Book Description
We often wonder what ponders the minds of criminals and killers. Well, The Making of a Thug tells it all from the mind of Reginald Chestnut. Reginald grew up in Detroit as a normal child, wanting nothing but friendship and love from his family and friends. When he became the victim of bullying, it changed his whole outlook on life. As he grew older, he made a vow to himself to never be bullied again. This made him want to become someone who others would learn to fear and respect by any means necessary, even if that meant contemplating murder. Reginald became a member of the first known drug cartel to be ran by teenagers, which started in the city of Detroit, MI, Young Boys Incorporated (Y.B.I.). How he got there, how he stayed there, and if he will ever leave, is all told by Reginald Chestnut.

Book Description
Never in recorded history has there been a group of murderers as deadly as the Thugs. For nearly two centuries, groups of these lethal criminals haunted the roads of India, slaughtering travellers whom they met along the way with such efficiency that over the years tens of thousands of men, women and children simply vanished without trace. Mike Dash, one of our best popular historians, has devoted years to combing archives in both India and Britain to discover how the Thugs lived and worked. Painstakingly researched and grippingly written, Thug tells, for the first time the full story of the Thugs' rise and fall from the cult's beginnings in the late seventeenth century to its eventual demise at the hands of British East India Company officer William Sleeman in 1840.

Confessions of a Thug
Author: Philip Meadows Taylor
Publisher: RICHARD BENTLEY
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 809
Book Description
Confessions of a Thug Confessions of a Thug is an English novel written by Philip Meadows Taylor in 1839 based on the Thuggee cult in British India. Ameer Ali, the anti-hero protagonist of Confessions of a Thug, was said to be based on a real Thug called Syeed Amir Ali (or Feringhea), whom the author was acquainted with. Confessions of a Thug went on to become a bestseller in 19th century Britain. The story of the Thuggee cult was popularized by Confessions of a Thug, leading to the Hindi word "thug" entering the English language. The tale of crime which forms the subject of the following pages is, alas! almost all true; what there is of fiction has been supplied only to connect the events, and make the adventures of Ameer Ali as interesting as the nature of his horrible profession would permit me. In this manner Thuggee was found to be in active practice all over India. The knowledge of its existence was at first confined to the central provinces, but as men were apprehended from a distance, they gave information of others beyond them in the almost daily commission of murder: the circle gradually widened till it spread over the whole continent—and from the foot of the Himalayas to Cape Comorin, from Cutch to Assam, there was hardly a province in the whole of India where Thuggee had not been practised—where the statements of the informers were not confirmed by the disinterment of the dead!
