The Complete History of Jack the Ripper

Philip Sugden
Carroll & Graf Publishers
, 1995
The best book on the subject yet written.
Unlike most "Ripperologists," Philip Sugden does not have any pet theories to prove. Therefore, like a good historian, Sugden concentrates only on all the facts of the case as they can be cooberated by the primary sources. Very well written and thoroughly researched, The Complete History of Jack the Ripper not only covers each of the known murders in detail, the book also looks at several other ...

EXCELLENT
This book is perfect - It offered everything I was hoping for when I first purchased it. It covered from the end of the 50's and the Beat generation and how their influence lead into the hippie generation, and it ended in the early 70's tying in the beginning of rock and punk. It is a true spectrum of the 1960's counterculture generation. It's a large book but its facinating to learn about ...

A Modern Classic for Thoughtful People Who Care
Having recently reread many of the works of Francis Schaeffer, it seems right to list several lessons he can teach Bible-believing Christians (and others) today. Schaeffer was a prophetic generalist, pastor, apologist, and primarily an evangelist. That latter is how he typically explained himself. 1. Schaeffer had a passion for God and truth. This came out of his intellectual conversion as a ...
