The Man Who Never Died
Author: William M. Adler
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1608192857
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 649
Book Description
In 1914, Joe Hill was convicted of murder in Utah and sentenced to death by firing squad, igniting international controversy. Many believed Hill was innocent, condemned for his association with the Industrial Workers of the World-the radical Wobblies. Now, following four years of intensive investigation, William M. Adler gives us the first full-scale biography of Joe Hill, and presents never before published documentary evidence that comes as close as one can to definitively exonerating him. Joe Hill's gripping tale is set against a brief but electrifying moment in American history, between the century's turn and World War I, when the call for industrial unionism struck a deep chord among disenfranchised workers; when class warfare raged and capitalism was on the run. Hill was the union's preeminent songwriter, and in death, he became organized labor's most venerated martyr, celebrated by Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, and immortalized in the ballad "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night." The Man Who Never Died does justice to Joe Hill's extraordinary life and its controversial end. Drawing on extensive new evidence, Adler deconstructs the case against his subject and argues convincingly for the guilt of another man. Reading like a murder mystery, and set against the background of the raw, turn-of-the-century West, this essential American story will make news and expose the roots of critical contemporary issues.

The Man who Never Died
Author: Gerald T. Brennan
Publisher: Sophia Institute Press
ISBN: 1933184094
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
Most kids think of popes as old men who live quiet lives in the Vatican. In fact, danger surrounds every pope. From John Paul II (who was shot) all the way back to the first pope, the men God places in charge of His Church have been hated and attacked for their goodness and for the good the Church does. The Man Who Never Died recounts the adventures of the apostle Peter, the first pope, and explains how Peter, in giving his name and responsibilities to all the popes who follow him, became the man who never died: fulfilling the promise that Jesus made to him: "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church," the Church that remains standing today, and will last until the end of time.

The Do-Or-Die Men
Author: George W. Smith
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743490371
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
The gripping true account of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion—from its formation and training to its heroic baptism under fire in the battles of Tulagi and Guadalcanal. No campaign in World War II was undertaken with as many shortcomings as Operation Watchtower—the invasion of Guadalcanal in the summer of 1942. Rushed into action with little training, virtually no enemy intelligence, and using equipment left over from World War I, the gutsy-but-green men of the 1st Marine Division and its attached units were thrown headlong into what would become one of the bloodiest battles of the war. During almost four trying months of constant shelling, bombing, and ground attacks, the 1st Marine Division defied all the odds and somehow managed to beat the hardened Japanese troops at their own game. No campaign in World War II was conducted with as much ferocity. No campaign saw such sustained violence on land, at sea, and in the air. And no other campaign hung in the balance for so long—to finally be won by the unrelenting courage of a group of American heroes who never gave up the fight.
