Synopsis An unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the men who protect us from the most frightening prospect of life in the age of terrorism "In my mind it's all business; I don't worry about my family I don't worry about a function that I'm doing after work I just worry about what's at hand. And what's at hand is that package." --Detective First Grade Joe Putkowski NYPD Bomb Squad The New York City Police Department Bomb Squad is the oldest such squad in the nation founded in 1903. Each year its thirty-three members make more than two hundred stress-filled "bomb runs" in which they check suspicious briefcases defuse hand grenades and even respond to "art" projects constructed with real explosives. The public rarely sees these men -- and when they do it's usually from a distance telephoto pictures of helmeted figures in ninety-pound suits of Kevlar armor. Starting on December 31 2003 in the heart of the New Year's Eve action in Times Square journalists Richard Esposito and Ted Gerstein had exclusive access to the nation's most elite police unit for an entire year. Their often chilling never-before-told tales from the front line provide an extraordinary view of the domestic war on terrorism. Richard Esposito winner of the George Polk Award for Television Reporting is a reporter and producer on ABC News. He is the recipient of the Silurian and Deadline Club Awards two Associated Press Awards and shares in a Pulitzer Prize. Ted Gerstein has worked for World News Tonight and Turning Point. For the past ten years he has been a producer for Nightline. Both authors live in Manhattan. Hyperion Books Hardcover‎

Liysa and Chris Northon seemed the epitome of idyllic lovers when they married on a moonlit beach in Hawaii. Their friends admired the romantic couple: Chris - tall athletic handsome with a thatch of blond hair a pilot for Hawaiian Airlines - and Liysa - attractive charismatic seductive an acclaimed surf photographer with a tanned perfect body. Their son Bjorn looked just like his dad and they were raising Liysa's son by a previous marriage. They had beautiful homes on the mainland and in Hawaii. But it wasn't long before Chris saw a side of Liysa that he hadn't glimpsed before. Nothing was quite enough for her - she wanted more money more property and a future that included fame as a Hollywood screenwriter. She complained to her closest friends that her husband was a heavy drinker who beat her. The marriage seemed to be unraveling but Chris struggled to hold it together afraid he'd be separated from Bjorn and from Liysa's son Papako. And then the worst happened. On a sunny morning in October 2000 Chris Northon lay dead in a sleeping bag at a campsite beside a pristine river while his wife drove four hours to a friend's house sobbing inconsolably. She appeared to have been beaten and had a black eye and bruises on her knee. Was Chris's death a tragic accident or a deliberate homicide Was Liysa involved Questions arose that made Oregon State detectives suspicious yet her family and friends stood staunchly by her incredulous that anybody would ask such questions.

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were not the lone conspirators in the Oklahoma City bombing-the attack that killed nearly 170 people in a few short seconds.

This book written by the relentless reporter who first broke the story of the Mideast connection is filled with new revelations about the case and explains in full detail the complete and so far untold story behind the failed investigation-why the FBI closed the door what further evidence exists to prove the Iraqi connection why it has been ignored and what makes it more relevant now than ever.

‎Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy‎

Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 237 pages. On Monday morning October 2 2006 a gunman entered a one-room Amish school in Nickel Mines Pennsylvania. In front of twenty-five horrified pupils thirty-two-year-old Charles Roberts ordered the boys and the teacher to leave. After tying the legs of the ten remaining girls Roberts prepared to shoot them execution with an automatic rifle and four hundred rounds of ammunition that he brought for the task. The oldest hostage a thirteen-year-old begged Roberts to "shoot me first and let the little ones go." Refusing her offer he opened fire on all of them killing five and leaving the others critically wounded. He then shot himself as police stormed the building. His motivation "I'm angry at God for taking my little daughter" he told the children before the massacre. The story captured the attention of broadcast and print media in the United States and around the world. By Tuesday morning some fifty television crews had clogged the small village of Nickel Mines staying for five days until the killer and the killed were buried. The blood was barely dry on the schoolhouse floor when Amish parents brought words of forgiveness to the family of the one who had slain their children. The outside world was incredulous that such forgiveness could be offered so quickly for such a heinous crime. Of the hundreds of media queries that the authors received about the shooting questions about forgiveness rose to the top. Forgiveness in fact eclipsed the tragic story trumping the violence and arresting the world's attention. Within a week of the murders Amish forgiveness was a central theme in more than 2400 news stories around the world. The Washington Post The New York Times USA Today Newsweek NBC Nightly News CBS Morning News Larry King Live Fox News Oprah and dozens of other media outlets heralded the forgiving Amish. From the Khaleej Times United Arab Emirates to Australian television international media were opining on Amish forgiveness. Three weeks after the shooting "Amish forgiveness" had appeared in 2900 news stories worldwide and on 534000 web sites. Fresh from the funerals where they had buried their own children grieving Amish families accounted for half of the seventy-five people who attended the killer's burial. Roberts' widow was deeply moved by their presence as Amish families greeted her and her three children. The forgiveness went beyond talk and graveside presence: the Amish also supported a fund for the shooter's family. AMISH GRACE explores the many questions this story raises about the religious beliefs and habits that led the Amish to forgive so quickly. It looks at the ties between forgiveness and membership in a cloistered communal society and ask if Amish practices parallel or diverge from other religious and secular notions of forgiveness. It will also address the matter of why forgiveness became news. "All the religions teach it" mused an observer "but no one does it like the Amish." Regardless of the cultural seedbed that nourished this story the surprising act of Amish forgiveness begs for a deeper exploration. How could the Amish do this What did this act mean to them And how might their witness prove useful to the rest of us 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. John Wiley / Jossey-Bass Inc Pub Hardcover‎

Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Price inside dustcover: $25.95 - Illustrated with photos - 369 pages - NO writing marks or tears inside book - In 1975 thirty-three Peace Corps volunteers landed in the island nation of Tonga. It was an exotic place -- men wearing grass skirts coconut-thatched huts pigs wandering the crushed-coral streets -- governed by strange and exacting rules of conduct. The idealistic young Americans called it never-never land as if it existed in a world apart from the one they knew and the things that happened there would be undone when they went home. Among them was a beautiful twenty-three-year-old woman who like so many volunteers before her was in search of adventure. Sensuous and free-spirited Deborah Gardner would become an object of desire even obsession in the small expatriate community. On the night of October 14 1976 she was found dying inside her hut stabbed twenty-two times. Hours later another volunteer turned himself in to the Tongan police and many of the other Americans were sure he had committed the crime. But with the aid of the State Department he returned to New York a free man flown home at the Peace Corps's expense. Deb Gardner's death and the outlandish aftermath took on legendary proportions in Tonga; in the United States government officials made sure the story was suppressed. Now Philip Weiss unravels the truth about what happened in Tonga more than a quarter century ago. With bravura reporting and vivid novelistic prose Weiss transforms a Polynesian legend into a singular artifact of American history and a profoundly moving human story. HarperCollins Hardcover‎

‎Girls of Tender Age: A Memoir‎

‎Free Press 2005. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-good clean condition. NO remainder marks or dustcover clippings. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. 289 pages. Illustrated. NO writing marks or tears inside book. In Girls of Tender Age Mary-Ann Tirone Smith fully articulates with great humor and tenderness the wild jubilance of an extended French-Italian family struggling to survive in a post-World War II housing project in Hartford Connecticut. Smith seamlessly combines a memoir whose intimacy matches that of Angela's Ashes with the tale of a community plagued by a malevolent predator that holds the emotional and cultural resonance of The Lovely Bones. Smith's Hartford neighborhood is small-town America where everyone's door is unlocked and the school church library drugstore 5 & 10 grocery and tavern are all within walking distance. Her family is peopled with memorable characters -- her possibly psychic mother who's always on the verge of a nervous breakdown her adoring father who makes sure she has something to eat in the morning beyond her usual gulp of Hershey's syrup her grandfather who teaches her to bash in the heads of the eels they catch on Long Island Sound Uncle Guido who makes the annual bagna cauda and the numerous aunts and cousins who parade through her life with love and food and endless stories of the old days. And then there's her brother Tyler. Smith's household was "different." Little Mary-Ann couldn't have friends over because her older brother Tyler an autistic before anyone knew what that meant was unable to bear noise of any kind. To him the sound of crying laughing phones ringing or toilets flushing was "a cloud of barbed needles" flying into his face. Subject to such an assault he would substitute that pain with another: he'd try to chew his arm off. Tyler was Mary-Ann's real-life Boo Radley albeit one whose bookshelves sagged under the weight of the World War II books he collected and read obsessively. Hanging over this rough-and-tumble American childhood is the sinister shadow of an approaching serial killer. The menacing Bob Malm lurks throughout this joyous and chaotic family portrait and the havoc he unleashes when the paths of innocence and evil cross one early December evening in 1953 forever alters the landscape of Smith's childhood. Girls of Tender Age is one of those books that will forever change its readers because of its beauty and power and remarkable wit. Free Press Hardcover‎
