An amazing book...
I picked up this book in a used book store because I had heard of one of the "murderesses", a woman called Constance Kent, from a film "Dead of Night." That's why I started the book... Little did I know that the book would be one of the most amazing things I've ever read! Highly detailed, immensely educational, and fascinating to read. Ms Hartman must've used a time machine to travel back to ...

England, 1940, and Wife murderer dies on rope
In the closing pages of "WE the Accused", dawn approaches over Tercanbury prison. The peaceful setting is rudely disturbed by the crash of the gallows trapdoor and the crack of the hangman's rope. Thus ends the life of a murderer who, as the author states, was an ordinary man who lost his way and floundered. The book relates how an ordinary man yielded to temptation despite his conscience. It is ...

Huntington House Publishers, 2001

Finally , someone speaks out
This book has helped me tremedously. In fact, one of his cited case law I handed to my lawyer and he used it to help overturn the case. This is a very real problem that very people know about. In his book "How to be strong , when falsely accused" LaMonte McNeese details similar incidents that occured in Mr. Tong's book. Mr. McNeese's book deals more with the psycholocial aspect of being ...

Jeffrey Archer

A&C Black, 2003

The Lord's Last Bow....?
Jeffrey Archer is world known for his bestsellers Kane and Abel, Shall We Tell the President and First Among Equals. This is his second foray into courtroom fiction; almost a decade and- a half after his first play, Beyond Reasonable Doubt premiered. As with any other courtroom drama comparisons with Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution is inevitable, and Archer's play proves itself a ...

Arthur Accused: A Marc Brown Arthur Chapter Book 5 (Arthur Chapter Books)

Marc Brown

Little, Brown Young Readers, 1998

Great Synthesis of Mystery and Comedy
(Cue detective-style voice) Let me tell you about a book. It's a very ordinary kind of book, the kind with both a front cover, a back cover and pages in between. The kind of book in which anything can happen - and usually does. (End detective-style voice) Generally, when you pick up an "Arthur" chapter book, you can rely on an amusing as well as educational story. Any story feature Buster in his ...

Joseph Jett, Sabra Chartrand

William Morrow & Company, 1999

Racism is present on Wall Street and Jett proves it.
When I first read the book, I was sympathetic to Mr. Jett because many times blacks must walk into corporate America with "double consciousness"----knowledge that you have to be twice as good to land and maintain your image in corporate America. Yet, Mr. Jett should have seen the cycle of set-ups. When one of the fund managers asked him "How many blonde women have you f-c-k-ed?" It should have ...

Monsters Accused: Volume 1: Megalomania
Armagh Abruzzo

Inkwater Press, 2008

Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao will live forever in infamy, and rightfully so. For they carried out experiments on humanity that resulted in the abnormal deaths of between 100 and 150 million people. However, as bad as this vast victimization was, it could have been far worse, because Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao were willing to impose mass death on humanity until they reached utopia on earth. So, why did people die in such horrific numbers? ...

Trafford Publishing, 2000

Breath of fresh air in the JFK assassination literature!
Dr. Diane Holloway's new book, The Mind of Oswald, is a breath of fresh air in the JFK assassination literature. As a former FBI agent, attorney, and judge (in fact, I was the presiding judge in the much celebrated case depicted in the recent movie "Boys Don't Cry"), I rely on facts. I am so pleased that someone, and especially a psychologist, has looked at the facts about accused assassin, ...

One of my favorite book
Justice Accused addresses why antebellum judges who opposed slavery nonetheless felt powerless to do any thing but enforce it.

Signet, 1997

Back on form!
Having eagerly devoured the previous Butch Karp/Marlene Ciampi novels, I was disappointed with the last one, Corruption of Blood, which dealt with the Kennedy assassination. But luckily Falsely Accused is right back on track, with our heroes in New York again. Although Butch is working for a firm of civil lawyers and Marlene is striking out on a new and different career, their cases lead them to ...

Fiske Hanley

Eakin Press, 2005

Excellent book, very detailed and interesting.
I recently read this book and found it to be an excellent read. The writing certainly isn't slick and manicured, but instead it is written by a real man who endured these very real experiences and survived to tell about it in a genuine, honest way. As I read it, I could almost imagine an elderly man relaying the story to me in his own words. It is very honestly written and Fiske pulls no punches ...

Accused (A Telos Classic)
Hank Janson

Telos Publishing, 2004

Telos Publishing is proud to bring back into print, after more than fifty years' absence, what most fans agree is one of the very best of the classic era Hank Janson novels. Accused was the most heavily scrutinised book of all in the infamous Hank Janson obscenity trials at the Old Bailey in the mid-1950s, and as a result was effectively banned from British bookshops. Now readers can judge for themselves whether or not this absorbing tale of ...

AuthorHouse, 2006

not as bad as the other reviewer states
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service (and President Kennedy's interaction with the agency), I was much interested in this book by R.E. "Gus" Payne, especially after hearing mixed reviews about his work from other interested researchers. Well, I see some of the criticisms are valid but, that said, the book is well written and it DOES have some interesting info. on the ...

St. Martin's True Crime, 2003

Pre-reading review.
Clearly, this is more of a "preview" than a "review." However, those who offhandedly condemn the author for laying blame at the feet of Longo's cult connections cannot know the psychological and emotional toll they took. The kind of fear-inducing indoctrination used by this group's leaders (common to cults) cannot be so quickly dismissed. I'll be back to comment more intelligently when I have ...

The Jew Accused: Three Anti-Semitic Affairs (Dreyfus, Beilis, Frank) 1894-1915

3 reviews
Albert S. Lindemann

Cambridge University Press, 1992

history as it should be written
In his other book, "Esau's Tears", Lindemann says: "History should not be written in the same way that cases are presented to a jury". He follows this exactly in "The Jew Accused". The book is very clearly written, very balanced, providing a comprehensive background for each of these three famous (and not so famous, as is the case of Frank) trials. Albert Lindemann's style is superb, his ...
