Download or read book Black Ghost written by Freddie Villacci, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Ghost follows the story of legendary assassin Bic Green, AKA Black Ghost, as he takes out America's ten wealthiest citizens to generate a quarter of a trillion dollars in estate death tax revenue to fund a congressmen's corrupt bill. Rookie FBI Agents Mack Maddox and Caroline Foxx piece together the connections between the seemingly unrelated and accidental deaths of America's richest-while also dealing with issues from their own pasts and their unexpected feelings for each other. This novel is an action-packed thriller-clever, violent, exciting and surprising. But it's also a deeply character driven novel. Through Mack and Caroline's journey of love, betrayal, death and redemption as they pursue the Black Ghost, they realize perfection is one of life's grand illusions; that it's not our failures that define us, but our response to those failures that reveal our true character. This goes for Bic as well-what happens when an assassin acquires a conscience? Is he just murdering for money, or is he a serial killer using contracts as an excuse to make his rage filled ritualistic kills? And most importantly, can he make himself stop?
Download or read book Black Ghost of Empire written by Kris Manjapra and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1619 Project illuminated the ways in which every aspect of life in the United States was and is shaped by the existence of slavery. Black Ghost of Empire focuses on emancipation and how this opportunity to make right further codified the racial caste system--instead of obliterating it. To understand why the shadow of slavery still haunts society today, we must not only look at what slavery was, but also the unfinished way it ended. One may think of "emancipation" as a finale, leading to a new age of human rights and universal freedoms. But in reality, emancipations everywhere were incomplete. In Black Ghost of Empire, acclaimed historian and professor Kris Manjapra identifies five types of emancipation--explaining them in chronological order--along with the lasting impact these transitions had on formerly enslaved groups around the Atlantic. Beginning in 1770s and concluding in 1880s, different kinds of emancipation processes took place across the Atlantic world. These included the Gradual Emancipations of North America, the Revolutionary Emancipation of Haiti, the Compensated Emancipations of European overseas empires, the War Emancipation of the American South, and the Conquest Emancipations that swept across Sub-Saharan Africa. Tragically, despite a century of abolitions and emancipations, systems of social bondage persisted and reconfigured. We still live with these unfinished endings today. In practice, all the slavery emancipations that have ever taken place reenacted racial violence against Black communities, and reaffirmed commitment to white supremacy. The devil lurked in the details of the five emancipation processes, none of which required atonement for wrongs committed, or restorative justice for the people harmed. Manjapra shows how, amidst this unfinished history, grassroots Black organizers and activists have become custodians of collective recovery and remedy; not only for our present, but also for our relationship with the past. Timely, lucid, and crucial to our understanding of the ongoing "anti-mattering" of Black people, Black Ghost of Empire shines a light into the deep gap between the idea of slavery's end and its actual perpetuation in various forms--exposing the shadows that linger to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Critics Circle Award Winner: “The terrifying story of the worst disaster in the history of the US Forest Service’s elite Smokejumpers.” —Kirkus Reviews A devastating and lyrical work of nonfiction, Young Men and Fire describes the events of August 5, 1949, when a crew of fifteen of the US Forest Service’s elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for forty years, Norman Maclean puts together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy in this extraordinary book.
