Genghis Khan by Hitori-Nakamoto...

Hitori-Nakamoto

Genghis Khan by Hitori-Nakamoto 
In the expansive landscape of human history, few figures loom as large as Genghis Khan. His name conjures up deeply polarized images - brutal warrior, visionary leader, ruthless conqueror, and inspired empire-builder. By charting his early life and improbable rise to power, this book aims to provide insight into the experiences that forged this polarizing, larger-than-life figure.  
  
Rising from obscurity on the harsh Mongolian steppe, Genghis Khan would establish the largest contiguous land empire the world had ever seen. At its peak, this empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan, encompassing illustrious cities like Beijing, Kabul and Baghdad within its realm. His vision of empire, his mastery of cavalry warfare, and his skill at uniting fractious nomads under his banner transformed medieval Eurasia forever. 
  
To comprehend the genesis of this world-changing figure, we must explore his early life and the tribulations that steeled his unyielding ambition. Born as Temüjin around 1162 CE into an atmosphere of tribal warfare, betrayal and blood feuds, his childhood was dramatically reshaped by the poisoning death of his father, leaving his family abandoned and destitute. As explored in Chapter 1, these experiences of loss and humiliation fostered in Temüjin a dream of uniting the perpetually warring Mongols into a single people.

Dig Me a Grave - The Inside...

Dick Harpootlian, Shaun Assael

Of the hundreds of murder cases that noted South Carolina attorney Dick Harpootlian has prosecuted, one in particular haunts him. Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins was a serial killer and rapist, a master manipulator who claimed to have killed over 100 people and is known to have murdered over a dozen. Yet it was on Death Row that he pulled off his most audacious murder—killing another inmate with a military grade explosive.As personable as he was ruthless, Pee Wee defied easy categories. He killed to avenge minor slights as well as for pleasure, using any convenient method. Evidence suggested he forced at least one victim to dig his own grave, stand in it, and be shot.Pee Wee murdered acquaintances, friends, family members, and strangers. Yet within his community he was well-liked—a family man who took neighborhood kids to the beach and hosted cookouts. Ice-cold within but outwardly charming, he joked with judges, reporters, and Harpootlian himself, but didn't hesitate to hatch a plot to kidnap the prosecutor's daughter in order to extort an escape.Dig Me a Grave is a haunting look at a prolific, remorseless killer, as well as a provocative exploration of justice and the death penalty.
