Book Description
'A gripping, fast-paced read stuffed full of atmosphere and murder most foul' Red The second book in the acclaimed new historical crime series following on from the Richard & Judy Book Club 2019 pick, The House on Half Moon Street. It's been a year since Leo Stanhope lost the woman he loved, and came closing to losing his own life. Now, more than ever, he is determined to keep his head down and stay safe, without risking those he holds dear. But Leo's hopes for peace and security are shattered when the police unexpectedly arrive at his lodgings: a woman has been found murdered at a club for anarchists, and Leo's address is in her purse. When Leo is taken to the club by the police, he is shocked to discover there a man from his past, a man who knows Leo's birth identity. And if Leo does not provide him with an alibi for the night of the woman's killing, he is going to share this information with the authorities. If Leo's true identity is unmasked, he will be thrown into an asylum, but if he lies... will he be protecting a murderer?

The Dynamite Club
Author: John M. Merriman
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300217935
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Distinguished historian John Merriman maintains that the Age of Modern Terror began in Paris on February 12, 1894, when anarchist Emile Henry set off a bomb in the Café Terminus, killing one and wounding twenty French citizens. The true story of the circumstances that led a young radical to commit a cold-blooded act of violence against innocent civilians makes for riveting reading, shedding new light on the terrorist mindset and on the subsequent worldwide rise of anarchism by deed. Merriman’s fascinating study of modern history’s first terrorists, emboldened by the invention of dynamite, reveals much about the terror of today.

Book Description
What is this place, this way of life, this A Club that so many risk so much to join and others look to exploit.from without and from within? Since the beginning, this place, we now call the US of A, has been built by people from all over the earth. Some as explorers, some as exploiters, some as settlers, and some as founding colonists.The USA has also been shaped by slaves, immigrants, convicts, and natives. America is a magnet that attracts the restless and creative from every foreign land. The A Club? What's The A Club? The A in A Club stands for Americans. Therefore, The A Club is The Americans Club. The United States of Americans. Or as some pronounce it; Amrca. Specifically that group of American Citizens declared on the 2nd & 4th of July, 1776 starting as the thirteen united States of America at 2.3 million people* and continuing unbroken to today @ 289 million citizens strong and counting. 4 million of these American Citizens are paying their dues to the A Club from their homes on foreign soil. There are another 14 million foreigners living here, some legally and most illegally, some in our system to work and others to work the system. Some visitors are here waiting in line to contribute their part as full-fledged legal American citizens, some are here temporarily to soak up America and return to their countries to apply lessons learned and some are here to work the system, to sponge off our prosperity, exploit our open society, contribute the bare minimum (sounds like some native-born Americans we hear about), all while staying loyal to foreign soil. America is the Big Show that millions line up for miles just to get tickets to and for those entering fromthe south; we're the World Cup Soccer/Futbol Championship Game between Mexico and the USA. Will The A Club or the M Club emerge as victor? Or will both win for the common good? Of the world.

The Anarchist Inquisition
Author: Mark Bray
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501761935
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The Anarchist Inquisition explores the groundbreaking transnational human rights campaigns that emerged in response to a brutal wave of repression unleashed by the Spanish state to quash anarchist activities at the turn of the twentieth century. Mark Bray guides readers through this tumultuous era—from backroom meetings in Paris and torture chambers in Barcelona, to international antiterrorist conferences in Rome and human rights demonstrations in Buenos Aires. Anarchist bombings in theaters and cafes in the 1890s provoked mass arrests, the passage of harsh anti-anarchist laws, and executions in France and Spain. Yet, far from a marginal phenomenon, this first international terrorist threat had profound ramifications for the broader development of human rights, as well as modern global policing, and international legislation on extradition and migration. A transnational network of journalists, lawyers, union activists, anarchists, and other dissidents related peninsular torture to Spain's brutal suppression of colonial revolts in Cuba and the Philippines to craft a nascent human rights movement against the "revival of the Inquisition." Ultimately their efforts compelled the monarchy to accede in the face of unprecedented global criticism. Bray draws a vivid picture of the assassins, activists, torturers, and martyrs whose struggles set the stage for a previously unexamined era of human rights mobilization. Rather than assuming that human rights struggles and "terrorism" are inherently contradictory forces, The Anarchist Inquisition analyzes how these two modern political phenomena worked in tandem to constitute dynamic campaigns against Spanish atrocities.

The Anarchists' Club
Author: Alex Reeve
Publisher: FelonyandMayhem+ORM
ISBN: 1631942387
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
A blackmailer and a corpse found carrying his name and address stir up trouble for a transgender man living in Victorian London. It’s tough to be a preacher’s kid, and for Leo Stanhope it may be harder than for most. He was born Charlotte, and in the Reverend Pritchard’s home—as in all of Victoria’s England—there is little room for persons unwilling to know their place and stick to it. And things are about to get harder: There’s a gentleman who knows the secret that could get Leo locked up for life, and this so-called gentleman is not above a spot of blackmail. There is a bright spot, though, in the form of two little kids who are teaching Leo’s heart to open again after a wretched year. In warming to them, he realizes how much more he has to learn. Leo knows how to be a man. Now he must learn to be a father. “Well-crafted. . . . In this nicely plotted puzzle, Reeve movingly explores Leo’s inner life. Readers will hope he’ll return soon.” —Publishers Weekly “The Anarchists’ Club culls dark Victoriana and the warped effects of love in its story that features classic red herrings, chases, and Leo’s unflinching sense of justice, all adding up to an intricate, satisfying mystery.” —Foreword Reviews

The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book."

There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers.
