Book Description
Excerpt from The Poison Pen of Jersey When a group of radical agitators, affiliated with societies that are among the most persistent advocates of revolutionary principles in America, organize and incorporate themselves under a seemingly altruistic and high-sounding name like "Consumers' Research," the result is the delusive attirement of wolves in sheep's clothing. The object of Communist groups in this country is the subversion of our form of government and our industrial system, by fostering public discontent with existing conditions, to be followed by a popular "uprising." Socialists become Communists by the adoption of the militant attitude of the latter, who favor the use of violence to gain their ends. And when we find that the men who head an apparently innocent business organziation are Communists by profession or affiliation, it becomes a patriotic duty to strip them of their disguises and show that their pretensions to serve the American people are a mere cloak for their ulterior purpose. In this book, "The Poison Pen of Jersey," the author, Frank Dalton O'Sullivan, a noted champion of legitimate business, has performed that public duty. He has torn aside the wooly disguises of Consumers' Research promoters, and exhibits to the public gaze the grinning vulpine features that have been too long concealed by the garb of innocence.

Notorious New Jersey
Author: Jon BlackwellPublisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813543991
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Notorious New Jersey is the definitive guide to murder, mayhem, the mob, and corruption in the Garden State. With tabloid punch, Jon Blackwell tells riveting accounts of Alexander Hamilton falling mortally wounded on the dueling grounds of Weehawken; Dutch Schultz getting pumped full of lead in the men’s room of the Palace Chop House in Newark; and a gang of Islamic terrorists in Jersey City mixing the witch’s brew of explosives that became the first bomb to rock the World Trade Center. Along with these dramatic stories are tales of lesser-known oddities, such as the nineteenth-century murderer whose skin was turned into leather souvenirs, and the state senator from Jersey City who faked his death in a scuba accident in the 1970s in an effort to avoid prison. Blackwell also sheds light on some historical whodunits—was Bruno Hauptmann really guilty of kidnapping the Lindbergh baby? Who was behind the anthrax attacks of 2001? Not forgotten either are notorious characters who may actually be innocent, including Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, and those who have never been convicted of wrongdoing although they left office in scandal, including Robert Torricelli and James McGreevey. Through 100 historic true-crime tales that span over 300 years of history, Blackwell shows readers a side of New Jersey that would make even the Sopranos shudder.
Caroline and Charlotte
Author: Alison PlowdenPublisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0752467433
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Caroline of Brunswick, wife of George Prince of Wales and Prince Regent, and her daughter, Princess Charlotte, lived out their lives surrounded by a cast of characters who might have been lifted straight from the pages of some Gothic novel. Theirs was a saga of passion and pathos, tragedy and black comedy, feuding and fighting - all set in Regency England against a backdrop of Europe in turmoil. The marriage of the Prince of Wales - renowned for his intemperance, hedonism and plain ordinary selfishness - to his cousin Caroline of Brunswick in 1795 was a preordained disaster. The groom is said to have called for brandy when he first laid eyes on the bride, while the bride was later to swear that the groom spent most of their wedding night lying in the grate in a drunken stupor. Brought together for reasons of financial and dynastic expediencey, the couple split up within a year of the birth of their daughter, Charlotte Augusta in 1796. The colourful story of these two fiercely dependent and ultimately tragic women is brilliantly told by Alison Plowden, tapping into a wealth of contemporary correspondence, journals, memoirs and contemporary press reportage. ' Caroline & Charlotte' constitutes a real-life Regency romance which makes gripping and poignant reading.
