The  Pirate Hunter: The True Account of American Librarian Ted Schweitzer Pursuit to Free Refuge At the End of Vietnam

6/29/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
Real heroes don’t just fight with weapons—they fight with knowledge. At the end of the Vietnam War, Americans had left thousands of refugees to fend off evil for themselves. When trying to escape on small boats many were taken by pirates. Some were raped. Others tortured. Too many were senselessly murdered. Ted Schweitzer stood alone and fought back against the injustice. He rescued thousands of women and children from bondage. And then he too, like the people he rescued, was forgotten into obscurity.

From fighting pirates to helping recover POWs, this book uncovers a story that should have never been left untold.

This book gives the often forgotten history of how it happened, who was involved, how they were treated, and the apology that came years later.

It doesn't take a genius to commit a crime, but it takes a special kind of stupid to get yourself caught, as the criminals in this book prove. This book boasts 50 bite-sized bios with bungling, bone-headed burglars, embezzlers, and bank robbers. From bragging about your crimes on police Facebook pages to dialing 911 while stealing a car, these people prove that an idiot can commit a crime, but probably shouldn't.

Delivery of Death: The Shocking Story of the Ranong Human-Trafficking Incident

6/21/2013

Picture
The story is unthinkable: 121 people, sold into human slavery, were being transported in a small container from Burma into Thailand. Even though they were suffocating and calling the driver for help, their pleas were ignored and the people locked in the container truck were deprived of oxygen. After their frantic pounding caused the truck to swerve, the driver, afraid of being caught by the police, abandoned the group. When the truck was finally discovered, 54 of the 121 people were dead.

The real story doesn't end with the horror of that day; it continues on with corruption, cover-ups and a nation ignoring that human trafficking exists in their country. This book gives a shocking look into the world of human trafficking.

Picture
Graham Young had an unusual obsession from a young age. Where most youths might be interested in music and sports, Young was fascinated by poisons. By the age of 14, he was using his family (who, of course, didn't know) as experiments. In 1962, still a teen, his stepmother died from one of his poisoning experiments.

Young eventually confessed to the murder of his stepmother and the attempted murder of several other members of his family; he was sent to a mental hospital for nine years, where he was ultimately released fully recovered. Unknown to the hospital, however, Young was actually using his time in the mental hospital to study medical texts and improve his poisoning skills. His true work as a poisoner had only just begun!

This gripping narrative gives you a page-turning look at one of England's most notorious serial killers: Graham Young.
