The President's Private Eye
THE PRESIDENT'S PRIVATE EYE is the amazing story of one man's journey into history. From New York's Lower East Side to the White House this episodic memoir tells of the orbit traveled by Tony Ulasewicz, the Runyonesque ex-detective who retired from the NYPD to become President Nixon's private investigator, the first ever hired by a President of the United States. Tony "U" carried the badge of a New York City cop for twenty-seven years; twenty of those years as a detective with the Bureau of Special Service & Investigation (BOSSI), the intelligence unit of the NYPD which was known in Washington as the "little FBI" & the "little CIA." No other detective, real or imagined, has ever been involved, center stage or peripherally, in so many historical cases & coverups such as the kidnapping of Professor Jesus de Galindez of Columbia University who wrote a book condemning Dominican Dictator Rafael Trujillo; the conspiracy to blow up the Statue of Liberty by the Black Liberation Front; the effort of George Lincoln Rockwell & his American Nazi Party to march on New York & finally, Chappaquiddick & Watergate, the bookends of Tony's career as President Nixon's private eye.
The Great Shark Hunt
‘Well . . .yes, and here we go again’ Dr Hunter S. Thompson Indeed we do. Here, in one chunky volume, is the best of gonzo. From Private Thompson in trouble with the air force, to the devastating portrait of the ageing Muhammad Ali. Taking in the Kentucky Derby, Freak Power in the Rockies, Nixon in ’68, McGovern in ’72, Fear and Loathing at the Watergate, Jimmy Carter and the Great Leap of Faith – and much more. An indispensable compendium of decadence, depravity and horse-sense. ‘Hunter Thompson elicits the same kind of admiration one would feel for a streaker at Queen Victoria’s funeral’ William F. Buckley ‘No other reporter reveals how much we have to fear and loathe, yet does it so hilariously. Now that the dust of the sixties has settled, his hallucinated vision strikes one as having been the sanest’ Nelson Algren
The Assassinations
"Probing deep into four hidden histories... the material released should dispel any notions of 'lone nuts' or coincidence... These articles cut a clear path through the thick jungle of disinformation that has grown around these events and expose the truly hideous teratomas that thrive and bloom under the canopy of 'national security.'"—New York Press
Caulfield, Shield #911-NYPD
When author John Caulfield was growing up in the South Bronx in the 1930s, the Irish kids were raised to be firemen, cops, or priests. From a young age, he knew his future held one of those options. In this memoir, he narrates the story of his long career in law enforcement a path that was anything but direct. Caulfield, Shield #911-NYPD tells of Caulfield's working first job at a grocery store at age ten, attending Catholic school, playing basketball at Rice High School, earning a basketball scholarship at Wake Forest College, being drafted into the army, and gaining his police shield #911 in 1953. It also details his experiences as an NYPD detective when assigned to its elite Bureau of Spe...
INTELLIGENCE AND PRIVATE INVESTIGATION
While many books have been written about private investigation, this text is different in that it does not deal with the subject from traditional perspectives. It examines how private investigation has grown, particularly since 9-11, into an exacting and sophisticated occupation. The book looks at the key issues in what it describes as private intelligence; that is, intelligence activities practiced by operatives other than law enforcement, national security, or the military. Eleven world experts contribute chapters addressing key practice issues concerning the skills, abilities, and knowledge necessary in the new realm of private intelligence. The initial three chapters provide a report on ...
Nixon
The rise, fall, and rebirth of Richard Nixon is perhaps the most fascinating story in American politics—and perhaps the most misunderstood. Nixon: A Life is the first entirely objective biography of Richard Nixon. Former British Defense Minister Jonathan Aitken conducted over sixty hours of interviews with the impeached former president and was granted unprecedented access to thousands of pages of Nixon’s previously sealed private documents. Nixon reveals to Aitken why he didn’t burn the Watergate tapes, how he felt when he resigned the presidency, his driving spiritual beliefs, and more. Nixon: A Life breaks important new ground as a major work of political biography, inspiring historians to recognize the outstanding diplomatic achievements of a man whose journey from tainted politician to respected foreign policy expert and elder statesman was nothing short of remarkable.
