Summit County, Ohio--a quiet midsize city that isn't really known
for anything. In 2011, all of this changed when Summit resident
Richard Beasley used Craigslist to create a job that didn't
actually exist--it was all part of his plan to lure men in. It also
examines how he convinced a 16 year old teen to help murder his
victims. Through gripping, page-turning, narrative this book tells
the story of one of the most notorious Internet killers.
The story is unthinkable: 121 people, sold into human slavery, were
being transported in a small container from Burma into Thailand.
Even though they were suffocating and calling the driver for help,
their pleas were ignored and the people locked in the container
truck were deprived of oxygen. After their frantic pounding caused
the truck to swerve, the driver, afraid of being caught by the
police, abandoned the group. When the truck was finally discovered,
54 of the 121 people were dead. The real story doesn't end with the
horror of that day; it continues on with corruption, cover-ups and
a nation ignoring that human trafficking exists in their country.
This book gives a shocking look into the world of human
trafficking.
Kil Soo Lee was one of the most well-known garment makers because
of his cheap price and quick turn around time--being from American
Samoa was a nice touch because retailers could proudly stamp Made
In America on his clothes. But Lee had a dirty secret to his
success: he forced his workers into labor through deceit. Workers
in his factory were prisoners, frequently abused for not working
fast enough, starved and sometimes raped. Those who wanted to leave
the compound could...for a price: they had to pay Lee $5000. In
this short book, go inside and learn how Lee's garment empire fell.
Real heroes don't just fight with weapons-they fight with
knowledge. At the end of the Vietnam War, Americans had left
thousands of refugees to fend off evil for themselves. When trying
to escape on small boats many were taken by pirates. Some were
raped. Others tortured. Too many were senselessly murdered. Ted
Schweitzer stood alone and fought back against the injustice. He
rescued thousands of women and children from bondage. And then he
too, like the people he rescued, was forgotten into obscurity. From
fighting pirates to helping recover POWs, this book uncovers a
story that should have never been left untold. This book uncovers a
story that should have never been left untold.
On August 22, 1962, Charles du Gaulle, then President of France,
travelled with his wife and entourage through a quiet Paris suburb.
With a shot, everything changed. Over 180 bullets showered the
cars, the streets, the shops. Amazingly, everyone escaped without
injury....but the hunt was now on. Who and why would someone
attempt to kill one of France's most beloved political figures? In
gripping narrative, this book chronicles the planning of the failed
attempted and everything that happened after.
