Before 9/11: A Biography of World Trade Center Mastermind Ramzi Yousef

7/26/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
He plotted to kill Pope John Paul...to crash a plane into CIA headquarters...to blow 11 airliners flying from Asia to the United States. But it isn't the things that he plotted that he is known for--it's the one that was carried out: the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Today the attack is largely overshadowed by 9/11, but at the time it was one of the most memorable attacks on American soil.

This book provides insight into Yousef life, his planning of the attacks, and, perhaps, one of the most bizarre twists of fates of any Islamic extremist: how he allegedly became a born again Christian while in prison.

But sometimes, often in the most miraculous ways, they are found--months, even years, later.

Hunted on Ice: The Search for Alaskan Serial Killer Robert Hansen

Beautiful Alaska--a peaceful, natural land where you know your neighbors and don't have to lock your doors. For most people, it's the perfect place to experience nature; for Robert Hansen, it was the perfect place for murder.

Between 1980 and 1983, Hansen went on a murderous rampage killing between 17 and 37 women in the Anchorage, Alaska area. Hansen, a small-business owner and pillar of the community, was also an avid hunter, and used young girls as prey when he decided he needed a more challenging hunt. This book is the gripping account of the hunt and eventual capture of an unlikely killer, who almost got away with it.

Wrongfully Accused: 15 People Sentence to Prison for a Crime They Weren’t Guilty Of

Justice is blind…but it’s not perfect. Everyday, people are convicted or accused of crimes they did not commit. Sometimes the accusations are racially motivated, sometimes they are profiled for the clothes they wear, and sometimes they are just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The 15 people in this book all share one thing in common: they are innocent, but still sent to prison. You will never look at a court room the same way again!
