  From best-selling author of Tail-End Charlie and Tornado Down comes this powerful and deeply moving account of Bomber Command’s 1944 Nuremberg Raid – the RAF’s bloodiest night of the Second World War 
  More men from Royal Air Force Bomber Command died on one single night of the Second World War than the total RAF aircrew losses during the whole of the four-month-long Battle of Britain. 
  This is the story of the air raid intended to be the climax of Sir Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris’s relentless campaign to defeat Nazi Germany. The target was Nuremberg: 795 aircraft set out, nearly 700 men did not return. In ‘The Red Line’, we meet the young aircrew who flew on the night of 30 March 1944. John Nichol has interviewed the few surviving veterans, British and German, in the air and on the ground, to record the voices of a diminishing generation. 
  While the airmen of Bomber Command were among the greatest heroes of the conflict, their contribution and sacrifice has, until recently, been sidelined in the face of post-war criticism of Bomber Command’s tactics. Yet they were among the best of their generation. John Nichol’s dramatic tribute to the men who flew on the RAF’s bloodiest raid has provided the surviving veterans with the chance to tell the story of that terrible night – the night they flew to Nuremberg. 
  In this Sunday Times bestselling book, John Nichol, a top author in the genre of military history, brings to life the harrowing experiences of the brave airmen. The Red Line is a testament to their courage, a story that needed to be told. 
  For fans of Will Iredale (The Pathfinders), David Price (The Crew), Gregory A. Freeman (The Forgotten 500), James Holland (The Savage Storm), and Paul Beaver (Winkle).

  Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the 1960s hippie, LSD fueled revolution. Thereafter, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das, whose 1970s iconic book, Be Here Now, turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all. Author Geoffrey Giuliano became friends with Ram Das in the early '70s and traveled America playing Indian drums at his speaking engagements. During that time the two discussed the publication of some of his lectures but nothing was ever done and the two lost touch. Now, finally, after all these years, Giuliano keeps his promise to his old friend, publishing this original audio history of one of our most inspired and cherished spiritual teachers.  Geoffrey Giuliano will donate all of his proceeds from this work to the Vrndavan Widows & Children's Fund of India via Sri Radhe International Inc., a New York State charity.Music by AudioNautix.

  Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (2 May 1892 – 21 April 1918), also widely known as the Red Baron, was a German fighter pilot with the Imperial German Army Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte) during World War I. He is considered the top ace of that war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories.Originally a cavalryman, Richthofen transferred to the Air Service in 1915, becoming one of the first members of Jasta 2 in 1916. He quickly distinguished himself as a fighter pilot, and during 1917 became leader of Jasta 11 and then the larger unit Jagdgeschwader 1 (better known as the "Flying Circus"). By 1918, he was regarded as a national hero in Germany, and was very well known by the other side.Richthofen was shot down and killed near Amiens on 21 April 1918. There has been considerable discussion and debate regarding aspects of his career, especially the circumstances of his death. He remains perhaps the most widely known fighter pilot of all time. This recording is a short autobiography of Manfred von Richthofen. For information, the Ordre Pour le Mérite, was also known by the flyers as The Blue Max. (Summary by Wikipedia and Tom Weiss)
