The Forbidden Hunter

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the annals of American crime, the Unabomber case stands as a haunting reminder of the destructive power of a single individual driven by radical ideology. This gripping narrative takes readers on a journey into the mind of Ted Kaczynski, a brilliant yet deeply troubled man who waged a campaign of terror that spanned nearly two decades, leaving a trail of shattered lives in its wake.

From his early years as a mathematical prodigy to his transformation into a recluse consumed by anti-technology sentiments, we trace the evolution of Kaczynski's radical beliefs. His manifesto, a chilling document that outlined his grievances against modern society, became a manifesto for those who shared his disdain for the technological advancements that were rapidly changing the world.

As the Unabomber's attacks grew in frequency and severity, a nationwide manhunt ensued, captivating the nation's attention and sparking a massive investigation that would ultimately lead to his capture. We follow the dedicated team of FBI agents and forensic experts as they painstakingly piece together the clues, drawing closer to the elusive figure behind the bombings.

The Unabomber's reign of terror left an indelible mark on American society, raising profound questions about the balance between individual liberty and public safety, the role of technology in our lives, and the nature of domestic terrorism. Through a meticulous examination of the case, this book provides a deeper understanding of the motivations behind Kaczynski's actions and the far-reaching consequences of his destructive ideology.

In this comprehensive exploration, we uncover the hidden connections between Kaczynski's personal history, his intellectual development, and the social and political context that shaped his worldview. We delve into the psychological factors that contributed to his radicalization and examine the impact of his actions on the lives of his victims and the nation as a whole.

The Unabomber's story serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the dangers of isolation and extremism, and the importance of addressing the underlying issues that can lead individuals down a path of violence. As we revisit this chilling chapter in American history, we gain valuable insights into the complexities of human behavior and the urgent need for understanding and prevention.

The Last Jewish Gangster: The...

David Larson

“A captivating and different kind of story” about the life of Bugsy Siegel’s godson, from the author “who captured his voice” (Nick Pileggi, author/screenwriter of Goodfellas and Casino).

In 1944 Brooklyn, newborn Michael J. Hardy is rejected by his mother so she can run with gangster Bugsy Siegel, Hardy’s godfather. Shirley Rook rose to the top of the criminal ranks. As the Queen of New York City crime, she laundered Mob money, ran the city’s largest bookmaking operation, and handed payouts to dirty cops, politicians, and judges.

To win his mother’s love and respect, Hardy became a fearless gangster. Throughout his career as a mercenary, he robbed banks and drug dealers alike, ran a kidnapping ring, and even became a hired gun. At his lowest, he ended up doing time for his mother’s counterfeiting operation in Mexico’s most dangerous prison.

Hardy’s criminal code of conduct combines elements of tough Ukrainian Jew and warm Southern Baptist, whether dealing with family and friends or fellow inmates during a combined twenty-six years spent in prisons and jails. He maintained this characteristic gregarious strength throughout his astonishing life in which Hardy was shot eleven times, committed fourteen hits for the Mob, twice wore wires for Rudy Giuliani to nab dirty cops, wrote a letter to JFK to get out of military prison, choked the Hillside Strangler, shared prison time with notorious criminals, and even spent ten years in Hollywood, cast in non-speaking roles in B-movies.

“A fascinating character study of an unapologetic criminal. David S. Larson masterfully weaves this tale in Michael Hardy’s own words, resulting in a powerful, inside story of a gangster’s life.” —Cathy Scott, Los Angeles Times-bestselling author
