Selig Harry Lefkowitz, alias Big Jack Zelig, was New York's first great gangster boss. Like many of his pre-Volstead contemporaries, his historic impact has been overshadowed by Al Capone and Murder Inc. He is listed in today's crime anthologies primarily because four members of the gang, along with corrupt cop Charles Becker, died in the electric chair for the July 1912 murder of gambler Herman Rosenthal. In New York City from 1908 to 1912, however, Zelig inspired admiration and fear, and he was synonymous with the word 'gangster.' New York editor Herbert Bayard Swope recalled that The...

Reverend Spracklin was a gangster's worst nightmare. Known to the press and public as the 'Fighting Parson', he and his handpicked squad of dry agents burst into the roadhouses of Essex County with pistols drawn and fists clenched. They chased liquor-laden vehicles through dark city streets and along rough country roads, and intercepted rumrunners on the Detroit River in their high-powered speedboat, the Panther II.

Rocco Perri was the Al Capone of Canada. Without him, the American market of alcohol would be a little...dry. He is frequently cited as the most successful bootlegger of Canada, however, for one important reason: his wife, Bessie Perri. If Rocco was the King of Bootlegging, Bessie was the obvious queen. With page-turning suspense, this gritty book looks at the brains behind Canadian bootlegging and how her cutthroat ways forever changed the landscape of both prohibitions.

Any fan of mobs and gangsters will get a kick out of this anthology of organized crime; three stories are included. They include The Fighting Parson, Public Enemy #1, and Sam the Cigar. These books may always be purchased individually."

I wrote this to open the eyes of women who might be considering abortion. I wrote this for men who fear being fathers. I wrote it for myself, because though I lived through it, I needed to work through it. I had to tell my story to complete my healing. This book is my story about how my wife's abortion affected me. I hope to share it with millions of men who may have been where I once was...or are there now. Abortion not only destroys children's...
