The gritty, no-holds-barred account of the 1987 NBA season, a thrilling year of fierce battles and off-the-court drama between Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, and Michael Jordan-from New York Times bestselling author Rich Cohen. Four historic teams. Four legendary players. One unforgettable season. The 1980s were a transformative decade for the NBA. Since its founding in 1946, the league had evolved from a bruising, earthbound game of mostly nameless, underpaid players to one in which athletes became household names for their thrilling, physics-defying play. The 1987-88 season was the peak of that golden era, a year of incredible drama that featured a pantheon of superstars in their prime-the most future Hall of Famers competing at one time in any given season-battling for the title, and for their respective legacies.

English | ASIN: B0C9R9TTX3 | 2023 | 22 hours and 57 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 631 MB
Author: Phillips Payson O’Brien
Narrator: Peter Noble
World War II is usually seen as a titanic land battle, decided by mass armies, most importantly those on the Eastern Front. Phillips Payson O’Brien shows us the war in a completely different light. In this compelling new history of the Allied path to victory, he argues that in terms of production, technology, and economic power, the war was far more a contest of air and sea than of land supremacy. He shows how the Allies developed a predominance of air and sea power which put unbearable pressure on Germany and Japan’s entire war-fighting machine from Europe and the Mediterranean to the Pacific. Air and sea power dramatically expanded the area of battle and allowed the Allies to destroy over half of the Axis’s equipment before it had even reached the traditional ‘battlefield’. Battles such as El Alamein, Stalingrad, and Kursk did not win World War II; air and sea power did.
