Book excerpt: Calamitous Corruption: The Harry Palmer LA Trilogy Book 3: The Precinct With The Golden Arm “A superbly plotted, Chandleresque historical Noir”–Lilja Sigurðardóttir, “the Queen of Scandinavian Crime Fiction,” author of the trilogy Snare, Trap, Cage and of four financial thrillers, the latest of which is Dark As Night “Private detective Harry Palmer, a distant relative of Philip Marlow and Lew Archer, takes us back to the LA of the 1940s in an exciting story with an impressive accumulation of details from the backstreets of that city” – Gunnar Staalesen, who Jo Nesbo called “the Norwegian Chandler,” writer of the Varg Veum series “Dennis Broe compels us to assert that novelists, like himself—and not just poets—are the unacknowledged legislators: for in this masterpiece, he poetically provides a scintillating dissection of capitalism, L.A. style”—Gerald Horne, historian and author of Class Struggle in Hollywood “…the seamy world of the LAPD,…the Mexican-American community in Boyle Heights…the Ku Klux Klan and the burgeoning pharmaceutical industry…combine and collide in a cleverly integrated story that will keep a reader fully engaged to the last page and beyond”–Eric Gordon, LA Progressive “An ingeniously plotted book that weaves its plots together well, and gives us another fascinating look at mid-century Los Angeles”—Ellen Clair Lamb, assistant editor Books to Die For: The World’s Greatest Mystery Writers on the World’s Greatest Mystery Novels “The Precinct With The Golden Arm outlines an LA teeming with corruption end to end, and one–same as it ever was–not that different from the city today with many of the same problems still unresolved and thus recurring”–Crime Time In his third encounter with the seamy world of the LA power structure of the 1940s, disgraced ex-homicide detective Harry Palmer tangles with the LAPD as it attempts to shed its aura of corruption while clamping down on the Mexican American community of Boyle Heights in the wake of the Zoot Suit Rebellion. Lurking in the background is a burgeoning Big Pharma industry as these various threads interconnect and lead Harry into a maze of sex and drugs as he confronts his own tarnished past.

Readers will be moved and angered by the crushing odds against the Mexican migrants Harry defends. Broe's explanations of the politics of 1948 are...relevant to our own times. The rise of racism, the pervasion of police violence, the attacks on workers trying to defend their living standards, ...the drive to war, all these familiar problems were weapons already being wielded 75 years ago by a ruthless ruling class"-Mike Eaude, Shiny New Books In his third encounter with the seamy world of the LA power structure of the 1940s, disgraced ex-homicide detective Harry Palmer tangles with the LAPD as it attempts to shed its aura of corruption while clamping down on the Mexican American community of Boyle Heights in the wake of the Zoot Suit Rebellion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of rare genius, The Man with the Golden Arm describes the dissolution of a card-dealing WWII veteran named Frankie Machine, caught in the act of slowly cutting his own heart into wafer-thin slices. For Frankie, a murder committed may be the least of his problems. The literary critic Malcolm Cowley called The Man with the Golden Arm "Algren's defense of the individual," while Carl Sandburg wrote of its "strange midnight dignity." A literary tour de force, here is a novel unlike any other, one in which drug addiction, poverty, and human failure somehow suggest a defense of human dignity and a reason for hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, troubled director Nicholas Ray chatted at a dinner party about his controversial plan for a film about middle-class juvenile delinquents. He was told of a book, written by a prison psychologist and owned by Warner Bros., called Rebel Without a Cause. Though he was initially unimpressed, Ray adapted the book into his own screenplay and Warner Bros. hired him to direct what would become a classic. From the backgrounds of the many players to the pre-production, production, and post-production of the film, this complete history recounts every aspect of Rebel Without a Cause from its rudiments to the 1955 Academy Awards: the selection of cast and crew, legal fights, changing screenwriters and the many variations of the story, location scouting, auditions, script readings, difficulties with the censors, romances and fights, the editing, test screenings, and, of course, the death of its star. Dozens of intimate anecdotes, from wardrobe decisions to James Dean’s pranks, add rich detail. An epilogue discusses the possible sequels, rights conflicts, documentaries, musicals, and spin-off attempts, and offers concluding words on the cast and crew.

Book excerpt: The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang offers the ultimate record of modern, post WW2 American Slang. The 25,000 entries are accompanied by citations that authenticate the words as well as offer examples of usage from popular literature, newspapers, magazines, movies, television shows, musical lyrics, and Internet user groups. Etymology, cultural context, country of origin and the date the word was first used are also provided. In terms of content, the cultural transformations since 1945 are astounding. Television, computers, drugs, music, unpopular wars, youth movements, changing racial sensitivities and attitudes towards sex and sexuality are all substantial factors that have shaped culture and language. This new edition includes over 500 new headwords collected with citations from the last five years, a period of immense change in the English language, as well as revised existing entries with new dating and citations. No term is excluded on the grounds that it might be considered offensive as a racial, ethnic, religious, sexual or any kind of slur. This dictionary contains many entries and citations that will, and should, offend. Rich, scholarly and informative, The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang and Unconventional English is an indispensable resource for language researchers, lexicographers and translators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detective Maier has a new case. This time it is a cold case: investigating the death of Julia Rendel's father, an East German culture attaché who was killed near a fabled CIA airbase in central Laos in 1976. But before the detective can set off, his client is kidnapped right out of his arms. Maier follows Julia's trail to the Laotian capital Vientiane, where he learns different parties, including his missing client, are searching for a legendary CIA file crammed with Cold War secrets. The real prize, however, is the file's author: someone codenamed Weltmeister, a former US and Vietnamese spy and assassin no one has seen for a quarter century. Racing against time, Maier needs to dig deep into the past - including his own - in order to make sense of the present. The second book in Tom Vater's Detective Maier Mysteries series, The Man With The Golden Mind is an action-packed thriller with plenty of sex, drugs, assassinations and double-crosses. This book contains graphic violence and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.

This book was released on 2009-01-25 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film noir, which flourished in 1940s and 50s, reflected the struggles and sentiments of postwar America. Dennis Broe contends that the genre, with its emphasis on dark subject matter, paralleled the class conflict in labor and union movements that dominated the period. By following the evolution of film noir during the years following World War II, Broe illustrates how the noir figure represents labor as a whole. In the 1940s, both radicalized union members and protagonists of noir films were hunted and pursued by the law. Later, as labor unions achieve broad acceptance and respectability, the central noir figure shifts from fugitive criminal to law-abiding cop. Expanding his investigation into the Cold War and post-9/11 America, Broe extends his analysis of the ways film noir is intimately connected to labor history. A brilliant, interdisciplinary examination, this is a work that will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers.
