Book Description
A former police officer shares his investigative journey into anarchy, revealing unpopular truths that many people find to be discomforting. The author spent his adult life with a particular view of anarchism. After retiring from law enforcement, he became interested in philosophy, morality, reason, logic and being the best darn him that he could build. This included relational, financial and philosophical arenas. Having married the best human on earth and having built businesses earning millions, he focused on philosophy. Anarchism came to his attention, and like a detective with a magnifying glass, he peered into a world that most are frightened of and hope to ignore. Anarchy. Driven by a search for truth and not giving many poops (Shepard helped put away a Mexican Mafia member who sodomized an 8-yr-old girl. He views each day as a surprise gift, shocked that he hasn't been taken out yet), Shepard sheds dogma and seeks absolute, unedited truth. You probably won't like it. It would be much intellectually easier to buy a Dr. Seuss book that has not been canceled.

New York Exposed
Author: Daniel Czitrom
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199837015
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
On a Sunday morning in early 1892, Reverend Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst ascended to his pulpit at the Madison Square Presbyterian Church in New York and delivered one of the most explosive sermons in the city's history. Municipal life, he charged, was morally corrupt. Vice was rampant. And the city's police force and its Tammany Hall politicians were"a lying, perjured, rum-soaked, and libidinous lot." Denounced by city and police officials as a self-righteous "blatherskite," Parkhurst resolved to prove his case. The bespectacled minister descended his pulpit and in disguise visited gin joints and brothels, taking notes and gathering evidence. Two years later, his findings forced the New York State Senate to investigate the New York Police Department. The Lexow Committee heard testimony from nearly 700 witnesses, who revealed in shocking-and headline-dominating-detail just how deeply the NYPD was involved in, and benefitted from, the vice economy. Parkhurst's campaign had kick-started the Progressive Movement. New York Exposed offers a narrative history of the first major crusade to clean up Gotham. Daniel Czitrom does full justice to this spellbinding story by telling it within the larger contexts of national politics, poverty, patronage, vote fraud and vote suppression, and police violence. The effort to root out corrupt cops and crooked politicians morphed into something much more profound: a public reckoning over what New York-and the American city-had become since the Civil War. Animated by as vivid a cast as New York has ever produced, the book's key characters include Police Superintendent Thomas Byrnes and Inspector Alexander "Clubber" Williams, the nation's most famous cops, as well as anarchist revolutionary Emma Goldman, the zealous prosecutor John W. Goff, and an array of politicos, immigrant leaders, labor bosses, prostitutes, show-business entrepreneurs, counterfeiters, and reformers and muckrakers determined to change business as usual. New York Exposed offers an unforgettable portrait of a city in a truly transformative moment.

Against Anarchy
Author: Cord-Christian Casper
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110645874
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 666
Book Description
'Against Anarchy' investigates the function of Anarchism in Early Modernist political fiction. The study explains how political novels from 1886 to 1911 narrate and evaluate the function of Anarchists as embodiments of a radical space beyond politics. The literary prevalence of Anarchists has so far not been connected systematically to its literary and political functions. The study addresses this research gap in detailed analyses of a radical theme in narratives by Joseph Conrad, Henry James, and G.K. Chesterton. It shows that each novel presents strategies of demarcation that allow turn-of-the-century Britain to project its cultural anxieties upon an imagined other, the dreaded figure labelled ‘Anarchist’. The political radical is set up as the foil against which comforting self-descriptions can be maintained. Rather than merely reproducing this boundary work, however, the novels also evaluate its function, both for the respective political system and for their own narrative capabilities — and present the consequences incurred by the loss of an anarchist outside. 'Against Anarchy' is a thorough cultural historiography of the politically other and marginal. At the same time, the study demonstrates that close attention to the specific literary image of Anarchism allows for a re-evaluation of political thought beyond its immediate historical moment — a literary political theory in its own right.
