Ambush
Author: Ted Hinton
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781681791579
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
The story of Bonnie and Clyde--their love, their desperate killings, and their destruction in an explosion of gun fire--has fueled an American legend more than seventy years. But it is only with this book by the last surviving officer of the six who shot Bonnie and Clyde that the full story of their capture has been told. Ted Hinton's description of a secret, illegal police trap--hidden at the time from the press and public--is one of many revelations he draws from his intimate knowledge of the greatest manhunt of the 1930s. As a Dallas lawman he spent seventeen months, night and day, on the trail of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. He knew the notorious criminals personally from the seamy, hoodlum-ridden Dallas neighborhoods where they all grew up. He shared their code of toughness and genuinely admired the extraordinary courage, skill, and loyalty that made Bonnie and Clyde stand out almost as heroes in the public imagination. Hinton admired them, but he never doubted that they had to be stopped. The long trail could only end in a shootout and their deaths-or his. Hinton's experiences as a green young sheriff's deputy and his compassion for outlaw lovers give Ambush an unusual dimension of humanity. Twenty-seven photographs underscore the book's vivid authenticity. And the author's meticulous research, using sources available to no one else, makes this the definitive work of fact. The result is a powerful human drama of crime and the law: the real story of Bonnie and Clyde.

Buharism
Author: Emeka Nwankwor
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525583247
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This book poses the question: When does a President lose the moral authority to lead? • Is it when he steals an election and usurps the presidential mandate the people had given his primary challenger? • Is it when he orchestrates sectarian-inspired massacre of his people and turns his country into the biggest human abattoir on the face of the earth? • Is it when he bares his fangs on peaceful protesting citizens but turns a blind eye on terrorists who butcher defenseless citizens? • Is it when he creates industrial-scale poverty in proportions that makes his country the world’s largest concentration camp of people living in extreme poverty? This book provides an overview of Nigeria’s history to the present day, with specific focus on the current government led by President Muhammadu Buhari. It catalogs the unmitigated failures and the endless buffoonery that have become the hallmark of Buhari’s government since 2015. As a political philosophy, Buharism is the art and science of incompetency. It means failure, and there is nothing rational about it. But as Nigeria dithers on a precipice, Buharism: Nigeria’s Death Knell offers a corrective measure to rescue the country. Rebellion against failure and incompetence is an act of honor. This honor is intrinsic to the rebel the way treachery and sycophancy are intrinsic to those who seek to entrench and sustain the status quo. Weaving between logical analysis and personal experience, the author draws upon a series of insights to offer perspective on why Nigerians are morally obligated to rebel against the “leadership” of an illegitimate President. It’s time to kindle a fire that will make Nigerians understand that it would be a monumental mistake to sit idly by a calendar and countdown the days to May 29, 2023. Nigeria is at risk of an imminent collapse. To sacrifice President Buhari and his government is national interest premised on realism.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
Ten years after the final events of the original novel Swordbane, a new adventure and plot unfolds. The heroes of the elite Order of the Comradery find themselves separated while pursuing and confronting a cultist caravan of the departed but glorified dark lord Dux Decius. Upon their ensuing confrontation, Marin and Linitus of the Comradery escape the ensuing turmoil of a collapsing cave mine by taking a portal to a faraway land in the north known as Shimmerfrost. Upon arriving, these two heroes must rely on each other for survival in a very hostile, cold, and unfamiliar land while uncovering a plot by a new villainous regional overlord known as Helskadi, the Winter Death Witch, who is poised to solidify her dominance over all the various beings of the region while relying heavily on her horde army of beastly creatures and the necromantic powers of a mysterious vassal of hers known as Wendigo. Eventually while seeking to return home, Marin and Linitus cross paths with various local inhabitants, including human Nordlings and an exotic group of anthropomorphic sentient beings known as dyr folk. Marin and Linitus set out to build a new alliance between these two groups after previously feuding with each other for countless years. Only through uniting these two groups can Marin and Linitus hope to have a chance of prevailing against Helskadi’s dark forces that threaten to usher in a new era of darkness in the region. Meanwhile, Duchess Lucia Diem, upon sacrificing her life for her son Lucianus to escape in the earlier confrontation against the Comradery, now finds herself in the presence of the deity spirit of death, Calu. Surprising the deity spirit by rejecting her intended destination of being united with many of her ancestors in the paradise of Caelum, Lucia instead chooses to be sent to the fiery realm of condemnation known as Hadao Infernum out of utter devotion to unite with her late lover, Decius. Upon uniting in the fiery realm of hell, the two soulmates rekindle their bond. They come to a new understanding together of their present abode while forging a new dark path of domination. Decius, with Lucia at his side, seeks to make a last bid to claim the title of the supreme dark lord of hell while waging a new war against the realm’s current reigning occupant, Orcus, the Lord of Punishment.

A History of Modern Tibet, Volume 4
Author: Melvyn C. Goldstein
Publisher: University of California Press
ISBN: 0520278550
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 613
Book Description
It is not possible to understand contemporary politics between China and the Dalai Lama without understanding what happened in the 1950s, especially the events that occurred in 1957–59. The fourth volume of Melvyn C. Goldstein's History of Modern Tibet series, In the Eye of the Storm, provides new perspectives on Sino-Tibetan history during the period leading to the Tibetan Uprising of 1959. The volume also reassesses issues that have been widely misunderstood as well as stereotypes and misrepresentations in the popular realm and in academic literature (such as in Mao’s policies on Tibet). Volume 4 draws on important new Chinese government documents, published and unpublished memoirs, new biographies, and a large corpus of in-depth, specially collected political interviews to reexamine the events that produced the March 10th uprising and the demise of Tibet’s famous Buddhist civilization. The result is a heavily documented analysis that presents a nuanced and balanced account of the principal players and their policies during the critical final two years of Sino-Tibetan relations under the Seventeen-Point Agreement of 1951.
