Book Synopsis Giggy Memoir of a Witness by : Pettway Jerry
Download or read book Giggy Memoir of a Witness written by Pettway Jerry and published by . This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basis for this story came to the author from a dream in November of 1998. It was such a real and memorable dream, encompassing parts of the third quarter of the story, the author spent six months thinking about who these people might be in a real-life scenario. Where did they come from, what led them to do what they are doing, and why would they do what they did? The six months of thought gave good answers to all such questions. So this first-time author sat down in April of 1999 and started writing from page one. The thoughts, people, places and things spilled forth as the rough manuscript was written straight through to the end. The dream that sparked this dedicated frenzy into the unknown was about a small band of outlaws in the last months of World War II, who had kidnapped a touring baseball team to hide among the players on a private bus. The tour was from Colorado to the northern Montana area where the little gang's goal was to cross the border into the safety of Canada. Early, in the developing story, the lead character, Henry Lapointe, tells his little gang that they must pull a robbery off without shooting a soul. "If you kill a cop, there ain't a sundown that can hide you!" They end up on the run, looking for just such a sundown! This original, fictional story is told against the real backdrop of the home front during the Second World War. Every day is time stamped with 1945's calendar and little windows are opened for the reader to view past the characters into the reality, the ironies, and horrors of that war. It is the Author's intent that the reader's entertainment be the first result of the book. If a second result is a little more awareness of the civilized world's greatest manmade human disaster, then maybe we will move just a little bit further away from repeating history.

Download or read book Tainted Witness written by Leigh Gilmore and published by Gender and Culture. This book was released on 2018-08-04 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1991, Anita Hill's testimony during Clarence Thomas's Senate confirmation hearing brought the problem of sexual harassment to a public audience. Although widely believed by women, Hill was defamed by conservatives and Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. The tainting of Hill and her testimony is part of a larger social history in which women find themselves caught up in a system that refuses to believe what they say. Hill's experience shows how a tainted witness is not who someone is, but what someone can become. Tainted Witness examines how gender, race, and doubt stick to women witnesses as their testimony circulates in search of an adequate witness. Judgment falls unequally upon women who bear witness, as well-known conflicts about testimonial authority in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries reveal. Women's testimonial accounts demonstrate both the symbolic potency of women's bodies and speech in the public sphere and the relative lack of institutional security and control to which they can lay claim. Each testimonial act follows in the wake of a long and invidious association of race and gender with lying that can be found to this day within legal courts and everyday practices of judgment, defining these locations as willfully unknowing and hostile to complex accounts of harm. Bringing together feminist, literary, and legal frameworks, Leigh Gilmore provides provocative readings of what happens when women's testimony is discredited. She demonstrates how testimony crosses jurisdictions, publics, and the unsteady line between truth and fiction in search of justice."--Jacket.
Download or read book The Truth Book written by Joy Castro and published by Arcade Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You must always, always tell the truth, no matter the consequences, for you must model yourself on Jehovah, and Jehovah does not lie. This is the most crucial rule of all, Joy Castro is told as a young girl in a Jehovahs Witness family. Joy is 12 years old when her divorced mother marries a brother in the church. He is highly respected in the community, having displayed the ultimate sign of spiritual devotion: he served at Bethel, the Watchtower headquarters in Brooklyn. At home, however, he is a despicable brute. For the two years her mother is married to him, Joy does not grow at all; in fact, she loses 16 pounds, an eloquent testimony to the physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse she suffers at his hands. Her battered mother does nothing to protect her, nor does her church. She is sustained by a consuming fascination for horses and books and her protective love for her younger brother. Their daring escape from this unspeakable cruelty, to discover a nurturing home with their father, is the key to their survival and salvation.
Download or read book Witness written by Louise Milligan and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful and deeply troubling exposé, Witness is the culmination of almost five years' work for award-winning investigative journalist Louise Milligan. Charting the experiences of those who have the courage to come forward and face their abusers in high-profile child abuse and sexual assault cases, Milligan was profoundly shocked by what she found. During this time, the #MeToo movement changed the zeitgeist, but time and again during her investigations Milligan watched how witnesses were treated in the courtroom and listened to them afterwards as they relived the associated trauma. Then she was a witness herself in the trial of the decade, R v George Pell. Through these experiences, interviews with high-profile members of the legal profession, including judges, prosecutors and the defence lawyers who have worked in these cases, along with never-before-published court transcripts, Milligan lays bare the flaws that are ignored and exposes a court system that is sexist, unfeeling and weighted towards the rich and powerful. In Witness, Milligan reveals the devastating reality that within the Australian legal system truth is never guaranteed and, for victims, justice is often elusive. And even when they get justice, the process is so bruising, they wish they had never tried.

Book Synopsis The President Street Boys by : Frank Dimatteo
Download or read book The President Street Boys written by Frank Dimatteo and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This true crime memoir of 1950s Brooklyn shares a revealing look at life inside the Mafia at the height of its power. Frank Dimatteo was born into a family of mob hitmen. His father and godfather were shooters and bodyguards for infamous Mafia legends the Gallo brothers. His uncle was a capo in the Genovese crime family and bodyguard to Frank Costello. With family connections like those, Frank knew everybody in the neighborhood—and they knew him. After dropping out of high school, Frank lived gangster-style with the boys on President Street. In this lively memoir, Frank tells it like it really was growing up in the mob. He shares wild stories about everyone from the old-school Mafia dons and infamous “five families” to the new-breed “independents” who didn’t answer to nobody. He had a front row seat as the Gallo gang waged war against wiseguys with more power, more money, and more guns. And he reveals the shocking deathbed confessions that will blow the lid off the sordid deeds, stunning betrayals, and all-too-secret history of the American Mafia. The President Street Boys was originally self-published as Lion in the Basement.

Book Synopsis Lord High Executioner by : Frank Dimatteo
Download or read book Lord High Executioner written by Frank Dimatteo and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bloodsoaked saga of the Murder, Inc. legend who helped create the modern American Mafia—one body at a time—featuring shocking eyewitness accounts . . . Umberto “Albert” Anastasia was born in Italy at the turn of the century. Five decades later, he would be gunned down in a barber shop in New York City. What happened in the years in between—and why every crime family had reason to want him dead—is one of the most brutal and fascinating stories in the history of American organized crime. This in-depth account of the man who became one of the most powerful and homicidal crime bosses of the twentieth century from Mafia insider and co-author Frank Dimatteo is the first full-length book to chronicle Anastasia’s bloody rise from fresh-off-the-boat immigrant to founder of the notorious killer’s club Murder, Inc.—featuring never-before-told accounts from those who feared him most . . . They called him “The One Man Army.” “Mad Hatter.” “Lord High Executioner.” Albert Anastasia came to America mean and became a prolific killer. His merciless assassination of Mafia godfather Vincent Mangano is recounted here in chilling first-hand detail. He set the record: the first man in the history of American justice to be charged with four separate murders—and walk free after each one. But in the end, he was the last obstacle in rival Mafia hoodlum Vito Genovese’s dream of becoming the boss of bosses—and paid the ultimate price . . .

Book Synopsis Carmine the Snake by : Frank Dimatteo
Download or read book Carmine the Snake written by Frank Dimatteo and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This true crime biography by a Mafia insider chronicles the hair-raising life of the notorious Colombo crime family boss. In the golden age of organized crime, Carmine “The Snake” Persico was the King of the Streets. The defacto boss of the Colombo Mafia family since the 1970s, he oversaw major rackets and legendary gang wars. Suspected of committing scores of murders and ordering hundreds more, he was sentenced to 139 years in federal prison. Yet even behind bars he continued to exert power over a vast criminal empire with the help of his brother, Alphonse "Allie Boy" Persico. In this blistering street-level account, “Mafia survivor” Frank Dimatteo teams up with veteran true-crime author Michael Benson to reveal the inside story of Carmine’s criminal career. Growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn, Carmine got an early start as the leader of the fearsome Garfield Boys. He was recruited into the Profaci and Colombo crime families before his bloody betrayal of the Gallo brothers. This volume captures all the drama of Carmine’s infamous exploits—including his role in the ambush-slaying of Albert Anastasia—and the many courtroom trials where witnesses against him came down with sudden cases of amnesia.

Download or read book Choosing Against War written by John Roth and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By a leading writer and thinker. How might Christians look on the world differently if they actually believed that God's love is indeed stronger than our fears? In fresh, confessional language, Roth shares his convictions about Christian pacifism, inviting others to consider this approach, all the while humbly admitting the difficulties. In the face of violence, are there any options open to the Christian believer other than the "default" impulse toward patriotic unity and a steely determination to exact "an eye for an eye"? A must-read for anyone concerned about the endless cycles of wars and violence, and the possibility that God's love is stronger than our society's current answers.
