This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven young women, all murdered in the most disgusting manner imaginable. Unimaginable, in fact: a first of its kind, and never before explicitly revealed. All the victims were prostitutes. All were dumped naked after having been stored by their killer as sex toys. Some of them were mothers. Each was someone’s daughter. And for more than fifty years the author has lived with the haunting secret that he was once suspected by Scotland Yard of being a serial killer more depraved and dangerous than Jack the Ripper. In the killing-spree that lasted more than a year, the author had a mole deep inside Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad, similar to ‘Deep Throat’ from the Watergate scandal, who was drip-feeding him the step-by-step ploys to snare the monster who brought terror to the streets of West London. Hundreds of policewomen, posing as prostitutes, flooded the red-light districts, hoping to be selected by the killer – more hopeful, though, that the back-up would swoop to the rescue in time. At one point, Scotland Yard feared that a prostitute, missing for more than a fortnight, had become the eighth victim and appealed to the public for help. It took the author just eleven hours to track her down and hand her alive and well to the Murder Squad. When the killings stopped, the most senior member of the Murder Squad claimed that the serial killer had committed suicide and an innocent man was named in a deceitful cover-up. The author fingers the real serial killer, a celebrity and national treasure who died in circumstances arguably even more bizarre than the manner in which he murdered his victims.

Book excerpt: Shadowland is a revelatory and dramatic true-life thriller spanning much of the twentieth century, a page-turning chronicle of an elaborate Mafia plan to 'invade' Europe using 1960s London as a bridgehead. The capital city of the Swinging Sixties was also a world of gambling, guns and gangsters. Several veterans of the era are astonished that they survived it and some feel protected enough - now that most of the killers are themselves dead - to reveal to bestselling author Douglas Thompson the details and secrets of one of history's greatest criminal conspiracies, and of how world-champion boxer Freddie Mills really died. The tension in this real-life narrative is ferocious as the tale moves from London to New York and Las Vegas, down to Miami, into Havana, then on to the Bahamas and back to an unexpected denouement in London. Brutal, terrifying and intrigue-packed, it is an account of the Mob's Machiavellian global manipulation of governments and officials. Shadowland recounts events from the viewpoint of the pawns as well as the kingmakers. All the big players of Mafia history are here, controlled by the gangster genius Meyer Lansky, but so are the hit men, the fixers, the hoodlums and the wiseguys.

The book utilizes a decade-by-decade approach, focusing on the original eight weight divisions. All-timers Jack Johnson, Stanley Ketchel, Joe Gans, Barbados Joe Walcott, Jack Dempsey, Willie Pep, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Marciano, Panama Al Brown, Archie Moore, and Muhammad Ali as well as many, many more are covered in detail, aided by historical photographs. The author also takes on the various sanctioning bodies that govern professional boxing and whom he feels have had a largely negative influence on the Sweet Science.

Book excerpt: A dark and deep dive into the “Jack the Stripper” murders that “rips open sixties London and leaves her swinging from a lamp-post for all to finally see” (David Peace, author of the Red Riding Quartet). Between 1959 and 1965, eight prostitutes were murdered in West London by a serial killer. The killer’s motive and identity were the subject of endless speculation by the media, who dubbed him “Jack the Stripper.” Links to the Profumo scandal, boxer Freddie Mills and the notorious Kray twins were rumored. By the time the body of the eighth victim was found in February 1965, a massive police operation was underway to catch the killer. The whole country waited to see what would happen next. The police had staked everything on the murderer striking again. But he didn’t . . . David Seabrook, the author of All the Devils Are Here, interviewed surviving police officers, witnesses and associates of the victims and examined the evidence, the rumors and the half-truths. He reconstructs every detail of the investigation and recreates the dark, brutal world of prostitutes and pimps in 1960s West London. He questions the theory that the police’s prime suspect was Jack the Stripper and confronts the disturbing possibility that the killer is still at large. “Seabrook taps away at the darker recesses of the metropolitan mind, relishing the fact that his subject is so heroically unglamorous.”—The Guardian “The genius of this one is how it teases horror from the banal . . . A terrifying portrait of the dark side of Notting Hill and Shepherd’s Bush at the time, with its stew of sex, drugs, immigration, violence, and a residual white working-class.”—The Telegraph

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boxing is one of the oldest sports in the world, reaching back to the Ancient Greeks, although it has become popular only in the past century or so. But, in some ways, it is a rather complicated sport since – to avoid unnecessary harm – it has been endowed with rules to keep it clean, referees to see the rules are obeyed, and organizations to regulate the sport. Boxing was once largely amateur, although the professional bouts attracted the most attention, but now it is also an Olympic sport. And, over the years, there has been one champion after another who symbolized what boxing was all about, such Joe Louis, Mohammad Ali and Cassius Clay. Naturally, these champions are the focus of the Historical Dictionary of Boxing as well, and they have the biggest entries in the dictionary section, but they had to fight against someone and there are dozens and dozens of other boxers with smaller entries. More of these boxers come from the United States than elsewhere, but there are others from Europe, Asia and Latin America, and there are also entries on the major boxing countries as well. Plus entries on the rules, on the organizations, and on the technical terminology and jargon you have to know just to follow the bouts. The introduction provides a broad view of boxing’s history while the chronology traces events from 688 B.C. to 2012 A.D. Not all that much has been written on boxing that is not ephemeral, but much of that literature can be found in the bibliography. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the sport of boxing.

Book excerpt: South London. 1915. Wag, the eldest of twelve in the eccentric, matriarchal Bourton family, sets off for war to escape trouble at home. After returning wounded, he embarks on a seemingly quiet career as an engraver and buys a house for himself and his enigmatic sister Ethel, who filled his thoughts as he was enduring war in the trenches. Decades later, Wag’s nephew Jack is also making his way in South London. After a short spell at Cambridge and a failed attempt to make it as a film producer, he finds himself a job reporting to the notorious Richardson Gang. As Jack is drawn deeper into the sinister and sadistic gangster underworld, he discovers that his Uncle Wag’s apparently tranquil existence may not be all that it seems. Although a generation apart, their paths are about to intersect... Narrated in alternating voices by Wag and Jack, The Book of Wag is a richly woven portrait of South London at a wild, lawless time that has now passed. Part fiction and part family memoir, it draws on the handwritten, unreliable war journal by author Paul Sidey’s own uncle, and other family stories. Dramatic, funny, tender and tense, it is the story of one family’s journey through the ever-evolving landscape of 20th-century London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boxing is no cakewalk! Azumah ‘Ring Professor’ Nelson in the Social History of Ghanaian Boxingexplores the social history of boxing in Ghana and its interesting nexus with the biography of Azumah Nelson, unquestionably Ghana’s most celebrated boxer. The book posits that sports constitute more than mere games that people play. They are endowed with enormous political, cultural, economic and social power that can influence people’s lives in various ways. Boxing is no cakewalk! interrogates the social meaning and impact of boxing within the colonial and postcolonial milieux of popular culture in Ghana. Consequently, it reconsiders the prevailing conception of boxing as adversative to ‘enlightened’ human culture by arguing that it is a positive formulator of individual and national identities. The historicising of sports and the lives of sportspersons in Ghana provides an eloquent backdrop for an understanding of the past social dynamics and their effect in the present. The book’s analytical narrative offers an intellectual contribution to the promising areas of social and cultural history in Ghana’s historiography and the scholarly discourse on identity formation and social empowerment through the popular culture of sports.
