Download or read book Never Look Back and Unauthorized Withdrawal written by F. Eugene Barber and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She had enough. He had come home drunk again last night. He didn't hit her but he yelled and ranted and raved. He had been this way since he lost his job of over 20 years. Nobody could talk to him--she least of all. Six months of abuse was enough. "I'm leaving and I'm never looking back. I'm going as far west as I can go." She looked in the rearview mirror and for a second it looked just like the road in front of her. She shook her head and kept driving. "I'm going to be alright." If you notice the cover--the rearview mirror has the same highway scene as through the windshield. _______________________________________________' UNAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL He couldn't forget his grandfather's total loss during the Great Depression--the bank did it. He staked out the bank for two weeks. He made his move. He slipped in just as the guard opened the door at 10:00 am. No customers. Only one clerk had his window open--he grabbed the money and limped out--the heavy blue velcro tied cast showing. Once outside he ran. He got away clean to southern California in one of the eastern canyons where they raised cattle. He was in love. His new girlfriend had found out and said, "You have got to give it back."

Download or read book Behind the Bars written by Frederick John Desroches and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bank robbers. Who are they? Where do they come from? What motivates individuals to commit these crimes? Behind the Bars: Experiences in Crime examines these questions in this intriguing study of the life situations, relationships, and value systems of people who commit serious crimes. Based on eight years of research with law enforcement officials, the media, and interviews with more than eighty Canadian and American bank robbers, Behind the Bars goes behind the facelessness of the crime itself and into the hearts and minds of the offenders. Meet an ex-police officer, drug addicts, compulsive gamblers, a senior citizen, two con-authors, an exotic dancer, family men, informants, and career criminals. Their strikingly candid stories will inspire a great range of emotions, but most of all they will provide greater understanding of criminal behaviour. Frederick J. Desroches humanizes the offender by shedding signficant light on the social and economic conditions of offenders; on the dynamics of criminal partnerships; and on the problems many of these men experience and bring on themselves. Desroches balances the passion of criminals' stories with thematic and theoretical overviews of specific issues to create an exciting account that will capture the attention and imagination of any reader who has ever wondered why criminals commit crimes.

Download or read book Decklan written by Glenn Lauer and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sam Decklan is a seasoned Texas Ranger soldiering in the later part of the ninetieth-century. Having an early career encounter with a Comanche raiding party and barely escaping their torturing imprisonment, he has now splintered off from a southern Ranger regiment and gained a reputation for working alone, freelancing in the New Mexico, Arizona Territories. Known for taking few prisoners, he's commissioned by warrant to take down the killer of a prominent Texas Judge's granddaughter who is murdered in Arizona. Decklan is to follow the wealthy perpetrator into the new state of Colorado and 'render' him to justice. While traveling north, he stumbles across a trio of bank robbers with relations to a prominent rancher in a southern Colorado town. Bringing them back in a manner of his usual practice, he sparks a feud with the owner. Gaining further notoriety after surviving an assassination attempt by the rancher's gun hands, Decklan continues north to his final destination. There, he receives a lesson in big city politics and clever legal maneuverings by the suspect's manipulative lawyer. In the process of finding his quarry, Decklan meets and falls for the murderer's favorite 'woman of leisure', an exquisite beauty with a secret of her own. Their liaison sparks jealousy and after unintended consequences, Decklan's simple assignment becomes all too personal. At odds with the local law and dogged by the lingering rancher feud, Decklan is forced to swim the uncharted waters of a 'civilized' legal system to complete his task and bring new crimes to justice. In the process, he makes friends and enemies alike as he beats the big city legal game in unexpected ways. But in the end, after innocent lives are lost, his commission evolves into a quest not only for due process, but for survival and revenge.
Download or read book The Man Behind the Bridge written by Peter Davies and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lieutenant Colonel Philip Toosey was the senior British officer concerned with the building of the notorious "Bridge over the River Kwai". Toosey understood from the very beginning that the only real issue was how to ensure that as many of his men as possible should survive their captivity. Many thousands who knew how Toosey stood up to their oppressors at great personal risk were incensed by Alec Guinness's brilliant portrayal of 'Colonel Nicholson' in the film version of Boulle's book. This book provides an accurate historical account of the terrible events during which more than 16,000 PoWs died while building the Thai-Burma railway, of which "the bridge" formed an essential part. A memorial to Toosey, this book is also a definitive history of the building of the railway in the context of the Far Eastern theatre of World War II. First published in 1991, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.
Download or read book The Reggie Warford Story written by Scott Brown and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1972, Reggie Warford was a sinewy, lightning-fast, sharp-shooting leftie who was in high demand by such renowned coaches as Bobby Knight at Indiana and Digger Phelps at Notre Drame. When the prolific player was signed by Joe B. Hall at the University Kentucky, he would ultimately become an inspirational scoring force on the team and the first Black basketball player to graduate from the university—instrumental in helping to break the color barriers for generations of students who followed. Scott Brown tells the remarkable story of this trailblazing player and the barriers he broke at Kentucky. Despite a heart condition and health issues that plagued him and eventually claimed his life, his body and spirit exuded a commitment to the game he loved: basketball. From growing up during the Civil Rights era, relating his courage in remaining seated during the singing of "My Old Kentucky Home" (a protest that led to the eventual rewrite of the lyrics), recollections of his seminal games, including the contest against Indiana during which Bobby Knight hit Joe B. Hall, and the Final Four match against UCLA, this is a wide-ranging look at Warford's life and career. The sports legend speaks honestly regarding his college coaching career that was torpedoed by agendas and dubious claims, his life experiences with Muhammad Ali, Larry Bird, and the Harlem Globetrotters, to working with youth at a juvenile detention center and winning a libel suit before the US Supreme Court. Throughout the highs and lows of his life, Warford's mantra "it was all worth it" exudes hope, optimism, and an unwavering determination. More than just a biography, this is an incredible story of inspiration, strength, resilience, and resolve—a testament to a world-class athlete, coach, teacher, mentor, and basketball legend.
