Summary of David A. Yuzuk's The Giant Killer
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I spoke with retired ATF agent Fred Gleffe, who said he had worked with Richard Flaherty on a big case. He said it was true that Richard was one hell of an undercover operator. He asked me not to contact anyone else involved in the case, as it could be dangerous for my career. #2 Richard James Flaherty is a 69-year-old man who lives in south Florida. He is small in stature, but his body is perfectly proportioned. He has maintained that body since his teens, and people often think he is an athlete. #3 On May 9, 2015, eight hours after my phone call to agent Gleffe, the rain had stopped and the streets were already dry. Flaherty went to sleep under his usual palm tree. He was sleeping in his customary upright position with his backpack bolster ed against the base of the tree for padding. #4 The violent impact of the crash sends Flaherty flying through the air, landing fifteen feet away. His backpack separates from his body and flies forward, landing on the street.

A Soldier's General-An Autobiography
In this engrossing book, General Singh gives us insights into how decisions about the nation's security are taken at the highest levels of government, whether it is Siachen, the conduct of war (Kargil) or the massing of troops on the border (Operation Parakaram). General Singh also addresses some controversial issues, including the irresponsible 'communal spin' given to a case linked to the 'age issue' of the last army chief, which had the potential to rupture the secular and apolitical fabric of the armed forces. Bringing alive the charm and adventure of an army life lived to the full, General Singh also gives us astute analysis of many critical issues: the challenges from Pakistan and China, the threats of terrorism, insurgency and Naxalism, the importance of military diplomacy, and the way forward for the armed forces in a rapidly changing world.
The Fox and the Flies
At the end of the nineteenth century European pimps and 'white slavers' established a hugely successful global market for commercial sex and for three turbulent decades before the First World War, Joseph Silver was central to this hidden world of betrayal, intrigue, lust and sexual slavery. Burglar, gun-runner and trafficker in women on four continents, Silver was a disturbed adolescent, youthful predator and adult misogynist whose notoriety was captured in the most confidential correspondence of a dozen countries in the western world. But what those in charge of law-enforcement agencies kept to themselves was how their officers had attempted to use Silver as an informer to infiltrate syndicates, only to have him outwit them as he moved in the dangerous space between police and prostitutes. In this brilliant study, Charles van Onselen situates the private life of one man amidst the demi-monde of the Atlantic world and casts a brilliant light on the most infamous serial killer of all time - Jack the Ripper.
