G-man's Life The FBI Being...

G-man's Life The FBI Being Deep Throat

Author: John O'Connor
Mark Felt
Publishing date: 2006
The first full portrait of one of the most enduringly mysterious public figures of our era - the man who Bob Woodward called "Deep Throat", and who thought of himself as the "Lone Ranger". Mark Felt, one of the most celebrated sources in American history, comes vividly to life in this combination of biography and autobiography. Felt learned spy craft in World War II and rose to the number two position at the FBI. But his place in history was secured when he decided to share his views on the probe of the Watergate break-in with Bob Woodward. Felt assiduously stayed away from "leaking" facts, but as Woodward and Carl Bernstein ploughed their way through the cover-up conspiracy, Felt guided them towards truth and away from errors. Felt's life story would make a good book,

Solidarity for Sale

Solidarity for Sale

Author: Robert Fitch
Publishing date: 2006
A fascinating, definitive history and analysis of American labour union corruption - and an urgent call for social justice - that reads at times like a thriller American labour unions have been, it runs out, shot through with corruption from their very inception. They never really had a Golden Age. From "Big Jim" Colosimo, the patron saint of Chicago's Mafia, to Brooklyn's Sammy "The Bull" Gravano a century later, organized crime has controlled huge swathes of the mainline labour movement. It still does. Impassioned, revelatory, prodigiously researched and reported and thoroughly convincing, Solidarity for Sale shows how the American labour movement's decent ends are continually undermined by its tawdry means - a diet of daily corruption longer than the menu at a Long

Trail of Feathers

Trail of Feathers

Author: Robert Rivard
Publishing date: 2006
When a reporter disappears in Huichol Indian territory in Mexico's forbidding Sierra Madre, newspaper editor Robert Rivard goes on his own long journey to discover what happened to him - and why. In December 1998, "San Antonio Express - News" reporter Philip True vanished during a solo backcountry trek in western Mexico, home of the reclusive Huichol Indians and the Chapalanga, the Twisted Serpent Canyon, a 150-mile-long gash that twists and plunges through the heart of the Sierra Madre. Five days later his editor, Robert Rivard, was part of a small search party that, nearly miraculously, tracked a trail of feathers that had leaked from True's sleeping bag to find the body. "Trail of Feathers" is the story of the search for True and of the quest to bring his killers to

Tulia

Tulia

Author: Nate Blakeslee
Publishing date: 2006
This is one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in recent American history, vividly told by the award-winning reporter who broke the story. In the summer of 1999, in the tiny west Texas town of Tulia, thirty-nine people, almost all of them black, were arrested and charged with dealing powdered cocaine. The operation, a federally-funded investigation performed in cooperation with the local authorities, was based on the work of one notoriously unreliable undercover officer. At trial, the prosecution relied almost solely on the uncorroborated and contradictory testimony of that officer, Tom Coleman. Despite the flimsiness of the evidence against them, virtually all of the defendants were convicted and given sentences as high as ninety-nine years. Tom Coleman was
