Book Synopsis The Kidnapping Club by : Jonathan Daniel Wells
Download or read book The Kidnapping Club written by Jonathan Daniel Wells and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2020-2021 New York City Book Award In a rapidly changing New York, two forces battled for the city's soul: the pro-slavery New Yorkers who kept the illegal slave trade alive and well, and the abolitionists fighting for freedom. We often think of slavery as a southern phenomenon, far removed from the booming cities of the North. But even though slavery had been outlawed in Gotham by the 1830s, Black New Yorkers were not safe. Not only was the city built on the backs of slaves; it was essential in keeping slavery and the slave trade alive. In The Kidnapping Club, historian Jonathan Daniel Wells tells the story of the powerful network of judges, lawyers, and police officers who circumvented anti-slavery laws by sanctioning the kidnapping of free and fugitive African Americans. Nicknamed "The New York Kidnapping Club," the group had the tacit support of institutions from Wall Street to Tammany Hall whose wealth depended on the Southern slave and cotton trade. But a small cohort of abolitionists, including Black journalist David Ruggles, organized tirelessly for the rights of Black New Yorkers, often risking their lives in the process. Taking readers into the bustling streets and ports of America's great Northern metropolis, The Kidnapping Club is a dramatic account of the ties between slavery and capitalism, the deeply corrupt roots of policing, and the strength of Black activism.

Book Synopsis The Kidnappers by : Dr. Nathaniel Nwadiogbu
Download or read book The Kidnappers written by Dr. Nathaniel Nwadiogbu and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-09-12 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidnapping is a crime that was alien to Nigeria until recently when the youths of the oil-rich Niger Delta Region began to use it as a political weapon to register agitation against economic marginalization by the Federal Government. It was subsequently hijacked and downgraded by criminals in other parts of the Country who used it as an easy tool for illegal acquisition of wealth. The kidnappers, therefore, x-rays the origin of the crime, its impact on Nigerian polity and the measures the Federal Government adopted to curb it. This is a story that points an accusing finger on the Society as the major cause of numerous crimes (including kidnapping) perpetrated by man against humanity. To instil godliness in a people, the Society must, therefore, be restructured aright.

Download or read book Cleopatra's Kidnappers written by Stephen Dando-Collins and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful tale of war, romance, and one of history's most desperate gambles Julius Caesar was nothing if not bold. When, in the wake of his defeat of Pompey at Pharsalus his victorious legions refused to march another step under his command, he pursued his fleeing rival into Egypt with an impossibly small force of Gallic and German cavalry, raw Italian recruits, and nine hundred Spanish prisoners of war-tough veterans of Pompey's Sixth Legion. Cleopatra's Kidnappers tells the epic saga of Caesar's adventures in Egypt through the eyes of these captured, but never defeated, legionaries. In this third volume in his definitive history of the Roman legions, Stephen Dando-Collins reveals how this tiny band of fierce warriors led Caesar's little army to great victories against impossible odds. Bristling with action and packed with insights and newly revealed facts, this eye-opening account introduces you to the extraordinary men who made possible Caesar's famous boast, "I came, I saw, I conquered." Praise for Caesar's Legion "A unique and splendidly researched story, following the trials and triumphs of Julius Caesar's Legio X. . . . More than a mere unit account, it incorporates the history of Rome and the Roman army at the height of their power and gory glory. Many military historians consider Caesar's legions the world's most efficient infantry before the arrival of gunpowder. This book shows why. Written in readable, popular style, Caesar's Legion is a must for military buffs and anyone interested in Roman history at a critical point in European civilization." -T. R. Fehrenbach author of This Kind of War, Lone Star, and Comanches
