Untold Stories Of The Exodus
Author: PRAN PANDITPublisher: Zorba Books
ISBN: 9393029385
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
“Mass exodus of more than three hundred thousand Kashmiri Hindus, the religious minority of Kashmir, in the year 1990, is reminiscent of the plight of millions of people who were rendered homeless at the time of division of united India in 1947. Despite lapse of more than three decades, the internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the valley of Kashmir continue to live as refugees in their own country! The book seeks to acquaint the readers with the machinations and maneuvers of the villains of peace, for causing destruction of human life and property in the peaceful valley of Kashmir, and coercing en masse departure of the locals from the land of their forbearers.” “The eruption of terror in Kashmir was not an abrupt phenomenon it had been ‘in-the-making’ for years and decades. It can be said with unmistakable clarity that ‘Terror in Kashmir’ was a measure of the penetration achieved by extremist and separatist elements in creating a broad base for Jehad; and what appeared improbable, did happen in late 80’s. The political establishments did not recognize the trouble brewing in the valley of Kashmir even after the horrendous incidents of subversion and sabotage in 1988 and 1989. The manner of dealing with the crisis situation lacked seriousness; and they utterly failed to fulfill their constitutional obligations.”

The book used by Thandie Newton to research her part in Line of Duty. A lone policewoman disarms a knife-wielding schizophrenic; two officers drag a woman from a railway line seconds before an express train roars past; an undercover cop clings onto the bonnet of a drug-dealer's car as it speeds through a busy town centre. These are just some of the ways Britain's police officers are daily called upon to demonstrate bravery in the line of duty when even the most routine call can turn into a life-or-death situation and split-second judgements can make all the difference. Sometimes officers make the ultimate sacrifice in fulfilling their duty. When PC Bill Parker was swept to his death by floodwaters in Cumbria in 2009, he had been working to save stranded motorists from the same fate. This thrilling collection of first-person accounts of true courage celebrates the sustained bravery and presence of mind routinely displayed by so many officers in England, Wales and Scotland. The stories also reveal an insider's view of the culture, training and techniques police officers use in carrying out their duties.
18 Tiny Deaths
Author: Bruce GoldfarbPublisher: Sourcebooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1492680486
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
A captivating blend of history, women in science, and true crime, 18 Tiny Deaths tells the story of how one woman changed the face of forensics forever. Frances Glessner Lee, born a socialite to a wealthy and influential Chicago family in the 1870s, was never meant to have a career, let alone one steeped in death and depravity. Yet she developed a fascination with the investigation of violent crimes, and made it her life's work. Best known for creating the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, a series of dollhouses that appear charming—until you notice the macabre little details: an overturned chair, or a blood-spattered comforter. And then, of course, there are the bodies—splayed out on the floor, draped over chairs—clothed in garments that Lee lovingly knit with sewing pins. 18 Tiny Deaths, by official biographer Bruce Goldfarb, delves into Lee's journey from grandmother without a college degree to leading the scientific investigation of unexpected death out of the dark confines of centuries-old techniques and into the light of the modern day. Lee developed a system that used the Nutshells dioramas to train law enforcement officers to investigate violent crimes, and her methods are still used today. The story of a woman whose ambition and accomplishments far exceeded the expectations of her time, 18 Tiny Deaths follows the transformation of a young, wealthy socialite into the mother of modern forensics... "Eye-opening biography of Frances Glessner Lee, who brought American medical forensics into the scientific age...genuinely compelling."—Kirkus Reviews "A captivating portrait of a feminist hero and forensic pioneer." —Booklist
