    Ohio. A suicide, no fingerprints, no identity. 
     
     
     
    In July 2002, the Eastlake police discovered a decomposed body in a modest studio apartment in Cleveland, Ohio. It appeared to be a suicide by firearm. The man was Joseph Newton Chandler III, a retiree whom neighbors and former colleagues described as quiet, secretive, and strange. But as the investigation progressed, less and less about Joseph's life and identity made sense. 
     
     
     
    In 2018, thanks to scientific advances in DNA, the man's true identity was finally discovered: Robert Ivan Nichols. A veteran with a wife and three sons, Nichols eventually left his family, telling his wife "One day you will know why." A few years later, in 1965, his family reported him missing. By 1978, he had stolen the identity of Joseph Newton Chandler III, who had been killed in a car accident at eight years old. But who was this man and why did he change his name? What secret was he trying to hide? 
     
     
     
    Thibault Raisse examines the case, exploring the many theories that have emerged, from the craziest to the most credible. Among these theories is a possible connection to the Zodiac Killer, whose murders date back to 1968 and 1969 in California.

    This book bundle explores the military prowess, resistance strategies, and conquests of three formidable warrior civilizations in the Americas: the Mapuche Empire, the Mixtec Empire, and the Tarascan Empire. These societies, known for their resilience, strategic warfare, and ability to challenge powerful enemies, played crucial roles in shaping the history of their regions.   
    Discover the Mapuche Empire, a fierce and independent people of southern South America who resisted Inca and Spanish invasions for centuries. Renowned for their adaptability in battle, use of guerrilla warfare, and iron determination, the Mapuche warriors held their ground against colonial forces longer than most indigenous groups in the Americas.   
    Unravel the history of the Mixtec Empire, a civilization known for its skilled warriors, masterful diplomacy, and sophisticated city-states spread across Oaxaca. Famous for their codices and intricate metallurgy, the Mixtec people engaged in both military conquest and strategic alliances to expand their influence and protect their lands from rival forces.   
    Explore the Tarascan Empire, a powerful rival of the Aztecs that built a highly organized military state in western Mexico. Unlike most Mesoamerican civilizations, the Tarascans developed advanced metal weapons and defensive fortifications, allowing them to successfully resist Aztec expansion and maintain their sovereignty until the arrival of the Spanish.   
    From relentless resistance to tactical supremacy, these warrior societies shaped the course of history through their unwavering spirit and military innovations. This book is perfect for history enthusiasts eager to learn about the fearless civilizations that defied conquest and fought for their survival.
