From one of America’s most respected historians, “The Conquerors” reveals one of the most important stories of World War II. As Allied soldiers fought the Nazis, Franklin Roosevelt and, later Harry Truman fought in private with Churchill and Stalin over how to ensure that Germany could never threaten the world again.Eleven years in the writing, drawing on newly opened American, Soviet, and British documents as well as private diaries, letters and secret audio recordings, this audiobook let us eavesdrop on private conversations and telephone calls among a cast of historical giants. “The Conquerors” casts new light upon Roosevelt’s concealment of what America knew about Hitler’s war against the Jews and his foot-dragging on saving refugees; FDR’s actions so shocked his closest friend in the Cabinet, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., that Morgenthau risked their friendship by accusing the President of “acquiescence” in the “murder of the Jews.”
“The Conquerors” explores suspicions that Soviet secret agents manipulated Roosevelt and his official to do Stalin’s bidding on Germany. It reveals new information on FDR’s hidden illnesses and how they affected his leadership and his private talk about quitting his job during his fourth term and letting Henry Truman become President. Finally it shows how unprepared new President Truman managed to pick up the piecesand push Stalin and Churchill to accede to a bargain that would let the Anglo-Americans block Soviet threats against Western Europe and ensure that the world would not have to fear another Adolf Hitler.

How to use or convert .opus files:
This format is used by, e.g., SoundCloud and YouTube and many system can already play .opus filess (possibly including Apple/iOS). Andriod supports .opus natively, including apps such as Smart Audiobook Player. VLC will play .opus files as well. Sometimes OSs/applications might not recognize and associate “.opus”. In that case, changing the extentions to .ogg may solve the problem. (In bash: for i in *.opus; do mv “$i” “${i%.*}”.ogg; done).
Alternately, you may want to convert them to something else. To convert from .opus to .mp3 w/ffmpeg in bash: for file in *.opus; do ffmpeg -i “$file” -q:a 8 “${file%.*}”.mp3; done
There are versions of ffmpeg for windows and OSX. You’ll have to investigate how to create a loop in those operating systems, however, in iOS you should be able to use the bash systax above.
You can also use VLC to convert files across platforms. FFmpegx is an appliaction for file conversion in OSX.

“Andriod supports .opus…including…Smart Audiobook Player.” - iconoclasthero
Wow, thank you. That’s the app I use. I didn’t know that it would work.

The last file (…Disc 06.opus) ends prematurely. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
February 20th, 2020
Same as PMONRO, the last file is cut off. Looking online, total runtime should be ~6 hours 22 min…this one is just over 6 hours, so it looks like ~20 min is missing.

Unfortunately, this is the only copy I have, the library doesn’t have a copy, and I don’t know where I got it…
FWIW, mediainfo lists the total duration as 06:00:55 so it is indeed short of 06:22.
Spoiler alert: the Nazis are defeated.
