against the rising pressure of royal power, Henry steps forward with a fierce, urgent argument: the time for hoping and waiting has passed, and Virginia must prepare to defend its rights. Moving from measured analysis to blazing conviction, he challenges his listeners to confront hard realities about freedom, security, and the cost of resistance. More than a political appeal, the speech is a masterclass in persuasion, blending moral clarity, vivid imagery, and relentless logic to rally a hesitant audience toward action. Ideal for listeners interested in the founding era and the power of oratory, this short but monumental work explores the themes of liberty versus tyranny, courage under uncertainty, and the moment when private doubt becomes public resolve.

The First Battle of Bull Run by P. G. T. Beauregard audiobook.

Genre: history

In this first-person military narrative, Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard reconstructs the tense weeks that led to the Civil War's first great clash at Manassas, known in the North as the First Battle of Bull Run. Beginning with the aftermath of Fort Sumter and his sudden call to defend the rail junction at Manassas, Beauregard explains why the ground mattered, what his army lacked, and how geography, rail lines, and supply shaped every decision. As pressure builds in Richmond and Washington, he describes the intelligence he gathered about Union plans, the arguments over strategy with Confederate leaders, and the urgent effort to concentrate scattered forces in time. When the Federal advance finally comes, the account follows the rapid shifts of initiative, the confusion of coordinating inexperienced troops, and the race to reinforce threatened points before the line breaks. Part campaign study and part memoir, the book highlights the fog of war, the friction between politics and command, and the hard lessons learned at the opening of a conflict neither side yet understood.

Ten From Infinity by Paul W. Fairman audiobook.

Genre: scifi

It began when a pedestrian got hit by a cab in New York City. No doubt it was the only motor mishap in the history of creation that reached out among the stars—for far out in space a signal was registered: Something has gone wrong....

And something had gone wrong, for the doctors discovered their accident patient had two hearts. It was the beginning of the discovery that the Earth had been invaded by 10 such creatures from Outer Space.

Every effort was made to learn their purpose. An orbital flight was launched to spot alien bodies—only to be destroyed in space. One of the alien men was captured—but no threat of pain or death could unlock the secret in his brain.

Something had gone wrong. And somehow, some way had to be found to make it right—before the threat of danger overwhelmed all mankind.
