  Jesse Woodson James is an iconic figure in American history, often romanticized as a daring bank and train robber, a guerrilla fighter, and the notorious leader of the James–Younger Gang. Born on September 5, 1847, in Clay County, Missouri, Jesse grew up in a region known as "Little Dixie," where the culture and values were deeply rooted in Southern traditions. This upbringing played a significant role in shaping his identity and allegiances throughout his life. 
  During the American Civil War, James, along with his older brother Frank, became embroiled in the conflict, aligning themselves with pro-Confederate guerrillas known as "bushwhackers." Operating primarily in Missouri and Kansas, these groups were notorious for their brutal tactics against Union soldiers and civilian abolitionists. The brothers became followers of the infamous William Quantrill and "Bloody Bill" Anderson, gaining notoriety for their involvement in violent acts, including the Centralia Massacre in 1864, where numerous Union soldiers and civilians lost their lives in a bloody confrontation.

  'Mark Shaw is the foremost analyst of organised crime in SA.' – Jonny Steinberg
  At the dawn of the country's brave new democracy, Cape Town was at war. Pagad, which began as a community protest action against crime, had mutated into a sinister vigilante group wreaking death and destruction across the city. Between 1996 and 2001, there were hundreds of bomb blasts – most infamously at the Planet Hollywood restaurant at the V&A Waterfront – and countless targeted hits on druglords and gang bosses.
  The police scrambled desperately to respond. The new ANC government was shaken. Citizens of Cape Town lived in fear. Who could save the city?
  Mark Shaw tells the incredible tale of how former foes – struggle cadres and the apartheid security apparatus – pulled together to break the Pagad death squads. Out of this crisis emerged the elite law enforcement unit, the Scorpions.
  It is a story that has never been told in full. Now many involved have broken their silence about this pivotal chapter in South Africa's history, which offers far-reaching lessons on how to deal with organised crime today.
