Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 1977, I was twenty-nine years old. In 2007, thirty years had passed since I became involved in the five murders in my hometown of Cape Girardeau. These five murders affected me profoundly and changed the way I lived my life enormously. I reason that this was because I knew three of the five women and their families, and I had lived with their unsolved cases for half of my adult life. I also thought I knew who committed these horrific crimes.Murder affects more people than the victims. It affects their families and the community. It affects the police who work on these cases, which may go unsolved for years. For those of us who are thrown into the midst of these cases, we become more and more frightened with each clue that unfolds. For some, like me, minds can work overtime. This book is a dramatic account of my experiences over the thirty-year period that these murders went unsolved and cold. I became more cautious and aware of my surroundings. I had heard much about serial killers. I hope that you find this book intriguing and hope it gives you some insight into how life can suddenly take a turn by hurling us into events we never planned for.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - During a pilgrimage to Ernie Pyle's grave at Punchbowl Cemetery in Hawaii in June of 2006, the 65th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, I hoped to find material to write about the event that prompted America to enter theSecond World War.Mr. Pyle provided the inspiration by leading me to the NISEI- second generation Japanese Americans who fought for America during World War II. Thanks to the Terry Shima, Executive Director of the Japanese Americans Veterans Association, several extraordinary stories evolved about the NISEI Soldiers who founded and served in the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Combat Regimental Team and Military Intelligence Service. These accounts provide a remarkable look back into the NISEI lives following the Pearl Harbor attack. Despite the discrimination, not one of these veterans expressed disgust or hatred for how they were treated afterwards. All I repeatedly heard was the intense desire and opportunity to demonstrate their love and loyalty to the United States. Thank God the chance was given them for they have left a powerful legacy for all Americans.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Lady Liberty Weeps: A dream disenchanted addresses one of many avoided subject matters. This land of enchantment as seen from the eyes of the immigrant, as perfect as we envision, rears its ugliness in many ways. As welcoming as some may have experienced, others yearn to be embraced and considered American just as any other. This fictional novel confronts the learned behaviors of racial bias as evident in how some children treat their colleagues. Galen, the main character of this book fell victim to bullying as will be witnessed through discriminatory insults and acts of violence disseminated from these learned biases. Having parents, one may describe as egalitarian, Galen was taught that the rights he was afforded which included the right to be an American, was as deserved as any other person. Denial of such a right either because of racial or ethnic biases, objectively places one in the position of less advantaged, and subjectively to psychological complexes of inferiority. Galen has lived through and survived the stressors of adolescence. His traumatic experience and the strength garnished by four of his teenage friends, proved to hasten a level of maturity not expected of his age group. His belief in God provided strength where there was none to be had through earthly means. Teenage adversity, peer abuse or social insensitivity, regardless of its title, proves damaging to the mental health of our youth. In a society where immigrants, racial and ethnic minorities seem destined to be subjected to abuses, it gives little hope for a better tomorrow. The five friends shared the collective belief that there is good in all of us and were determined to see change blossom from a society that has held on to its prejudices and sought to bring the greatness of America from its dormancy to its wakefulness.…
