Download or read book Keep the Wretches in Order written by Dean Strang and published by University of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before World War I, the government reaction to labor dissent had been local, ad hoc, and quasi-military. Sheriffs, mayors, or governors would deputize strikebreakers or call out the state militia, usually at the bidding of employers. When the United States entered the conflict in 1917, government and industry feared that strikes would endanger war production; a more coordinated, national strategy would be necessary. To prevent stoppages, the Department of Justice embarked on a sweeping new effort—replacing gunmen with lawyers. The department systematically targeted the nation’s most radical and innovative union, the Industrial Workers of the World, also known as the Wobblies, resulting in the largest mass trial in U.S. history. In the first legal history of this federal trial, Dean Strang shows how the case laid the groundwork for a fundamentally different strategy to stifle radical threats, and had a major role in shaping the modern Justice Department. As the trial unfolded, it became an exercise of raw force, raising serious questions about its legitimacy and revealing the fragility of a criminal justice system under great external pressure.

Download or read book Poor Naked Wretches written by Stephen Unwin and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disputing the notion that William Shakespeare scorned the rabble, an illuminating look at the complex working people of his plays. Was Shakespeare a snob? Poor Naked Wretches challenges the idea that one of the greatest writers of the English language despised working people, showing that he portrayed them with as much insight, compassion, and purpose as the rich and powerful. Moreover, working people play an important role in his dramatic method. Stephen Unwin reads Shakespeare anew, exploring the astonishing variety of working people in his plays, as well as the vast range of cultural sources from which they were drawn. Unwin argues that the robust realism of these characters, their independence of mind, and their engagement in the great issues of the day, make them much more than mere comic relief. Compassionate, cogent, and wry, Poor Naked Wretches grants these often-overlooked figures the dignity and respect they deserve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "131 women were hanged in England and Wales between 1797 and 1837, executed for crimes including murder, baby-killing, theft, arson, sheep-stealing and passing forged bank notes. Most of them were extremely poor and living in desperate situations. Some were mentally ill. A few were innocent. And almost all are now forgotten, their voices unheard for generations. Mary Morgan – a teenager hanged as an example to others. Eliza Fenning – accused of adding arsenic to the dumplings. Mary Bateman – a ‘witch’ who duped her neighbours out of their savings. Harriet Skelton – hanged for passing counterfeit pound notes in spite of efforts by Elizabeth Fry and the Duke of Gloucester to save her. Naomi Clifford has unearthed the events that brought these ‘unfortunates’ to the gallows and has used contemporary newspaper accounts and documents to tell their stories"--

Book excerpt: A Wretch Like Me is a powerful testimony of what God's saving grace and redemption can do for those trapped in the clenches of addiction. Addiction has no filter. Addiction is controlled by the thief; ready to steal, kill, and destroy. This Christian Living autobiography offers insight to the life, and mindset, of someone trapped inside addiction and eating disorders. Stephanie's life was controlled by bulimia and severe alcohol abuse for over fifteen years. After the tragic death of her daughter, Stephanie gave up on life, and wanted to just simply die. Severe alcohol, abuse, and malnourishment, led to countless seizures from alcohol withdrawals. Nothing was worth living for. After the birth of her second child, the enemy continued to whisper his lies into her ear, "it is all your fault that your daughter is gone," and she believed him. She quickly fell back into the deepest level of torment and Hell that addiction has to offer. Homeless, violently sick of being sick, and painfully alone, Stephanie was finally desperate for change. This book takes you on a journey through the painful life of an addict, visions of Hell, and by God's grace alone, we come out together on the other side, walking in His freedom and truth. If you are struggling with an addiction or alcoholism, this book is for you. If you are trapped by an eating disorder, this book is for you. If you know nothing about addiction other than the destruction it is causing a loved one, and you want to gain insight, this book is for you. If you see the same homeless man asking for help on that same street corner, day after day, and don't know how to help, then this book is for you to give to him. Stephanie's autobiography is raw and unfiltered, but filled with mighty wisdom and truth, guiding you to the solid fact that foot of the cross is always level.
