Download or read book The Midnight Assassin written by Skip Hollandsworth and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller, The Midnight Assassin is a sweeping narrative history of a terrifying serial killer--America's first--who stalked Austin, Texas in 1885. In the late 1800s, the city of Austin, Texas was on the cusp of emerging from an isolated western outpost into a truly cosmopolitan metropolis. But beginning in December 1884, Austin was terrorized by someone equally as vicious and, in some ways, far more diabolical than London's infamous Jack the Ripper. For almost exactly one year, the Midnight Assassin crisscrossed the entire city, striking on moonlit nights, using axes, knives, and long steel rods to rip apart women from every race and class. At the time the concept of a serial killer was unthinkable, but the murders continued, the killer became more brazen, and the citizens' panic reached a fever pitch. Before it was all over, at least a dozen men would be arrested in connection with the murders, and the crimes would expose what a newspaper described as "the most extensive and profound scandal ever known in Austin." And yes, when Jack the Ripper began his attacks in 1888, London police investigators did wonder if the killer from Austin had crossed the ocean to terrorize their own city. With vivid historical detail and novelistic flair, Texas Monthly journalist Skip Hollandsworth brings this terrifying saga to life.
Download or read book The Winds of Midnight written by G. Gordon Long and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winds of Midnight - The Tragic Story of the Pattenburg Massacre is a story of human evil, of a night when men of one color hunted men of another and the good people of a town hid in fear. It is also a story of the trials of those accused and of a jury's final verdict. On the night of September 21st 1872, the sleepy village of Pattenburg, NJ, was the scene of a murderous riot among Irish and Negro railroad workers building the Great Musconetcong Tunnel. Before the sun rose, four men lay dead; one Irishman shot by an unknown assailant and four Negro workers hunted down and gruesomely murdered as they fled for their lives. In the aftermath of the slaughter, the village inhabitants remained intimidated by roving gangs of workers, threatening reprisals against anyone assisting the authorities in identifying their leaders. In the months that followed, the local County Courthouse would become the scene of a series of trials that still leave questions as to the justice afforded those murdered. The story of the Pattenburg Massacre and the subsequent murder trials is reconstructed from the pages of newspapers, court documents, and other records of the time, retold through the voices of those who lived through this tragic event.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book for 2011 A Library Journal Top Ten Best Books of 2011 A Boston Globe Best Nonfiction Book of 2011 Bestselling author Tony Horwitz tells the electrifying tale of the daring insurrection that put America on the path to bloody war Plotted in secret, launched in the dark, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was a pivotal moment in U.S. history. But few Americans know the true story of the men and women who launched a desperate strike at the slaveholding South. Now, Midnight Rising portrays Brown's uprising in vivid color, revealing a country on the brink of explosive conflict. Brown, the descendant of New England Puritans, saw slavery as a sin against America's founding principles. Unlike most abolitionists, he was willing to take up arms, and in 1859 he prepared for battle at a hideout in Maryland, joined by his teenage daughter, three of his sons, and a guerrilla band that included former slaves and a dashing spy. On October 17, the raiders seized Harpers Ferry, stunning the nation and prompting a counterattack led by Robert E. Lee. After Brown's capture, his defiant eloquence galvanized the North and appalled the South, which considered Brown a terrorist. The raid also helped elect Abraham Lincoln, who later began to fulfill Brown's dream with the Emancipation Proclamation, a measure he called "a John Brown raid, on a gigantic scale." Tony Horwitz's riveting book travels antebellum America to deliver both a taut historical drama and a telling portrait of a nation divided—a time that still resonates in ours.

Download or read book Phoenix Rising written by Keith M. Nightingale and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insider’s “entertainingly written, brilliantly insightful” account of the Iran hostage rescue attempt—and how it led to today’s special operations forces (General Stanley McChrystal (Ret.)). Phoenix Rising recounts the paradoxical birth of SOF through the prism of Operation Eagle Claw, the failed attempt to rescue fifty-two American hostages in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. When terrorists captured the embassy on November 4, 1979, the Joint Chiefs of Staff quickly realized that the United States lacked the military capability to launch a rescue. There was no precedent for the mission, a mission that came with extraordinary restrictions and required a unique force to take it on. With no existent command structure or budget, this force would have to be built from scratch in utmost secrecy, and draw on every branch of the U.S. military. Keith Nightingale, then a major, was Deputy Operations Officer and the junior member of Joint Task Force Eagle Claw, commanded by James Vaught. Based on Nightingale’s detailed diary, Phoenix Rising vividly describes the personalities involved, the issues faced, and the actions taken, from the operation’s conception to its hair-raising launch and execution. His historically significant post-analysis of Eagle Claw gives unparalleled insight into how a dedicated group of people from the Chief of Staff of the Army to lower-ranking personnel subjugated personal ambition to grow the forces necessary to address asymmetrical warfare and the emerging terrorist threat—a threat the majority of uniformed leadership and their political masters denied in 1979. The Special Operations capability of the United States today is the proof of their success. “Nightingale’s fascinating account of the struggles to stand up the U.S. military’s special operations capability is worth buying just for his first-hand description of the planning behind the effort to rescue the Iran hostages.” —Sean Naylor, New York Times-bestselling author of Relentless Strike: The Secret History of Joint Special Operations Command “Nightingale . . . is a combat leader who has been there and done that in some of the hardest places on the planet. On top of that, he’s a fine and clear writer.” —Thomas E. Ricks, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Fiasco

Download or read book The Lynching of Mexicans in the Texas Borderlands written by Nicholas Villanueva Jr. and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than just a civil war, the Mexican Revolution in 1910 triggered hostilities along the border between Mexico and the United States. In particular, the decade following the revolution saw a dramatic rise in the lynching of ethnic Mexicans in Texas. This book argues that ethnic and racial tension brought on by the fighting in the borderland made Anglo-Texans feel justified in their violent actions against Mexicans. They were able to use the legal system to their advantage, and their actions often went unpunished. Villanueva’s work further differentiates the borderland lynching of ethnic Mexicans from the Southern lynching of African Americans by asserting that the former was about citizenship and sovereignty, as many victims’ families had resources to investigate the crimes and thereby place the incidents on an international stage.
Download or read book The Human Side of Disaster written by Thomas E. Drabek and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of The Human Side of Disaster was published in 2009, new catastrophes have plagued the globe, including earthquakes in Haiti and New Zealand, tornadoes in Alabama and Missouri, floods in numerous locations, Hurricane Sandy, and the infamous BP oil spill. Enhanced with new cases and real-world examples, The Human Side of Disaster, Second Edition presents an updated summary of the social science knowledge base of human responses to disaster. Dr. Drabek draws upon his 40-plus years of conducting research on individual, group, and organizational responses to disaster to illustrate and integrate key insights from the social sciences to teach us how to anticipate human behaviors in crisis. The book begins with a series of original short stories rooted within actual disaster events. These stories are woven into the entire text to demonstrate essential findings from the research literature. Dr. Drabek provides an overview of the range of disasters and hazards confronting the public and an explanation of why these are increasing each year, both in number and scope of impact. The core of the book is a summary of key findings regarding disaster warning responses, evacuation behavior, initial post-impact survival behavior, traditional and emergent roles of volunteers, and both short-term and longer-term disaster impacts. The theme of "organized-disorganization" is used to illustrate multiorganizational response networks that form the key managerial task for local emergency managers. The final chapter provides a new vision for the emergency management profession—one that reflects a more strategic approach wherein disasters are viewed as non-routine social problems. This book will continue to be an invaluable reference for professionals and students in emergency management and public policy and aid organizations who need to understand human behavior and how best to communicate and work with the public in disaster situations.
