A wonderful gift for any military history enthusiast.
'Part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich' But that's just
part of it. His fingers, too, are 'long and beautiful'. Improbably
coiffed, perma-tanned and bronze-tongued, the Donald has
increasingly impinged on the world's consciousness through a string
of startling pronouncements. From his preference for war heroes who
have not been captured, to his references to his sleeping around in
the 1980s as his 'personal Vietnam' or this - 'My grandparents
didn't come to America all the way from Germany to see it get taken
over by immigrants' - Trump's utterances are nothing if not
intriguing. As he once said, and to date this has been hard to
dispute, he 'could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot
somebody, and [he] wouldn't lose any voters.' Here, in his own
words, is the businessmen, the dealmaker, TV personality, author
and one-time Democrat, now Republican who would be president of the
United States.
The global smash-hit Netflix documentary mini-series, Tiger King,
introduced viewers to the weird, crazy and chaotic life of private
zoo owner and big cat breeder, Joe Exotic, and his war against
Carole Baskin. Baskin, who runs the Big Cat Rescue in Florida, a
sanctuary for abused and abandoned wild cats, waged a long legal
battle to have Joe's exotic animal park in Oklahoma shut down for
the maltreatment of his animals. But Carole had her own dark past
and Joe wasn't going down without a fight; he responded by plotting
to have her murdered. Tiger Wars delves deeper into this
stranger-than-fiction tale and tells the shocking story of this big
cat war, the cult-like characters involved and the spiral of
obsession that landed Joe Exotic in jail and exposed the dark heart
of America's big cat obsession.
When the news broke in May 2013 that three women had been held
captive for over ten years in Cleveland, Ohio, the world was
stunned. Not only had the women been imprisoned in an ordinary
house a few blocks from where they had disappeared, but their
captor, Ariel Castro, had never been a suspect in their kidnapping.
The revelation sent shockwaves through the community and sparked
widespread fear among the inhabitants of seemingly normal
neighbourhoods everywhere. This is not a standalone case. In 2008,
42-year-old Elisabeth Fritzl emered from the cellar of her family
home in Austria, having been imprisoned and raped by her father for
24 years. In the UK, the 'British Fritzl' held his two daughters
captive for 28 years - moving frequently enough not to raise
suspicion - and fathered seven children by them.
