Illustrated with photos. Tight spine clean pages. Pages show light tanning. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Synopsis: George Jung was a high-school football star and local teen idol whose uneventful upbringing in a middle-class Massachusetts suburb did not portend his ambitious rise as an international drug kingpin nor his vanguard position as the gringo connection trusted by the Colombian Medellin cartel to help infiltrate the burgeoning American cocaine market. Jung's golden opportunity came in 1974 after an arrest landed him in a Danbury Connecticut prison for a twelve-month stint for it was here that he met Carlos Lehder a young Colombian car thief who had direct connections to the then-fledgling cocaine operation in his native land. Through Lehder Jung won the confidence of Pablo Escobar of the tightly knit Medellin cartel whose family intrigues rivaled those of the Mafia. With Escobar's limitless supply of coke they set up an elaborate import scheme that eventually supplied more than 80 percent of the cocaine in the United States for the next fifteen years grossing nearly $35 billion annually and reaching blizzard proportions by 1985 when an estimated 125 tons of the snow-white powder entered the country. The ride eventually came to a screeching halt when Jung was ensnared in a joint law-enforcement undercover sting operation in 1985 and his fortunes unraveled. HarperPaperBacks Paperback‎

Tight spine clean pages. 220 pages. Publishers Weekly: In 1985 in Lone Tree Iowa well-to-do farmer Dale Burr killed his wife his banker and a neighbor then committed suicide. He had feared that he would lose his farm and hence the work of his family for three generations although that may not have been the case. Using this tragedy as a springboard Brown Mountain in the Clouds a third-generation farmer himself discusses the history of farming in England from the time of Henry VIII to the repeal of the Corn Laws and in America from colonial days to the present. We learn that in this country since independence farmers were subject to cyclical crises until the New Deal and its program of subsidies; in more recent times this program has been almost eliminated and the result has been the increasing failure of family farms. As a true crime tale the book is pedestrian but as a sermon on the possible grim fate of the American farmer it is powerful. Crown Pub Hardcover‎

Number line: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 287 pages. Synopsis Thirteen-year-old Christy Scheck was having trouble at home. Angry with her tough no-nonsense father she kept running away often disappearing for days at a time. When the family therapist proposed that Christy spend some time just down the road at the Southwood Psychiatric Center the Scheck family - including Christy herself - readily agreed. But something went terribly wrong. On March 6 1992 while on full-time suicide watch Christy Scheck was found hanged with the sash of her terry-cloth robe wound tightly around her neck. In A Wrongful Death bestselling author Leon Bing documents the gripping story of a mother's search for the truth behind the death of her child. That quest helped bring down one of the nation's most powerful mental-health providers National Medical Enterprises Southwood's parent company. In the course of her research Bing found that Southwood was an institution corroded by greed and bad management with a corporate system designed to extract extraordinary levels of profit: insurance claims processed to maximize reimbursements; staff "charting" parties in which patients' records were changed to reflect a need for continued treatment; psychiatrists' hours drastically reduced; and families shut out of the decision-making process. All of these activities ensured that during the time she was a patient Christy Scheck did not receive proper or even adequate treatment. As a result her three-month stay at the facility ended in her suicide. Annotation: ".a critical examination into the suicide of Christy Scheck who hanged herself in a psychiatric center despite being on suicide watch and how Scheck's mother investigated the mental-health provider and helped bring them down." Publishers Weekly: In November 1991 Christy Scheck's parents brought her to Southwood Psychiatric Center in Chula Vista Calif. for help. Their 13-year-old daughter had moved beyond adolescent acting up to theft and self-mutilation. They didn't know that the hospital's CEO was using devious means to make a profit in an era of increasingly stringent insurance company guidelines. Records were rigged to indicate need for continual treatment; families were excluded from decision-making; and while psychiatrists' hours were reduced therapy sessions were conducted by unlicensed mental-health counselors and interns. The dangerous hallucination-inducing dosages of medication given to Christy were only one element of the poor care at SPC. Worse Christy was only casually monitoreddespite being on a suicide watchand after four months at SPC she killed herself. Within weeks the Schecks brought a lawsuit against SPC and National Medical Enterprises NME the hospital's $4 billion corporate parent. Bing Smoked documents the downfall of NME and she intertwines the Scheck tragedy with a litany of illegal practices and the excesses of corporate greed. "Marketing was God" a former Southwood marketing executive told the author. Bing who was motivated by her own experiences as an employee at a San Fernando Valley psychiatric facility in 1985 skillfully combines conversations with the Scheck family and with former SPC personnel with exhaustive research into financial figures and reports of related cases. This is a powerful and moving story complete with a villainous corporation a heroic mother and a sadly pathetic victim that is certain to interest filmmakers. Villard Books Hardcover‎

Synopsis Six months before the Oklahoma City bombing Morris Dees warned the U.S. Attorney General that the fast-growing militia movement posed serious threats. He saw the possibility of imminent danger that few understood. Dees and his associates had tracked far-right paramilitary groups and their racist leaders since the early 1980s sometimes using daring undercover operations. In retaliation his law office had been burned and attempts made on his life. In this revealing account Dees names names and places tying together for the first time the events the players and the history that gave life to the militia armies now operating across the country. He explains how hard-core racists and neo-Nazi leaders used the deaths of Randy Weaver's wife and son at Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidian tragedy at Waco to convince thousands that our government was preparing for a war against its own citizens. Gathering Storm goes behind the scenes beyond the friendly-looking militia leaders seen on TV talk shows to explore secret paramilitary cells training deep in mountainous back country. Similar fanatics with close ties and fueled by the same antigovernment zeal have lived in our midst for more than a decade. These "super patriots" Dees shows see themselves in a life-and-death struggle to reclaim the country. These militias do not operate in a vacuum but are close cousins to the religious right and ultraconservative politicians. They are fueled by the ban on assault weapons strident radio talk show hosts and those who preach hatred of government. Dees suggests ways to combat the militias and offers ideas on how to recapture the political debate. HarperCollins Hardcover‎

‎Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley‎

‎Ballantine Books 2003. Book. Very Good . Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. NO remainder marks or dustcover clippings. Dustcover shows slight wear NO tears. NO tears inside book. Tight spine. 670 pages. Illustrated. The first 83 pages in book front show light-pencil writing/underlining. Does NOT interfere with reading can be erased. Synopsis: Handsome accomplished and charming Henry Stuart Lord Darnley staked his claim to the English throne by marrying Mary Stuart who herself claimed to be the Queen of England. It was not long before Mary discovered that her new husband was interested only in securing sovereign power for himself. Then on February 10 1567 an explosion at his lodgings left Darnley dead; the intrigue thickened after it was discovered that he had apparently been suffocated before the blast. After an exhaustive reevaluation of the source material Alison Weir has come up with a solution to this enduring mystery. Employing her gift for vivid characterization and gripping storytelling Weir has written one of her most engaging excursions yet into Britain's bloodstained power-obsessed past. Publishers Weekly: Mary Queen of Scots 1542-1587 has for centuries fascinated historians and the general public her life the stuff of Hollywood myth involving murder rape adultery abdication imprisonment and execution. In bestselling historian Weir's Henry VIII etc. able hands we see the young Catholic queen ruling over Protestant Scotland and a group of unruly nobles. Mary's second husband Lord Darnley participated in the 1566 murder of Mary's favorite adviser David Rizzio after which Mary and Lord Darnley became estranged. Darnley himself was murdered the next year and some historians have claimed that Mary plotted his death so she could marry her lover Bothwell. But Weir argues convincingly that the evidence against Mary is fraudulent part of a coverup initiated by rebellious lords. Weir tells how and why Darnley was killed and shockingly reveals that Bothwell whom Mary did marry was one of the murderers. Mary's lords took up arms against her and she was forced to abdicate fleeing to England where she expected her cousin Queen Elizabeth to help her regain her throne. Instead Mary was held captive for 16 years and finally beheaded for plotting Elizabeth's assassination. Mary could not hope for a better advocate than Weir who exhaustively evaluates the evidence against her and finds it lacking. Mary's ultimate sin according to Weir was not murder but consistently "poor judgment" especially in choosing men. This is entertaining popular history that will satisfy fans of Weir's previous bestsellers. 16 pages of color illus. Biography: Alison Weir is the author of four other books on English history including Eleanor of Aquitaine. She lives outside London with her husband and two children. Ballantine Books Hardcover‎

Price insid edustcover: $23.00. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Tight spine clean pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 221 pages. From Publishers Weekly By revealing the full scope of the damage that Michael Milken's junk-bond empire inflicted on the U.S. economy Stein Financial Passages forcefully refutes the notion that Milken's scam increased national productivity. This concise punchy expose is the best and clearest guide yet to the workings of Milken's money machine. Stein an economist and lawyer who reported on Milken for Barron's shows that insider trading was merely a lucrative sideshow for the Milken team at Drexel Burnham Lambert. Milken he states also earned millions by churning trading clients' accounts to increase commissions by "sucking the blood of captive S & Ls like a vampire" and by taking a hefty cut of the greenmail paid by besieged companies to Drexel-backed corporate raiders. The Securities and Exchange Commission knew in the early 1980s of Milken's stupendous price fixing but did nothing a lapse Stein blames on Reagan-appointed SEC officials. He also shows how the Milken claque rallied moguls accountants the Harvard Business School and the New York Times to its cause. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information Inc. From Library Journal Milken is the corporate villain America loves to hate. Unlike Jesse Kornbluth who was sympathetic toward the former junk bond king in his recent Highly Confident Stein wastes no time in going for the jugular. He feels that Milken was very much in charge of the Drexel Burnham Lambert junk bond operation in its heyday in the 1980s and knew that he was selling a product that was based on deeply flawed financial analysis. By misrepresenting the bonds' default rates he was in effect creating a classic Ponzi scheme resulting in losses of billions of dollars not only for Drexel clients but also for insurance companies and savings and loans S&Ls that had bought junk bonds for their investment portfolios. As a result many of these institutions were driven into insolvency leading to the federal bailout of the S&Ls. If current headlines are any indication this sad scenario will be with us for years to come. A topical addition for all business collections. - Richard Drezen Merrill Lynch Lib.

Unable to keep a job he moved in with his mother and slept twenty hours a day on her sofa. In 1982 a 21-year-old cocktail waitress in Ada named Debra Sue Carter was raped and murdered and for five years the police could not solve the crime. For reasons that were never clear they suspected Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder. With no physical evidence the prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to death row. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair this book will infuriate you. Doubleday Hardcover‎

What do all of these once ballyhooed but now reviled corporations have in common besides bankruptcy and a passel of soon-to-be-indicted senior executives They all share a thirst for quick profits at the expense of investors employees and the most basic of business ethics. The Tao of Enron shows how the core values at Enron led inevitably to its implosion. By sketching out the stories of several of the principal players in this debacle the authors show how pride impatience a lust for power and the ability to mentally separate issues of faith from the practice of business joined forces to destroy one of America's most admired "young" companies. Authors Chris Seay and Chris Bryan examine the universal issues of faith we can learn from this Fortune 500 fallout. The hard-learned lessons can benefit not merely the boardroom but also the living room. Anyone can fall prey to the same lust for power possessions and status that poisoned Enron. Considering that in 1997 over 57 percent of Americans believed you sometimes have to bend the rules to get by in life Barna Research this book is necessary in helping us inspect our goals and beliefs and how they play out in our everyday lives. All of us must choose between two roads that stretch out before us--and all of us are "this close" to the dark side. NavPress Hardcover‎
