Book Synopsis American Subversive by : David Goodwillie
Download or read book American Subversive written by David Goodwillie and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-20 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aidan Cole and his friends are a band of savvy—if cynical—New York journalists and bloggers, thriving at the intersection of media and celebrity. They meet at loft parties and dive bars, talking of scoops and page views, sexual adventures and new restaurants. And then, without warning, a bomb rips through a deserted midtown office tower, and Aidan’s life will never be the same. Four days later, with no arrests and a city on edge, an anonymous e-mail arrives in Aidan’s inbox. Attached is the photograph of an attractive young white woman, along with a chilling message: “This is Paige Roderick. She’s the one responsible.” An astonishing debut novel, American Subversive is a “genuinely thrilling thriller” (NewYorker.com) as well as “an exploration of what motivates radicalism in an age of disillusion” (The New York Times Book Review).

Book Synopsis The Torture Machine by : Flint Taylor
Download or read book The Torture Machine written by Flint Taylor and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his colleagues at the People’s Law Office (PLO), Taylor has argued landmark civil rights cases that have exposed corruption and cover-up within the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and throughout the city’s political machine, from aldermen to the mayor’s office. [TAYLOR’s BOOK] takes the reader from the 1969 murders of Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton and Panther Mark Clark—and the historic, thirteen-year trial that followed—through the dogged pursuit of chief detective Jon Burge, the leader of a torture ring within the CPD that used barbaric methods, including electric shock, to elicit false confessions from suspects. Taylor and the PLO gathered evidence from multiple cases to bring suit against the CPD, breaking the department’s “code of silence” that had enabled decades of cover-up. The legal precedents they set have since been adopted in human rights legislation around the world.
Book Synopsis Civilizing Torture by : W. Fitzhugh Brundage
Download or read book Civilizing Torture written by W. Fitzhugh Brundage and published by Belknap Press. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize Finalist Silver Gavel Award Finalist “A sobering history of how American communities and institutions have relied on torture in various forms since before the United States was founded.” —Los Angeles Times “That Americans as a people and a nation-state are violent is indisputable. That we are also torturers, domestically and internationally, is not so well established. The myth that we are not torturers will persist, but Civilizing Torture will remain a powerful antidote in confronting it.” —Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell “Remarkable...A searing analysis of America’s past that helps make sense of its bewildering present.” —David Garland, author of Peculiar Institution Most Americans believe that a civilized state does not torture, but that belief has repeatedly been challenged in moments of crisis at home and abroad. From the Indian wars to Vietnam, from police interrogation to the War on Terror, US institutions have proven far more amenable to torture than the nation’s commitment to liberty would suggest. Civilizing Torture traces the history of debates about the efficacy of torture and reveals a recurring struggle to decide what limits to impose on the power of the state. At a time of escalating rhetoric aimed at cleansing the nation of the undeserving and an erosion of limits on military power, the debate over torture remains critical and unresolved.

Book Synopsis PYGMALION (With Original Illustrations) by : George Bernard Shaw
Download or read book PYGMALION (With Original Illustrations) written by George Bernard Shaw and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated eBook edition of "PYGMALION" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Excerpt: "It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him." (Pygmalion, Preface) Named after a Greek mythological character the play was first presented on stage to the public in 1913. In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with one of his sculptures, which then came to life. Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women's independence and has been successfully adapted into a motion picture and a musical comedy. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) was an Irish playwright, essayist, novelist and short story writer and wrote more than 60 plays. He is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize in Literature (1925) and an Academy Award (1938).

Known for his bold exploration of human emotions and sexuality, Lawrence's writings often contain themes of love, desire, and the complexities of relationships. His prose is characterized by its poetic quality and vivid imagery, drawing readers into a world of intense emotions and inner turmoil. The collection includes iconic works such as 'Sons and Lovers', 'Lady Chatterley's Lover', and 'Women in Love'. These novels reflect Lawrence's unique style and his ability to delve deep into the human psyche with unprecedented honesty and insight. D. H. Lawrence, a prolific writer of the early 20th century, was deeply influenced by his own personal experiences and observations of society. His works often faced censorship due to their controversial themes and explicit content, but they have since been recognized for their literary merits and contributions to modern literature. Lawrence's rebellious spirit and commitment to authenticity continue to resonate with readers today. I highly recommend The Greatest Works of D. H. Lawrence to readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that explores the complexities of human relationships and emotions.
