Book Description
Falun Gong is a modern day spiritual/exercise movement which began in China in 1991 drawing on and combining ancient Chinese traditions. The Chinese Communist Party, alarmed at the growth of the movement and fearing for its own ideological supremacy banned the movement in 1999. Falun Gong practitioners were arrested in the hundreds of thousands and asked to recant. If they did not, they were tortured. If they still did not recant, they disappeared. Allegations surfaced in 2006 that the disappeared were being killed for their organs which were sold for large sums mostly to foreign transplant tourists. It is generally accepted that China kills prisoners for organs. The debate is over whether the prisoners who are killed are only criminals sentenced to death or Falun Gong practitioners as well. The authors produced a report concluding that the allegations were true. Bloody Harvest sets out the investigations and conclusions of the authors.

The Bloody Harvest
Author: Drac Von Stoller
Publisher: Drac Von Stoller
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 10
Book Description
The sun was setting behind the rolling hills, casting long shadows over the fields of corn. The sound of crickets filled the air as the last of the harvesters made their way home, leaving the fields empty and quiet. But as darkness descended, a chilling wind began to blow, carrying with it a sense of unease and the faint, metallic scent of blood. In the small town of Oakwood, nestled in the heart of the countryside, whispers of a curse had been circulating for generations. Every year, during the harvest season, strange and inexplicable events would occur. Crops would wither and die, livestock would fall ill, and the townspeople would huddle together in fear, waiting for the next disaster to strike. This year, however, the curse seemed to have taken on a more sinister form. In the weeks leading up to the harvest, several farmhands had gone missing without a trace. Their families searched desperately, but all they found were abandoned tractors at the edge of the cornfields, engines still running and doors left wide open. As night fell, the local sheriff received a frantic call from a farmer on the outskirts of town. When he arrived at the scene, his flashlight beam revealed a sight that would haunt him for years to come. The farmer's body lay sprawled across his front porch, his chest cavity hollowed out as if something had burrowed its way inside. A trail of viscera led from the corpse into the cornfield, disappearing into the darkness. As the harvest moon rose into the sky, casting an eerie light over the town, a group of teenagers gathered at the edge of the cornfields. Among them was Tara, a bold and adventurous girl with a penchant for exploring the unknown.

Book Description
The steadfast and sturdy Continental Op has been summoned to the town of Personville—known as Poisonville—a dusty mining community splintered by competing factions of gangsters and petty criminals. The Op has been hired by Donald Willsson, publisher of the local newspaper, who gave little indication about the reason for the visit. No sooner does the Op arrive, than the body count begins to climb . . . starting with his client. With this last honest citizen of Poisonville murdered, the Op decides to stay on and force a reckoning—even if that means taking on an entire town. Red Harvest is more than a superb crime novel: it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in the American grain.

Harvest of Death

Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781461021902
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
** This is a revised Second Edition - April 2014 ** **The editing issues that were in the original work have been corrected. In addition, the revised second edition now includes over forty pages of additional photographs, some never before published, of the commanders as well as how the battlefield looks today from several key places on the battlefield.** In the spring of 1864 following the failed Red River Campaign, two vast armies marched across Southern Arkansas. The Federal Army, trying desperately to get back to the safety of Little Rock, having marched toward Louisiana in support of the Union's failed invasion of Texas was running out of food and supplies. Union General Frederick Steele knew he had to get his army back to the safety of Little Rock if they were to survive. In hot pursuit of the Federals were thousands of Confederates under command of General Edmund Kirby Smith. Their mission: destroy the Union Army at all cost. As both armies marched north toward Little Rock, the rain that had plagued the march early on had returned with a vengeance, turning the Federal retreat into a mud march. Standing in the way of the Federal retreat was the rain swollen Saline River crossing at Jenkins' Ferry. The frustrated Federals were forced to construct a pontoon bridge across the rising river slowing their march, enabling the Confederates to close the gap. The resulting Battle of Jenkins' Ferry was one of the largest and certainly one of the most vicarious in Arkansas Civil War history. Harvest of Death: the Battle of Jenkins ' Ferry, Arkansas is the first major work dedicated to the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry in fifty years. Author Joe Walker tells the story of two armies and their epic clash alongside the Saline River. Through the use of previously unpublished photographs and stories, Walker brings the battle to life as never before. Through the use of a previously unpublished map of the battle, drawn by a Confederate Engineer shortly after the battle, Walker shows the battle in a completely new light and changes forever the way historians believed the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry was fought. Walker also discusses the discovery of previously forgotten accounts of the battle that suggest the Federal Army used more that skill and tactics to out battle the Confederates - they may have outwitted and defeated the Confederates through one altered courier dispatch - an alteration that may have affected the outcome of the battle and changed the balance of power in Civil War Arkansas. The Battle of Jenkins' Ferry, Arkansas was one of the most violent Civil War battles in our history with accusations of atrocities committed by both sides. It will make you rethink the history of Civil War Arkansas.
