Do the words "Free public domain audiobooks, read by human volunteers from around the world." excite you?
Just turned 20 years old!

Andrew Feinstein - The Shadow World Inside the Global Arms Trade
The shadow world Feinstein describes is the never fully legal arms trade.
Ranging from the deepest darkness of selling stolen weapon systems using falsified documents to ruthless murderers to the 'business as usual' bribery that is almost out in the open and is perpetrated by (family & friends) of the people we put in power.
Mapping the shadow world is like mapping a delta, the networks are ever changing, even if there are major streams that keep on re-appearing. The book is meandering through huge amounts of facts.
Not an easy read(/listen) nor a uplifting one.
Reread as a precursor to 'monstrous anger of the guns'.

Is there a site that lists ALL proper nouns in a #book? Like a more comprehensive dramatis personae: people, places, institutions... maybe even foods?
As a voracious consumer of #audiobooks, I often end up looking for an ebook as well – then I can scan by % read, or search via a rare word nearby, while trying to avoid spoilers. It ain't optimal
