Book excerpt: Don Ross was an Oklahoma State Legislator for over 20 years, a civil rights activist, and a journalist. "Pillage of Hope" is a testimony to his dedication to righting this massacre's horrible wrong. This memoir sheds light on what led to the success of Black Wall Street; the culture of white supremacist laws and culture that nurtured the enemies of the success of the Greenwood Community - BLACK WALL STREET. It all exploded on May 31st, 1921 which resulted in the decimation of an entire community and destroyed not only the legacy of those families but their generational wealth as well. Representative Ross began telling this story in the late sixties, and when he was elected to the Oklahoma State House of Representatives in the eighties, he was given a larger microphone. Even with the larger microphone, he could not get one person or organization to stand with him to seek justice and recompense. It wasn't until he started getting traction with commissioning the "Tulsa Race Riot Report" and the building of the Greenwood Cultural Center that he starts getting buy-in from others. But even with that, people weren't as interested in telling the story or uncovering "Tulsa's Dirty Little Secret", but in what ways they can profit from his life's work and heavy lifting. The only thing that has changed is that now it's getting national attention. The profiteers are still out there, but the story is being told! The aftermath of this massacre left a permanent scar not only on the Greenwood community (which, by the way, was a 35+ block community, not just one street) but on Tulsa, Oklahoma as well. The community never fully recovered, the people were never made whole on their loss, and ironically there are lifetime residents of Tulsa who are recently hearing about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Consequently, Tulsa has not reached its fullest potential because of this hated and jealousy of a prosperous black community in the early 1900s. I hope that you enjoy this memoir, and do a couple of things, do your own research and educate yourself, tell somebody about what you've learned, and finally, if you hear something that is inconsistent with the truth, correct the record. Remember and Never Forget! Black Wall Street! Edward Ross

Book excerpt: "Nomi knows. Having been at Goldman Sachs, Nomi Prins knows the mind-set, knows how to read spreadsheets, knows the people, and knows Wall Street's games. Nomi knows and now Nomi tells." --Jim Hightower, author of "Swim against the Current" "If you want to understand why Wall Street is disgraced but still calling the shots, you can't do better than the brilliantly written and documented It Takes a Pillage." --Robert Kuttner, author of "Obama's Challenge" After months of various drafts and political infighting, Congress finally passed, and President Obama signed into law, a bill that was supposedly the biggest financial reform bill in decades. The big question is, do the supporters of this bill really believe it will change Wall Street? Or do they simply hope it'll be enough to placate us so the status quo can be validated? Nomi Prins assumes the latter, because they can't be that naive, but time will tell. In "It Takes a Pillage," former Wall Street insider turned muckraking journalist Nomi Prins explains how we are building a new bubble with more leverage, bigger bonuses, rampant speculation and fraud, amid extended unemployment and personal financial decline. The cowering of Washington bureaucrats in the face of the power and influence exerted by the Big Banks threatens the immediate economic well-being of us all. The scariest part is that, for all the trillions that have been spent or remain committed to the bloated stalwarts of Wall Street, our economic system is still in disarray. Average Americans continue to struggle while the banks are once again rolling in outsized profits and obscene bonuses. "It Takes a Pillage" is packed with the information you need to understand the financial crisis and what has followed, and to gain deeper insight into how to fight for real change.

Download or read book 1812 written by Paul Britten Austen and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the gates of Moscow, Napoleon's Grand Army prepares to enter in triumphal procession. But what it finds is a city abandoned by its inhabitants save only the men who emerge to fan the flames as incendiary fuses hidden throughout the empty buildings of Moscow set the city alight. For three days Moscow burned, while looters dodged the fires to plunder and pillage. And so begins 1812: Napoleon in Moscow, Paul Britten Austin's atmospheric second volume in his acclaimed trilogy on Napoleons catastrophic invasion of Russia. After the fires died down the army settled in the ruins of Moscow; for five weeks Napoleon waited at the Kremlin, expecting his 'brother the Tsar' in St Petersburg to capitulate and make peace, while in fact the Russian Army was gathering its strength. At the same time Murat's cavalry, the advance guard, was encamped in dreadful conditions three days' march away at Winkowo, where it was being starved to death. When Napoleon eventually realized the futility of his plans and prepared to leave Moscow, his advance guard was surprised by a Russian attack. The most astounding exodus in modern times ensued. 1812: Napoleon in Moscow follows on from the brilliant 1812: The March on Moscow, which took Napoleon's army across Europe to the great city. Paul Britten Austin brings this next phase of the epic campaign to life with characteristic verve. Drawing on hundreds of eyewitness accounts by French and allied soldiers of Napoleon's army, this brilliant study recreates this disastrous military campaign in all its death and glory.

Download or read book Murder, Mayhem, Pillage, and Plunder written by Mikhāyil Mishāqa and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's analysis of the internecine strife and fierce clan rivalry rampant in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries puts into perspective the turmoil into which the Lebanon has fallen today. This translation comprises the memoirs of several generations of the Mishāqa family. The author, Mikhāyil Mishāqa (1800-1888), a many-faceted individual, was raised in Dayr al-Qamar, then the princely seat of Mount Lebanon, apprenticed as a merchant in Damietta, Egypt. He served as financial comptroller to the Shihab emirs of Hasbayya and in his later years was a physician and consul to the United States in Damascus. Mishāqa gives a vivid picture of life and history during the period. From his position he was privy to political deliberations and knew intimately the clan chiefs, pashas and princes who were the principal agents of change. The book contains information unavailable elsewhere of importance to political and social historians, on life during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Large portions of the original text that are of particular interest for the study of the interaction of the various ethno-religious groups that inhabit the area, were at one time expunged from the printed Arabic version as too sensitive, but are included in this comprehensive English translation.
