The double murder story you'll never forget. Told by insiders who lived it. Enhanced by photos not seen for half a century. A unique true crime experience awaits you in "Mr. X and Mr. Y." Veteran journalist Donald Brown covered the story as a young reporter and now recreates it vividly. On a farm in northeast Alabama, two men are shot to death, hacked apart and their remains scattered across countryside familiar to the killer. Who they were, why such gruesome deaths, who did it and other discoveries big and small all combine to give this book stand-alone qualities.
"Here is a book that I can strongly recommend for a variety of reasons. It is well written, it is scholarly, but its greatest appeal lies in the posing of an important question and in the offering of a satisfying (to this reviewer, at least) answer."ÑJournal of Historical Geography "This is an intriguing and stimulating study of historical differences in the indigenous historiography of parts of Asia, the Middle East, and Europe."ÑAmerican Anthropologist."
"Starting at age 13 when his father's suicide spun his family into chaos, Donald Brown found himself swirling in a sea of uncertainty. He rebelled, was labeled a loser; dropped out of high school; and put a promising baseball career on hold to join the Marines. A bizarre accident put his plans out of reach so he settled for a factory job where an industrial accident crushed his knee and left him wheelchair-bound. Doctors told him he'd never walk again. Then, his marriage failed. Brown felt utterly defeated. But while on morphine for pain Brown dreamed he would graduate from Harvard Law School and walk across America. Everyone told him he was crazy. Undeterred, over the next few years, Brown would accomplish both goals. This awe-inspiring story chronicles Brown's journey, both physical and metaphorical, to recalibrate his life"--Page 4 of cover.
