Book Synopsis Killing John Wayne by : Ryan Uytdewilligen
Download or read book Killing John Wayne written by Ryan Uytdewilligen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behold the history of a film so scandalous, so outrageous, so explosive it disappeared from print for over a quarter century! A film so dangerous, half its cast and crew met their demise bringing eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes’ final cinematic vision to life! Starring All-American legend John Wayne in full Fu Manchu make-up as Mongol madman Genghis Khan! Featuring sultry seductress Susan Hayward as his lover! This is the true story of The Conqueror (1956), the worst movie ever made. Filmed during the dark underbelly of the 1950s—the Cold War—when nuclear testing in desolate southwestern landscapes was a must for survival, the very same landscapes were where exotic stories set in faraway lands could be made. Just 153 miles from the St. George, Utah, set, nuclear bombs were detonated regularly at Yucca Flat and Frenchman Flat in Nevada, providing a bizarre and possibly deadly background to an already surreal moment in cinema history. This book tells the full story of the making of The Conqueror, its ignominious aftermath, and the radiation induced cancer that may have killed John Wayne and many others.
Download or read book Murder 101 written by Robert L. Snow and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-07-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all crimes, murder fascinates the public more than any other. While considered a detestable act, for which society reserves its severest punishments, homicide still captivates the American public. But the way homicide and its investigation are depicted in our media fail to capture just how murders get solved. Here, Snow takes us on a tour of murder, its investigation, and its prosecution from the perspective of a seasoned homicide detective. From the commission of the crime to the collection of evidence, examination of the crime scene, roundup of suspects, interrogation, and resolution, he leads readers from the scene to the courtroom, stopping along the way to consider all the elements that go into a murder investigation. He considers the culprits, the motives, the victims and their families, and offers readers a glimpse into the actual techniques and methods used to solve real crimes. This volume will fascinate and inform anyone interested in knowing the truth behind the scene of the crime of murder.

Download or read book Nationalism written by Eric Storm and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A new global history of nationalism. Today, almost all countries are considered nation-states, but only a handful conform to the original nationalist ideal of a unitary state which governs an ethnically homogenous nation, an ideal which has rarely been realized in the past. Given this disjunction between the ideal and reality, what explains the extraordinary success of the nation-state model - a form of statehood based on popular sovereignty - and the seductive power of the myth of national homogeneity? Most existing studies focus on the activities of nationalist movements, their views on the nation's identity and the wars and revolutions that produced nation-states. This has served to overemphasize the singularity of each case, producing a very fragmented picture overall. In this book, author Eric Storm takes a global approach by examining the structural changes that were engendered by the advance of the nation-state model and the nationalization of culture. Emphasizing how conceptions of the nation changed profoundly over time, the book details how the rise of nationalism fundamentally affected the everyday life of ordinary people across the globe. Storm explores four interrelated topics chronologically: the rise, dissemination, and evolution of the nation-state model, which was first developed during the Atlantic Revolutions; the implications of national citizenship for citizens and the attempt by nation-states to expand the ambit of citizenship, even while more strictly excluding outsiders; the allure of nationalism, as the existence of differentiated nations was increasingly taken for granted in the humanities, social sciences and high culture; and, finally, the process whereby nationalism became ingrained in daily life and the physical environment. In making use of a global comparative approach, Storm makes clear that no nation has been unique; rather, they have all conformed to the nation-state model"--
