New in a New dust jacket. NO chips tears creases rubbing or fading to the book or jacket. NOT price clipped $27.95. Bright and shiny. Square and tight. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh crisp clean and unmarked -- obviously never read. Bound in the original silver-stamped gray cloth. Complete with dust jacket. The jacket is protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve which is mildly rubbed. About the book: "In the late 1980s Atchison was a managing partner at what was then the Arthur Young & Co. accounting firm. He directed the audit of Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan and was responsible for giving it a clean bill of health. Shortly thereafter Atchison was handed a top executive post with an annual salary of almost $1 million at American Continental Lincoln's parent company. At congressional hearings on the Lincoln S & L debacle Atchison refused to testify pleading the Fifth Amendment. Here Atchison tries to salvage his own reputation; he also disturbingly exploits current anti-Washington sentiment that turns government into the villain and wrongdoers into victims. His tone throughout is belligerently defiant; he portrays Keating as under siege from a hostile enemy. As Atchison tells it Keating was 'extorted' by overzealous vindictive regulators who regularly leaked confidential documents about their investigation because Keating dared to stand up to them." From Wikipedia: "In the 1980s Keating ran American Continental Corporation and the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association and took advantage of loosened restrictions on banking investments. His enterprises began to suffer financial problems and were investigated by federal regulators. His financial contributions to and requests for regulatory intervention from five sitting U.S. senators led to those legislators being dubbed the 'Keating Five.' When Lincoln failed in 1989 it cost the federal government over $3 billion and about 23000 customers were left with worthless bonds. In the early 1990s Keating was convicted in both federal and state courts of many counts of fraud racketeering and conspiracy. He served four and a half years in prison before those convictions were overturned in 1996. In 1999 he pleaded guilty to a more limited set of wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud counts and was sentenced to the time he had already served. Keating spent his final years in low-profile real estate activities until his death in 2014.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket.

1925001989New York: The Macmillan Company 1925. Spine ends lightly frayed. Tiny damp stain to lower page corners in the margin only - text is not affected else Very Good condition. Square tight copy. Illustrated with 200 action photographs. This copy has the bookplate of New York psychiatrist Dr. Dudley D. Schoenfeld a pioneer in the field of criminal profiling who was instrumental in solving The Crime of the Century. Just after Charles Lindbergh's baby was kidnapped and well before the arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann Dr. Schoenfeld was asked by the authorities to examine the ransom notes and other evidence. Dr. Schoenfeld was able to "construct" a profile of the person who committed the crime. While compilation of a psychological profile is common practice in criminal investigations today in 1932 it was ground-breaking. Dr. Schoenfeld conclusions that the ransom notes were likely written by a German man with a criminal past and that he was probably mechanically adept proved to be surprisingly accurate. .

Illustrated with numerous full color portaits and photographs. Bound in the original full color laminated pictorial boards lettered in red white and gray. From the rear cover: "Don't touch it! What is it to you anyway Expressions of scepticism and resignation. That is how people reacted trying to shield me - for various reasons - when they found out what I was working on. Because I had decided to write a book about everything that had happened after September 17 2006 in Hungary in Budapest under cover of the night. About everything that they wanted to keep from us. About the fate of those innocent young people whom the police have picked up in various parts of the city. About the outrage and iniquities that were committed then and subsequently. About the suffering and distress they and their loved ones had to endure. The campaign fought for their rescue was as exciting as the most gripping thriller. True we were not the ones who wrote the script; we only strove to change the projected "outcome". To be honest it was not my intention to be caught up for months in the lives of total strangers. I am not a publicity seeker I don't fancy myself as a heroine and I am tired of the constant skirmishing. I am a woman a wife a mother and a person of good intentions. I am a journalist of long standing who hasn't shed her principles along the way. That is why I could not shirk this task.". 1st ed No additional printings listed. Hardcover.

From the rear cover: "First Conquer Thyself: Socialization of violence and abuse is often highly structured through the Munchausen Complex. Munchausen Syndrome occurs when an individual harms themselves for attention and self-glorification. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is when an individual harms another usually under their care. Attention and self-glorification are achieved through their victim's subsequent medical treatment. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is a crime with a victim. Violence and abuse are often common in families passed down from one generation to the next and may be termed Transgenerational Munchausen Syndrome as these families expand and their habits are introduced into society. Munchausen Syndrome in Collective Transmission occurs when such practices become an acceptable part of society often eventuating into full acculturation. In this way societies attach themselves to self-glorification with various explanations of justification. A Mandated Report is required to be filed by health care legal social service and educational professionals who suspect child abuse as well as developers of film. As socialized beings we are often unaware why we think what we think and why we do what we do. Exploring beneath the surface we may discover we are not who we imagine we are. Are our subtle perversions and aberrations so different from those of the ancients or other cultures we label primitive Censorship is strong when one questions social norms folkways and rituals that address issues of identity. Internal interpersonal and professional conflicts arise. The author was under military orders not to discuss the subjects presented in this part's Mandated Report on child abuse to the social body for the last six years of his U.S. Navy career.".

ABOUT THIS BOOK: As Communism consolidated its victorious grip on Poland in 1947 Jerzy Popieluszko was born into a peasant farming family. Nearly 40 years later as European communism began to crumble his mutilated body was dumped in the Wisla river. In life and death this young and unassuming priest courageous beyond his means lived in his flesh Christ's call to love the enemy to overcome evil with good. This chilling reminder of modern-day totalitarian brutality is surpassed only by the overwhelming hope that the victory of the Truth Christ Crucified brings to today's world. This account includes many of his own writings.He was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0575038306. ISBN/EAN: 9780575038301.
