America in 1982: Japanese car companies are on the rise and believed to be putting U.S. autoworkers out of their jobs. Anti–Asian American sentiment simmers, especially in Detroit. A bar fight turns fatal, leaving a Chinese American man, Vincent Chin, beaten to death at the hands of two white men, autoworker Ronald Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz. Paula Yoo has crafted a searing examination of the killing and the trial and verdicts that followed. When Ebens and Nitz pled guilty to manslaughter and received only a $3,000 fine and three years’ probation, the lenient sentence sparked outrage. The protests that followed led to a federal civil rights trial—the first involving a crime against an Asian American—and galvanized what came to be known as the Asian American movement. Extensively researched from court transcripts, contemporary news accounts, and in-person interviews with key participants, From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry is a suspenseful, nuanced, and authoritative portrait of a pivotal moment in civil rights history, and a man who became a symbol against hatred and racism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder in Washington: Notorious Crime Sites is a visual return to 80+ infamous murder scenes profiling the shocking and detailed narratives behind each tragedy. The State of Washington has been the residence of three internationally prominent serial killers including Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgway (The Green River Killer) and Lee Boyd Malvo (DC Sniper). Many of the narratives defy believability, yet they are true. Long after the screaming headlines and sensationalism has subsided, these bizarre, infamous and obscure murder sites and stories remain buried awaiting rediscovery.

The edition provides the precise location of each crime site, fatality victims, perpetrators and for those still living, the penal institution where they are incarcerated. Cases profiled include: Ted Bundy: The Serpent who loved to kill women Gary Ridgway: The Green River Prostitute Killer Uncle Joe Kondro: A family or friend’s worst nightmare Lee Boyd Malvo: Under the spell and shadow of the DC Sniper Rodney Alcala: Stalking and strangling beauty Donna Perry: Transgender prostitute killer Maurice Clemmons: His four police officer shooting spree Legacy hex of serial killer Jake Bird Disappearing investment trail of Doug Carlile Seattle’s underpass Jungle killings Mysterious assassination of Federal Judge Tom Wales Ann Marie Burr’s kidnapping and linkage to Ted Bundy DNA tracing genealogies condemn two Tacoma child killers forty-years later Billy Gohl and the floating cadavers of Aberdeen Tacoma’s missing Puyallup Avenue streetwalkers A botched experimental attempt at homicide Kidnapping and murder of little Charles Mattson Everett Union protest dockside massacre Incestuous killing of Sylvia Gaines.

Download or read book Finding Chandra written by Scott Higham and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the mystery that gripped the nation during the summer of 2001: the sudden disappearance of Chandra Levy, a young, promising intern, and the possible involvement of Congressman Gary Condit. And then the case went cold. By 2007, satellite trucks and reporters had long since abandoned the story of the congressman and the intern in search of other news, fresh scandals. Across the country, Chandra’s parents tried to resume their daily lives, desperately hoping that someday there might be a break in the investigation. And in Washington, the old game of who’s up and who’s down played on without interruption. But Chandra Levy haunted. Six years after the young intern’s disappearance, investigative editors of the Washington Post pitched two Pulitzer Prize– winning reporters their idea: Revisit the unsolved case and find out what happened to Chandra, a task that had eluded police and the FBI. Scott Higham and Sari Horwitz went to work. e result was a thirteen-part series in the Washington Post that focused on a prime suspect the police and the FBI had passed over years before. They had wrongly pursued Condit and chased numerous false leads, including a claim that Chandra had been kidnapped and taken to the Middle East. But the most likely culprit was far less glamorous: an immigrant from El Salvador, a young man in the clutches of alcohol, drugs, and violence who had been stalking the running paths of Rock Creek Park, assaulting female joggers at knifepoint. He had attacked again, even as the police and the press concentrated on a congressman romantically linked to the intern. Finding Chandra explores the bungled police efforts to locate the crime scene and catch a killer, the ambition and hubris of Washington’s power elite and press corps, the twisted culture of politics, the dark nature of political scandal, and the agony of parents struggling to comprehend the loss of a child. Above all, it is a quintessential portrait of a cast of outsiders who came to Washington with dreams of something better, only to be forever changed.

Plot summaries, names of major characters, and location lists are also presented. Although this book was written to assist researchers in locating works of fiction for analysis, the plot summaries have enough detail for general readers so they can develop an understanding of the way attitudes toward Washington, and what the city symbolizes, have changed over the years. Similarly, the biographical section demonstrates the wide range of journalists, politicians, society women, and freelance writers who were motivated to write about the city."--BOOK JACKET.
