Summary

"A great read and a fascinating retelling of a long-forgotten murder, that still resonates to this very day… for anybody interested in the history of the Silk City!" –Mark S. Auerbach, City Historian, Passaic, New Jersey 
At the dawn of the 20th century, the social unrest in Paterson, New Jersey was palpable. Thousands of Dutch and Italian immigrants flocked to the city, hoping for a job in Paterson's famous silk mills. The burgeoning population ushered women into the workplace, grew suffragist sympathies, and produced an anarchist movement. 
In this charged environment, Jennie Bosschieter, a 17-year-old Dutch immigrant and mill worker, was murdered. Sorrow turned to shock when four wealthy, influential citizens were accused of killing her. The resulting criminal trial held the city – and eventually the nation – transfixed.

    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.” 
    “I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?” (John Lennon) 
    Here, from the extensive private archives of the world’s foremost Beatles historian and author Geoffrey Giuliano, comes perhaps the rarest, virtually unheard interviews with the founder and spiritual heart of the Beatles.

    The story of the author's great-grandfather's Civil War experience, based on a remarkable set of newly discoverd letters—a powerful, moving addition to the firsthand soldiers' accounts of the Civil War.Dear Mother, I was very glad to hear from home this morning. It is the first time since I left Otterville. We marched from Sedalia 120 miles....I almost feel anxious to be in a battle & yet I am almost afraid. I feel very brave sometimes & think if I should be in an engagement, I never would leave the field alive unless the stars & stripes floated triumphant. I do not know how it may be. If there is a battle & I should fall, tell with pride & not with grief that I fell in defense of liberty. Pray that I may be a true soldier.Not since Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage have the trials and tribulations of a private soldier of the Civil War been told with such beguiling force. The Red Badge of Courage, however, was fiction. This story is true.In Testament, Benson Bobrick draws upon an extraordinarily rich but hitherto untapped archive of material to create a continuous narrative of how that war was fought and lived. Here is virtually the whole theater of conflict in the West, from its beginnings in Missouri, through Kentucky and Tennessee, to the siege of Atlanta under Sherman, as experienced by Bobrick's great-grandfather, Benjamin W. ("Webb") Baker, an articulate young Illinois recruit. Born and raised not far from the Lincoln homestead in Coles County, Webb had stood in the audience of one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, become a staunch Unionist, and answered one of Abraham Lincoln's first calls for volunteers. The ninety-odd letters on which his story is based are fully equal to the best letters the war produced, especially by a common soldier; but their wry intelligence, fortitude, and patriotic fervor also set them apart with a singular and still-undying voice.In the end, that voice blends with the author's own, as the book becomes a poignant tribute to his great-grandfather's life -- and to all the common soldiers of the nation's bloodiest war.

    In this special book combo, you can find three separate titles, all related to the topic of “dark psychology.” The titles are these: 
    Book 1: What is emotional intelligence? Does it help us make better, more rational decisions? 
    Can we resist sales tactics and do the math, or do we jump in on emotional trends? 
    Those are some of the things we will discuss here. Other things that will rise to the surface are things like the mind of a psychopath, sinister tactics governments use to spread propaganda through the news, and how we can detect lies and manipulation faster. 
    If any of these things sound interesting to you, then I encourage you to start reading or listening to this book. 
    Book 2: People lie every day. Not everyone, but sadly, many people lie daily. But why? And how do you see what is true and what is not true? 
    This is where this book can help you. This book goes over the context of deception, the lies you can easily spot, and some interesting facts about people’s personality that will shock you. How a personality adds to the things they say, is, of course, significant. Therefore, we will explore that connection. 
    Book 3: We don’t always talk about some of the darker sides of human psychology, but they are out there. The simple truth is that just because you don’t focus on something, doesn’t mean it’s not real. 
    On that note, this book discussed topics such as blackmail, manipulation, and sadism. Some people have been hurt so much that all they want, is to see the world burn. They don’t care about others, and they just use them as tools to get what they want. 
    If you are tough enough to face that dark side, then come on over and start reading or listening to this guide.

    England in the 19th century. Victoria is on the throne. The nation is at its height. An Empire stretching around the globe. Industrial and scientific advancement. Literary and artistic excellence. 
     
    And yet, behind the glow of this supposedly golden age, there lay hidden human misery and extremes of depravity. This was the age of Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and the terrible poverty of millions living in slums. Drink, drugs, prostitution, murder. All these were the norm in the dark and dirty back alleys of the cities. 
     
    In the small village of Pyle Marsh just outside of Bristol, lived a master shoemaker by the name of Samuel Hobley. He and his wife were comfortable and raised five children. The youngest of these was the girl who would later be known as Amelia Dyer. She would become one of the worlds most notorious serial killers. We know her today as the Angel Maker.
