Nikolaus Wachsmann; read by Paul Hodgson
In a landmark work of history, Nikolaus Wachsmann offers an unprecedented, integrated account of the Nazi concentration camps from their inception in 1933 through their demise, seventy years ago, in the spring of 1945. The Third Reich has been studied in more depth than virtually any other period in history, and yet until now there has been no history of the camp system that tells the full story of its broad development and the everyday experiences of its inhabitants, both perpetrators and victims, and all those living in what Primo Levi called the gray zone.

The Last Kings of Macedonia and the Triumph of Rome
by Ian Worthington; read by Gareth Richards
Viewed as postscripts to the kingdom's heyday, the last Macedonian kings (Philip V, his son Perseus, and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI) have often been denounced for self-serving ambitions, flawed policies, and questionable personal qualities. Likewise, they have been condemned for defeats by Rome that saw both the end of the monarchy and the fall of the formidable Macedonian phalanx before the Roman legion. In The Last Kings of Macedonia and the Triumph of Rome, Ian Worthington reassesses these three kings and demonstrates how such denunciations are inaccurate. Learn More
