Download or read book Brother Versus Brother written by Ron L. Haywood and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most times estranged, fate lures two brothers to center stage on opposing sides of northern and southern courtrooms. Siblings are transformed into jaded sparring partners as they battle in the ring of the criminal justice system. Rivalry on steroids, they very much resemble knockoffs of a modern-day Cain and Abel or Jacob and Esau with aggressive, heartless actions that provoke reckless reactions devoid of compassion. Such counter action lead to devastating consequences, which puts into question the moral compass of both brothers. "Justice"—exactly what is it? Brother versus Brother explores the societal phenomenon of "justice" from a northern, urban big-city perspective with diverse ethnic backgrounds and cultures. This extraordinary story reaffirms a "code of justice" spoken of on many occasions by the ancient judges: "In those days...everyone did what was right in his own eyes."

Download or read book Brother Against Brother written by Ehud Sprinzak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking and controversial study of the rising tide of militancy in Israel, Ehud Sprinzak lays bare the historical roots of violence in Israeli domestic politics, examining the effects such militancy has had on the nation's civic culture. He traces the origins of the extremist thread to the era of the founding of the Jewish state, and shows how it has grown increasingly malignant in the past decade, culminating in the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER takes the reader through the critical turning points in Israeli political history and introduces us to the leaders whose careers were baptized by blood. Through his exploration of the disputes between David Ben-Gurion's Labour Movement and Menachem Begin's Irgun movement, Sprinzak argues that their legacy of conflict provided the inspiration for such agitators as Meir Kahane and the Orthodox radicals behind the Hebron massacre of 1994 and Rabin's assassination. Despite Sprinzak's disturbing accounts of violence, he remains optimistic that when peace between Israeli's and Arabs is reached and the great debate about borders of the nation is finally laid to rest, Israeli political violence will decline dramatically. BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER provides an incisive and extensively researched historical perspective on Israeli politics and opens a new chapter in our understanding of one of the world's most fascinating nations.

Framed. Bullied. Disliked. But I know I can still be the best. Sometimes, 12-year-old Donte wishes he were invisible. As one of the few black boys at Middlefield Prep, most of the students don't look like him. They don't like him either. Dubbing him "Black Brother," Donte's teachers and classmates make it clear they wish he were more like his lighter-skinned brother, Trey. When he's bullied and framed by the captain of the fencing team, "King" Alan, he's suspended from school and arrested. Terrified, searching for a place where he belongs, Donte joins a local youth center and meets former Olympic fencer Arden Jones. With Arden's help, he begins training as a competitive fencer, setting his sights on taking down the fencing team captain, no matter what. As Donte hones his fencing skills and grows closer to achieving his goal, he learns the fight for justice is far from over. Now Donte must confront his bullies, racism, and the corrupt systems of power that led to his arrest. Powerful and emotionally gripping, Black Brother, Black Brother is a careful examination of the school-to-prison pipeline and follows one boy's fight against racism and his empowering path to finding his voice.

Download or read book Brother Against Brother or The Tompkins Mystery written by John R. Musick and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scene occurs in what is now West Virginia. It is west of the mountain range, but where, on every hand, are frowning precipices, deep gorges and swift-flowing torrents. On the right, the jutting headlands are crowned with huge old boulders, just peeping out from the thicket of evergreens and creeping vines which surround them. Although not called mountainous, it is a country whose picturesque heights and umbrageous valleys would excite a degree of enthusiasm in the bosom of a lover of the beautiful. Down in those lonely valleys, almost hidden in their leafy groves, was the home of many an old Virginia aristocrat. The great, gnarled oak standing upon the verge of some miniature precipice, and glooming sullenly through the misty rain, seems but part of some pictured scene. Far in the distance, faintly penciled against the misty sky, rise headlands to what seems an enormous height, about them a dark mass of clouds, like some giant's garment caught upon the peaks and blown about at the will of the wind. It envelops and conceals the highest peaks, leaving the imagination to add to the belief in their stupendous height.

Download or read book Me Against My Brother written by Scott Peterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a foreign correspondent, Scott Peterson witnessed firsthand Somalia's descent into war and its battle against US troops, the spiritual degeneration of Sudan's Holy War, and one of the most horrific events of the last half century: the genocide in Rwanda. In Me Against My Brother, he brings these events together for the first time to record a collapse that has had an impact far beyond African borders.In Somalia, Peterson tells of harrowing experiences of clan conflict, guns and starvation. He met with warlords, observed death intimately and nearly lost his own life to a Somali mob. From ground level, he documents how the US-UN relief mission devolved into all out war - one that for America has proven to be the most formative post-Cold War debacle. In Sudan, he journeys where few correspondents have ever been, on both sides of that religious front line, to find that outside "relief" has only prolonged war. In Rwanda, his first-person experience of the genocide and well-documented analysis provide rare insight into this human tragedy.Filled with the dust, sweat and powerful detail of real-life, Me Against My Brother graphically illustrates how preventive action and a better understanding of Africa - especially by the US - could have averted much suffering. Also includes a 16-page color insert.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story on a tragic fate of an artist, thinker and author, Vitaly Gunin, whose works and whose visionary gift have predicted the future, warning about the irreversible consequences of the destruction of our world. Vitaly Gunin (1964-1990) - artist and carver, designer and businessman, poet, visionary, the host of musical programs and professional expert on music, impresario, chairman of the first in Bobruisk (and, probably, in Belarus) versatile cooperative LiK - has lived less then full 26 years, but has achieved during his short life more than others, who went for eternal rest in very old age. The Messenger of Light, and the most wonderful person in my life, he was killed by the System and by the perversity of its representatives (symbolically - by the Evil Forces), and his demise has opened the first page of the beginning of universal Apocalypse. His tragedy and death: it is a cosmic accident of grand scale, and it is not casual that inexplicable, frightening phenomenon were associated with his last days, and first days right after his death. The climate catastrophe and the pollution of the vital environment, which is carrying genetic mutations; the dangers connected with inhuman technologies and AI; and other threats to the very existence of the human race: are the actions of the same forces and human monsters that killed my brother. Vitaly's posthumous tragedy is that his artworks - painting (see the 2nd volume: pictures oil), graphics (3rd volume), woodcarving (4th volume), design and design-architectural works (5th volume), posters and so forth, - remained unclaimed, and become dusty in suitcases and bags, decaying from time. His stories, verses; his horrible and tragic Diary: are not published. Memory of him, the person who did so much for his hometown (Bobruisk): erased from city’s history. About the all-Union rock festival organized by it(him), about premieres of the well-known films, concerts of known stars it is not mentioned anywhere. And even its(his) grave on the Bobruisk cemetery has grown with bushes and a grass, thrown and lonely....
