For those raised in a loving and caring environment, where the needs of the child are put first, they never truly understand how the absence of this might feel. That person might seem normal to the outside world. They might function at a high-level, play sports and have a favourite novel just like you. But inside they are empty. Forged by a loveless childhood, David feels nothing for the victims he encounters investigating the dark world of child abuse in south London. Confronted by exploitation and sexual violence on a daily basis and with an ever-growing fury inside him, he embarks on a mission to mete out his own kind of justice.
"The American Civil War rages while President Lincoln's beloved eleven-year-old son lies gravely ill. In a matter of days, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns to the crypt several times alone to hold his boy's body. From this seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of realism, entering a thrilling, supernatural domain both hilarious and terrifying.

The abolition of slavery was not originally a tenet of Lincoln’s political religion. He affirmed almost to the end of his life that the preservation of the Union was more important than ending slavery. This attitude was consistent with ...
The founder of the American Nazi party and its leader until he was murdered in 1967,George Lincoln Rockwell was one of the most significant extremist strategists and ideologists of the postwar period. His influence has only increased since his death. A powerful catalyst and innovator, Rockwell broadened his constituency beyond the core Radical Right by articulating White Power politics in terms that were subsequently appropriated by the one-time klansman David Duke.

He also helped politicize Christian Identity, America's most influential right-wing religious movement, and welded together an interna...

George Lincoln Rockwell flew U.S. Navy fighters against the Germans and Japanese during World War II. After the war, he raised a family with his college sweetheart, worked as a commercial artist - and founded the American Nazi Party. By the mid-Sixties, he was a charismatic national political figure. On August 25, 1967, he lay murdered in a laundromat's parking lot. This is the first time the details of Rockwell's bizarre, hate-filled life have been told.
