Summary

A longtime Rochester, New York, police detective tells the behind-the-scenes stories of four of his most memorable cases.   Patrick Crough served more than twenty years as a Monroe County Major Crimes detective, where he investigated some of the region’s most tragic crimes. They include horrifying acts, like that of a Valentine’s Day killing rampage that left four people dead, as well as the case against Ed Laraby, the serial rapist who terrorized women in Rochester and Monroe County. But there are also stories of heroism and bravery: strangers coming to the aid of those in peril, parents who laid down their lives to save their children, and the team of people who put violent criminals behind bars.   In these pages, Crough details four of his most memorable cases—in which he was forced to confront evil and chose to pursue truth.

    Girls just want to have fun ... and so does Wendy Salisbury. It doesn't matter that she's a twice-divorced mother of two with grandchildren pending. She is still vivacious, sexy and glamorous, and far more likely to pull during a night on the town than most women half her age. In The Toyboy Diaries, Wendy shares her erotic tales of love, lust and very young men. Full of tips for attracting handsome young stallions and words of wisdom on the soaring highs and crashing lows of her particular brand of romance, these candid and spicy memoirs are a breath of fresh air. Warm-hearted, outrageous and extremely funny, Salisbury is a daring guide to the manners and mores of toyboy love. Her Diaries are a must-read for older women everywhere in fact, for anyone interested in the erotic adventures of a modern-day Mrs Robinson.

    This annotated Civil War memoir provides a detailed account of General Morgan’s famous battles and raids from a Confederate soldier’s perspective. 
     
    John Marion Porter grew up working at his family's farm and dry goods store in Butler County, Kentucky. He was studying to become a lawyer when the Civil War began. As the son of a family of slave owners, Porter identified with the Southern cause and quickly enlisted in the Confederate army. He and his lifelong friend Thomas Henry Hines served in the Ninth Kentucky Calvary under John Hunt Morgan, the “Thunderbolt of the Confederacy.” 
     
    When the war ended, Porter began writing detailed memoirs of his experiences during the war years, including tales of scouting behind enemy lines, sabotaging a Union train, being captured and held as a prisoner of war, and searching for an army to join after his release. 
     
    Editor Kent Masterson Brown spent several years preparing Porter's memoir for publication, clarifying details and adding annotations to provide historical context. One of Morgan's Men is a fascinating firsthand account of the life of a Confederate soldier.

    A lot has been written about World War II: the triumphs, the tribulations, and the horrors. Tom Clavin’s Lightning Down (2021) includes all three, as he covers the incredible story of Joseph “Joe” Moser, an American pilot who survived his stay at the Buchenwald concentration camp. 
    Buchenwald is one of the most infamous German concentration camps, not for its sheer size, but the absolutely horrifying conditions its occupants had to endure. Joe was one of 170 Allied airmen who were illegally sent there. Only through sheer acts of will and unity were many of those men spared the camp’s most common fate of death. 
    Even after he made it out of Buchenwald, Joe’s story was initially not believed, with many thinking he was over-exaggerating the horrors he experienced and witnessed. Of course, that is not the case, and Clavin spares no detail in retelling it.
