Download or read book Bloody Handprints written by Shannon Rudy and published by TP Publications. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 24, 1914 young Annie Martin, mother of two, was attacked and violently murdered while sleeping in her own bed. No one was ever caught or brought to justice, in this unsolved murder case, which haunted the town of Braggs, Oklahoma and the Martin family for decades. After years of research, author Shannon Rudy has unfurled the mystery surrounding her Grandmother's tragic end. This well written book is heavily documented with extensive original research including many newspaper articles, interviews, photographs and evidence of police cover-ups, yet it reads like a story that will engage readers' imaginations as well as their sympathies for a young woman doomed from childhood to a life of tragedy. Living in the heart of Cherokee Indian Territory during the tumultuous beginnings of the Twentieth Century, Annie is orphaned when her father is murdered and her mother swept away by a tornado. She is adopted by her uncle, only to be abused and then viscously murdered in her twenties by an assailant unnamed - until now. Bloody Handprints presents a classic cold case file as it puts the pieces together to solve the mystery and unravel the web of deceit, incompetence, incest, greed and desperation behind the untimely death of Annie Martin.
Download or read book Talk to the Hand written by Lynne Truss and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-11-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Talk to the hand, ’cause the face ain’t listening," the saying goes. When did the world stop wanting to hear? When did society become so thoughtless? It’s a topic that has been simmering for years, and Lynne Truss says it’s now reached the boiling point. Taking on the boorish behavior that for some has become a point of pride, Talk to the Hand is a rallying cry for courtesy. Like Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Talk to the Hand is not a stuffy guidebook, and is sure to inspire spirited conversation. Why hasn’t your nephew ever thanked you for your carefully selected gift? What makes your contractor think it’s fine to snub you in the midst of a major renovation? Why do crowds spawn selfishness? What accounts for the appalling treatment you receive in stores (if you’re lucky enough to get a clerk’s attention at all)? Most important, what will it take to roll back a culture that applauds those who are disrespectful? In a recent U.S. survey, 79 percent of adults said that lack of courtesy was a serious problem. For anyone who’s fed up with the brutality inflicted by modern manners (or lack thereof), Talk to the Hand is a colorful call to arms—from the wittiest defender of the civilized world.
Book Synopsis Men That God Made Mad by : Derek Lundy
Download or read book Men That God Made Mad written by Derek Lundy and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-10-31 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable book, Belfast-born Derek Lundy uses the lives of three of his ancestors as a prism through which to examine what memory and the selective plundering of history has made of the truth in Northern Ireland. In Ulster the name 'Lundy' is synonymous with 'traitor'. Robert Lundy was the Protestant governor of Londonderry in 1688, just before it came under siege by the Catholic Irish army of James II. Robert Lundy ordered the city's capitulation. Crying 'No Surrender', hardline Protestants prevented it and drove him away in disgrace. William Steel Dickson's legacy is a little different. A Presbyterian minister born in the mid-eighteenth century, he preached with famous eloquence in favour of using whatever means necessary to resist the tyranny of the English. Finally there is 'Billy' Lundy, born in 1890, the embodiment of what the Ulster Protestants had become by the beginning of World War I - a tribe united in their hostility to Catholics and to the concept of a united Ireland. The lives of Robert Lundy, William Steel Dickson and Billy Lundy encapsulate many themes in the Ulster past. In telling their stories, Derek Lundy lays bare the harsh and murderous mythologies of Northern Ireland and gives us a revision of its history that seems particularly relevant in today's world.
Book Synopsis The Bloody Red Hand by : Derek Lundy
Download or read book The Bloody Red Hand written by Derek Lundy and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling chronicler of the sea turns to a trio of his own ancestors to see what memory and the selective plundering of history has made of the truth in Northern Ireland. The name “Lundy” is synonymous with traitor in Ulster. Derek Lundy’s first ancestral subject was the Protestant governor of Derry in 1688, just before it came under siege by the Catholic Irish army of James II. For reasons that remain ambiguous, Robert ordered the gates of the city opened in surrender. Protestant hard-liners staged a coup de ville and drove him away in disgrace, a traitor to the cause. But Robert is more memorable for his peace-seeking moderation than for the treachery the standard history attributes to him. William Steel Dickson’s legacy is a little different: a Presbyterian minister born in the late 18th century, he preached with famous eloquence in favour of using whatever means necessary to resist the tyranny of the English, including joining forces with the Catholics in armed rebellion. Finally, there is “Billy” Lundy, born in 1890, the antithesis of the ecumenical William, and the embodiment of what the Ulster Protestants had become by the beginning of World War I – a tribe united in their hostility to Catholics and to the project of an independent Ireland. The lives of Robert Lundy, William Steel Dickson and Billy Lundy encapsulate many themes in the Ulster past. In telling their stories, Derek Lundy lays bare the harsh and murderous mythologies of Northern Ireland and gives us a revision of its history that seems particularly relevant in today’s world. Excerpt from The Bloody Red Hand: The other thing I remember is the look the young man gave me, after he had taken the cash, put his pistol away and was standing with his hands in his jacket pockets. It wasn’t the expression of someone who was thinking of shooting me too; I never had that feeling. But the way he looked at me was so familiar – wary and calculating. Many people in Belfast had stared in the same way since I’d arrived for a visit. For a long time, I couldn’t understand what it meant. Eventually, I knew. They were trying to decide “what foot I kicked with” – what religion I was. There were supposed ways to tell, subtle indicators. Was I someone they should fear? Or was I one of them? That was what the armed robber was doing, too. He had just shot a man who knew him by his first name. But he was looking at me, the stranger, and trying to figure out whether I was a Prod or a Taig.
Book Synopsis Brothers of the Red Hand by : Charles Dillon
Download or read book Brothers of the Red Hand written by Charles Dillon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-11-20 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thrilling story of an island torn in half by ancient influences and outside influences, where the Brothers of the Red Hand act to punish the informers and traitors who betray the aspirations of the Irish people in their struggle for liberty and independence. There is betrayal, arson, and violence committed by both the patriots and the English soldiers. Set on the Emerald Isle in the mid-1840¡_s during the Great Hunger when Irish families faced the potato famine, and where a million people starved to death in their villages and a million others fled overseas. Sufficient food was available in the country to feed the people, but absentee English landlords sent it to England. The story is told against a complex background of adventure and intrigue as the author paints a multicolored picture of unforgettable characters with varying beliefs and loyalties. You¡_ll meet lords and ladies, Republicans and English terrorists, priests and ministers¡ªboth kind and evil¡ªand plain country folk. Irish folklore is woven into the story. Equal importance to the plot of this fine novel is the beauty of the language. So lively is Dillon¡_s style that you can almost smell the fragrant peat fires and taste the porter and poteen. Mr. Dillon has the Irish gift of ¡°passing the time of day¡± in a delightful way.
Book Synopsis The Black Hand by : Chris Blatchford
Download or read book The Black Hand written by Chris Blatchford and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BLACK HAND is the true story of Rene Enriquez, aka "Boxer," and his rise in a secret criminal organization, a new Mafia, that already has a grip on all organized crime in California and soon all of the United States. This Mafia is using a base army of an estimated 60,000 heavily armed, loyal Latino gang members, called Surenos, driven by fear and illicit profits. They are the most dangerous gang in American history and they wave the flag of the Black Hand. Mafioso Enriquez gives an insider′s view of how he devoted his life to the cause--the Mexican Mafia, La Familia Mexicana, also known as La Eme--only to find betrayal and disillusionment at the end of a bloody trail of violence that he followed for two decades. And now, award-winning investigative journalist Chris Blatchford, with the unprecedented cooperation of Rene Enriquez, reveals the inner workings, secret meetings, and elaborate murder plots that make up the daily routine of the Mafia brothers. It is an intense, never-before-told story of a man who devoted his life to a bloody cause only to find betrayal and disillusionment. Based on years of research and investigation, Chris Blatchford has delivered a historic narrative of a nefarious organization that will go down as a classic in mob literature.
Book Synopsis Blood on Our Hands by : Nicolas J. S. Davies
Download or read book Blood on Our Hands written by Nicolas J. S. Davies and published by Nimble Books LLC. This book was released on 2010 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's crimes against the people of Iraq were shielded from public scrutiny by what senior U.S. military officers called the quiet, disguised, media-free approach developed in Central America in the 1980s. The echo chamber of the Western corporate media fleshed out the Pentagon's propaganda to create a virtual Iraq in the minds of the public, feeding a political discourse that bore no relation to the real war it was waging, the country it was destroying or the lives of its inhabitants. Davies takes apart the wall of propaganda surrounding one of history's most significant military disasters and most serious international crimes: non-existent WMDs; the equally fictitious centuries-old sectarian blood feud in Iraq; and the secrecy of the dirty war waged by American-led death squads. He places each aspect of the war within a context of illegal aggression, hostile military occupation and popular resistance, to uncover the brutal reality of a war that has probably killed at least a million people. From publisher description.
Download or read book Red Hand written by Michael Tanner and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-05-21 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britons watched the opening months of 1913 unfold with a sense of foreboding. On the continent, they saw a brutal conflict in the Balkans increase the prospect of a war engulfing the whole of Europe. On their doorstep, they observed the thorny issue of Irish home rule edge the island toward civil war as Ulsters Protestant Loyalists, led by Sir Edward Carson, vow they will fight to remain part of the United Kingdom rather than be subservient to a Catholic Republic governed from Dublin. And at home, they watched militant suffragettes, such as Emily Wilding Davison, challenge the rule of law in their crusade for the vote. The fiction that follows is set against this turbulent backcloth and constructed around certain historical events and individuals. Yet who is to say the story doesnt chime with a faint ring of truth?
