Known by the media as "Hawaii's favorite rascal" Amalu went by many aliases throughout his life. He famously posed as a mysterious Indian Maharaja in San Francisco a banker named Albert Wilcox and a Swiss-based syndicate who went by The Presidium to name a few Amalu is popularly known for his role in a multi-million-dollar real-estate hoax called the 'Sheraton Deal' where he was able to fool wealthy business tycoons who held large swaths of Hawaiian land into believing that the deal was legitimate Amalu was also known to push the lines of social norms in his writing. While incarcerated at Folsom Prison in 1967 serving time on embezzlement charges Amalu gained a position as a columnist for the Honolulu Advertiser in 1968 the column called 'The World of Sammy Amalu' was created. Amalu produced a diverse cache of political and social commentary about gun and prison reform sexuality prison life political issues in Hawaii as well as Knaka Maoli traditions genealogy and history. In 1968 Folsom Prison's warden stopped Amalus columns because prison officials had grown uncomfortable with Amalus work. Public outcry from his readership resounded in pleas to reinstate Amalus right to write. Some of Amalu's fans made their pleas to the then Governor of California Ronald Reagan in hopes of garnering his support to overturn the decision Amalu's columns soon began again. In 1970 Amalu was released from prison on parole. Upon returning to Honolulu Amalu was given a full-time columnist position with the Honolulu Advertiser". First Edition. Softcover.

Manhunt on Command The Real Face of our Rule of Law 2006-2008

2009031170Budapest: XXI Century Institute 2009. Scarce in the US. We have only this one copy but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson Nevada. Entirely in the English language. The cover is in Near Fine condition with only a little very minor shelfwear. Sharp corners. Square and tight. AS NEW inside. Pages are fresh crisp clean and unmarked -- apparently never read. 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. Near Fine - New condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 240 pages. Great Packaging Fast Shipping. XXI Century Institute Hardcover
