Chaos

Autor: Tom O’neill , Dan Piepenbring

Número de Páginas: 366

As featured on The Joe Rogan Experience ______________________________ A journalist's twenty-year obsession with the Manson murders leads to shocking new conspiracy theories about the FBI's involvement in this fascinating re-evaluation of one of the most infamous cases in American history. Twenty years ago, reporting for a routine magazine piece about the infamous Manson murders, journalist Tom O'Neill didn't expect to find anything new. But the discovery of horrifying new evidence kick-started an obsession and his life's work. What had he unearthed and what did it mean: why was there surveillance by intelligence agents? Why did the police make these particular mistakes and why did Tom's greatest ally in this fight turn into his biggest foe? Chaos is an explosive read that will shock, grip and change our understanding of a case that has haunted the world for over fifty years. ______________________________ 'Riveting ... Sensational revelations ... True crime fans will be enthralled.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY '[Full of] scandalous findings ... to me it seems only too plausible. O'Neill's intricately sinister 'secret history' often sounds incredible; that doesn't mean that it's not all...

The City Beneath

The City Beneath

Autor: Susan A. Phillips

Número de Páginas: 321

A sweeping history of Los Angeles told through the lens of the many marginalized groups—from hobos to taggers—that have used the city’s walls as a channel for communication Graffiti written in storm drain tunnels, on neighborhood walls, and under bridges tells an underground and, until now, untold history of Los Angeles. Drawing on extensive research within the city’s urban landscape, Susan A. Phillips traces the hidden language of marginalized groups over the past century—from the early twentieth-century markings of hobos, soldiers, and Japanese internees to the later inscriptions of surfers, cholos, and punks. Whether describing daredevil kids, bored workers, or clandestine lovers, Phillips profiles the experiences of people who remain underrepresented in conventional histories, revealing the powerful role of graffiti as a venue for cultural expression. Graffiti aficionados might be surprised to learn that the earliest documented graffiti bubble letters appear not in 1970s New York but in 1920s Los Angeles. Or that the negative letterforms first carved at the turn of the century are still spray painted on walls today. With discussions of characters like Leon Ray...

Creepy Crawling

Creepy Crawling

Autor: Jeffrey Melnick

Número de Páginas: 480

"Creepy crawling" was the Manson Family's practice of secretly entering someone's home and, without harming anyone, leaving only a trace of evidence that they had been there, some reminder that the sanctity of the private home had been breached. Now, author Jeffrey Melnick reveals just how much the Family creepy crawled their way through Los Angeles in the sixties and then on through American social, political, and cultural life for close to fifty years, firmly lodging themselves in our minds. Even now, it is almost impossible to discuss the sixties, teenage runaways, sexuality, drugs, music, California, and even the concept of family without referencing Manson and his "girls." Not just another history of Charles Manson, Creepy Crawling explores how the Family weren't so much outsiders but emblematic of the Los Angeles counterculture freak scene, and how Manson worked to connect himself to the mainstream of the time. Ever since they spent two nights killing seven residents of Los Angeles—what we now know as the "Tate-LaBianca murders"—the Manson family has rarely slipped from the American radar for long. From Emma Cline's The Girls to the recent TV show Aquarius, the family...

Autor: Grady Hendrix

Número de Páginas: 477

Otra historia envolvente de Grady Hendrix donde la rutina se convierte en terror. A Patricia Campbell su existencia nunca le ha parecido tan insignificante. Su marido es un adicto al trabajo, sus hijos adolescentes tienen su propia vida, su suegra senil necesita cuidados constantes, y siente que siempre va un paso por detrás de su interminable lista de cosas por hacer. Lo único que la mantiene viva es su club de lectura, un pequeño grupo de mujeres de Charleston unidas por su amor a las novelas de crímenes reales. En esas reuniones se habla de todo: desde la familia Manson a asuntos de sus propias familias. Una tarde después de la reunión del club, Patricia es salvajemente atacada por una anciana vecina, lo que le llevará a conocer al atractivo sobrino de esta, James Harris. James es un hombre de mundo y muy leído que despertará en Patricia sentimientos que no había tenido en años. Pero cuando al otro lado de la ciudad unos niños empiezan a desaparecer y sus muertes son ignoradas por la policía local, empezará a sospechar que James Harris es más un criminal que una réplica en carne y hueso de Brad Pitt. ¿Cuál es el verdadero problema? James es un monstruo de una...

The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy

The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy

Autor: William W. Turner , Jonn G. Christian

Número de Páginas: 440

Around midnight, shortly after claiming victory in the California presidential primary on June 5, 1968, Senator Robert Kennedy walked into a deadly spray of gunfire. Immediately the Los Angeles Police Department concluded that the assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, had acted alone. The FBI conducted a parallel inquiry and concurred. And the vast majority of the American people accepted their opinion. In this book -- mysteriously suppressed on its initial publication -- former FBI agent William Turner and investigative reporter Jonn Christian expose evidence that Sirhan did not act alone. Based on more than ten years of intensive research, Turner and Christian raise serious questions about RFK's murder: What was the virtually apolitical Sirhan's motive? Why, if Sirhan was standing in front of his victim, were the fatal wounds in the back of Kennedy's head? Why were there too many spent bullets (some the wrong size) for Sirhan's gun? Did the LAPD discredit witnesses, try to make them alter their stories, and destroy key records? Was Sirhan, in fact, a "Manchurian Candidate," programmed through hypnosis either to kill Kennedy or divert attention while others did the job? The Assassination of...
