Download or read book Serial Killers written by Jack Rosewood and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedro Lopez liked hosting tea parties, with corpses as his guests. Daniel Camargo sought out virgins, and took both their virtues and their lives. Luis Garavito became sadistically violent after years of sexual abuse. In Colombia in the 1970s, '80s and '90s, these three monsters cut a swath of terror across a country already ravaged by poverty as well as the casualties of the region's powerful drug cartels. The three are among the most prolific serial killers in the world, and incredibly are believed to be responsible for nearly 1,000 murders of young boys and girls whose positions on the lower rungs of society's ladder made them especially vulnerable. These true accounts of Colombia's most sadistic of sex criminals reveal the awful price they forced the most innocent of victims to pay when their childhood betrayals turned to uncontrollable rage. These chilling true crime stories are the stuff of nightmares, and if you're not left shattered by the sheer number of victims - you'll reel when you learn how little time these madmen served for destroying the lives of so many families already struggling with hardship. It's a serial killer biography that will not only leave you stunned, but also wondering if the infamous Pedro Lopez - released after serving less than 30 years - is still alive somewhere, holding macabre tea parties with his young victims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely, evocative account of a reporter's reckoning with her homeland's volatile past Growing up in the coastal city of Barranquilla, Colombia, Silvana Paternostro indulged in the typical concerns of a privileged young girl: friendships and parties, school and family. But soon it became apparent that life in Colombia would not go on as usual. Strange planes appeared overhead, the harbingers of the marijuana drug trade that would explode into cocaine wars over the next decade, and soon after, a disputed election would lead to demonstrations and kidnappings targeting the affluent landed elite—including Paternostro's family. A revolution was brewing, and the social inequalities reflected in her life would boil over into the most violent, most protracted, and most misunderstood civil war of our time. In My Colombian War, Paternostro journeys back to the place where her family and her closest friends still live, weaving authentic experience into a history of this ongoing conflict. Through interviews she allows us to witness the treacherous war zone that Colombia has become, projected on the daily lives of its citizens. Paternostro's book is a stunning, comprehensive narrative of Colombia's past and present.

Download or read book Colombia written by Richard D. Mahoney and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colombia's recent past has been characterized by what its Nobel laureate Gabriel García Marquez once called "a biblical holocaust" of human savagery. Along with the scourge of drug-related massacres facing the country, politically-motivated assassinations (averaging 30 per day in the 1990s), widespread disappearances, rapes, and kidnappings have run rampant through the country for decades. For many Colombians, the violence oft-invoked in today's immigration debate is a bleak and inescapable reality. And yet, with only eleven years of military rule during its 200 some years of independence, Colombia's democratic tradition is among the richest and longest-standing in the hemisphere. The country's economic growth rate over the last 75 years is among the highest in South America, the overall living satisfaction of its citizens is on par with citizens of France, and it is home to some of the continent's best universities and most dazzling fine and industrial arts. With such contradictions, even to experts, Colombia is one of the most confusing countries in the Americas. In this new addition to the popular What Everyone Needs to Know® series, Richard D. Mahoney links historical legacies, cultural features, and the relentless dynamics of the illegal drug industry to unravel the enigma. He explores the many key issues running through Colombia's history, distinguishing its national experience, and fueling its unquenchable creativity. With concerns surrounding immigration from the US's southern neighbors mounting to new heights, understanding the history and evolution of Colombia has never been more vital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every round, crime can be seen running parallel to society in every way. As the saying goes, sometimes the culprit is present in the house itself. This is also true. Along with the good, evil has always existed on earth since the beginning of time. Evil is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of wrongdoings, such as lying, stealing, various types of crime, murder, rape, corruption, and so on. Why does a person become a criminal? People interpret this question differently, but it is almost impossible to give a solid reason. Many people say that the environment of the house or society is responsible for this. Many people blame poverty. Many people blame illiteracy. But it has been seen that all kinds of people, poor or rich, educated or uneducated, have been found involved in crime. Seeing this, it can be said that the reasons given by the experts may or may not be responsible for this. But after reading these stories, it can be decided that bad deeds have bad consequences. It is best to avoid them. The book presents the heart-wrenching true stories of some of the world's most heinous serial killers and their crimes.
