George "Bugs" Moran was the last of Chicago''s spectacular North Side gang leaders, a colorful and violent dynasty that began with Dean O''Banion in 1920. In <em>The Man That Got Away, </em>author Rose Keefe provides the first in-depth look at the enigmatic gangster''s charmed and wacky life from his Minnesota childhood to his early years as a horse thief. She chronicles his two marriages, his rise and fall in Chicago''s Prohibition-era underworld, his life as an independent outlaw in the 1930s and ''40s, and his last days in Leavenworth Penitentiary.In the process of telling Moran''s story, some of the twentieth century''s most fascinating and bewildering gangland figures are revisited: Al Capone, Johnny Torrio, Dean O''Banion, Vincent "the Schemer" Drucci, Earl "Hymie" Weiss, showboating Chicago Mayor "Big Bill" Thompson, the gang-hating but oddly pro-Moran Judge John H. Lyle, Virgil Summers, and Albert Fouts.History did not record the details of Moran''s last confession, but the public record and Rose Keefe''s interviews with Moran''s former associates now allow us to form an educated guess.

I wrote this to bring life to a child who never dwelled among us-to give a voice to one who no longer has a voice, as he can no longer be heard. 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 lives; it scars the men who have fathered them-the unheard children. I pray my voice would speak to the fathers of these unborn children who cannot speak for themselves so they will be heard. I chose to write this book in a narrative style. My goal is to show that while the parents decide the fate of their unborn children, their children do not think of themselves as being anything or anyone less than sons and daughters.If you are considering abortion, I ask that your read this with an open mind and heart. Men, be sure to read this with the woman in which your unborn child dwells. Women, be sure to read this with your child's father. My hearts desire is that in reading or story, you will decide there are options to abortion.

★★★ Behind every smart man is a smarter woman ★★★Rocco Perri was the Al Capone of Canada. Without him, the American market of alcohol would be a little...dry.Rocco 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.

★★★ Some ministers preach...some get locked and loaded ★★★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.The minister went, often alone, into the most dangerous nightspots of 1920s Windsor, and responded to opposition by punching, not preaching.He thought nothing of carrying around a stack of blank search warrants and filling them out himself as needed. He could not be scared or bought, and he survived one assassination attempt after another. It was only when a roadhouse owner who also happened to be a long-time enemy died at his hands that the campaign was finally stopped.His life is told in this short book.
