Book Description
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. Jeannette Marx lived in Cologne and was just twelve years old at the time. Still, she recalls being terribly frightened by the news. Her uncle, Benjamin Marx, a prominent Social Democrat in the Reichstag, knew Hitler posed a grave threat to German Jews. Before fleeing to London, Benjamin pleaded with Jeannette's father to leave Germany right away. Salomon refused. Like many other Germans at the time, he believed Hitler was "crazy" and would certainly not last. Nazi book burnings, physical attacks, and Kristallnacht, young Jeannette witnessed these traumatic events right where she lived. Forced to leave her family behind, this Jewish teenager barely escaped Germany on the Kindertransport. Not long after she arrived in London, she decided it was time to "get back at Hitler." Jeannette joined the World War II effort and signed on with the London Auxiliary Ambulance Service. When she was asked to choose an area to work in, she asked to be sent to the East End of the docks, where it was the worst. There, she would perform heroic acts of courage and valor as bombs fell all around. The sweet victory and celebration of Hitler's defeat would prove to be short-lived as Jeannette discovers the shocking truth about his Final solution. Had her parents and the rest of her family somehow escaped? Jeannette's own words, personal letters, and photographs, plus rare journal entries, illuminate and personalize this most difficult time in history.

Mr. New Orleans
Author: Matthew Randazzo V
Publisher: Mrv Entertainment LLC
ISBN: 9780692237489
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Wiseguys called him "the Keith Richards of the American Mafia" and JFK hero Jim Garrison denounced him as "one of the most notorious vice operators in the history of New Orleans" ... but you can just call him MR. NEW ORLEANS. Mr. New Orleans tells the incredible story of Frenchy Brouillette, a redneck Cajun teenager who stole his big brother's motorcycle and embarked on a 60-year vacation to New Orleans, where he became a legendary gangster and the underworld political fixer for his cousin, Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards. Written by Crescent City native Matthew Randazzo V, the wickedly funny Mr. New Orleans is the first book to ever break the code of secrecy of the New Orleans Mafia Family, the oldest and most mysterious criminal secret society in America. "Mr. New Orleans is a rollicking, disturbing ride through the underbelly of a bygone New Orleans, lined with moments of dark, side-splitting hilarity. If you're a fan of James Lee Burke, drop what you're reading and pick this one up. In an era when popular wisdom tells us T.V. has stolen all depth from the literary true-crime narrative, Matthew Randazzo has found a way to beat that trend mightily; he's gone straight to the source and captured the singular, confounding voice of the New Orleans' mafia's top political fixer with fast-paced, riveting prose and a fine journalist's eye for detail." Chris Rice, New York Times Bestselling Author "Mr. New Orleans is a total knockout: Take everything you ever imagined about the sleazy good times to be had in New Orleans -- the sleazy good times capital of America -- and quadruple it, and you have a hint of what's inside these sticky pages." Bill Tonelli, Author of The Italian American Reader and Editor for Esquire and Rolling Stone

Good Luck Frenchy
Author: Alain Olivier
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525537334
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
Being mistaken for someone else, being falsely depicted as an important international heroin importer and trafficker, and being made an unwilling accessory to murder aren’t everyday occurrences. Surely this is not how the police behave to get their man? But...what if they go further? What if, with the aid of a thuggish civil agent, the RCMP implement a buy and bust operation, a Final Solution to get rid of you? And what if a Mountie is killed in the process under very nebulous circumstances? A chilling scenario that becomes even more disconcerting when members of the RCMP commit perjury to insure your conviction and cover up the true circumstances surrounding their colleague’s death. But, what about you being sentenced to death as a result of this and a trial littered with lying witnesses and tainted evidence that sends you on a path meant to shatter your already broken life? And...what if, in the end, Canadian legal institutions and ministries opt to defend the undefendable in order to protect the RCMP’s integrity and the image of Canada? Known as Bang Kwang prison inmate 482/33, my name is Alain Olivier. I learned first-hand what it means to be treated as expendable when the RCMP screws things up during a sketchy buy & bust operation oversea. This was my struggle against all odds to survive in the jungle of Bang Kwang prison, a true story that has something for everyone—drugs, murder, threats, violence, conflict of interest, political corruption, coverups, and my faint hope that the Canadian government would come to its senses and bring me home.
