Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The mystery money mover.'- The Sydney Morning Herald'The beauty of the book you hold in your hands is that it offers a unique and perfect insight into the money-laundering world.'- Howard Marks, aka Mr. NiceWhat started innocently enough led Bruce Aitken to moving millions of dollars for some of the world's most notorious and shady characters - including the CIA, government officials, financiers and well-known drug lords.It was a life of first-class flights and five-star hotels - a lavish, globe-trotting lifestyle, yes, but one always fraught with risk too.And in the end, it all caught up with him. Aitken was illegally kidnapped by American agents, and suddenly found himself staring down the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars.Howard Marks, aka 'Mr. Nice', writes in his foreword: 'I first met Bruce in the early 1980s . and we immediately formed a solid rapport. He was a master of his chosen trade and helped me clean up some cash that I had earned through smuggling. Reading about his two decades of laundering vividly brought back to me all the excitement, glamor and sheer fun that an international jet-setting life of crime invariably imparts [as well as] the paranoia and nerve-racking horror of his chosen lifestyle.'Mr. Clean has also been optioned by Hong Kong production company Moonlight Entertainment Ltd for TV series development, with Oscar-winning Producer/Director Malcolm Clarke and Producer Stuart Sender attached. Aitken's adventures make for pulsating drama: readers will be gripped by his tales of close shaves and disastrous slip-ups, good times and bad, beautiful friendships and shocking betrayals. Along the way he encounters an incredible cast of characters, from buccaneers and misfits to 'drug dealers, government agents and sometimes just plain old lunatics,' bears witness to corruption, kidnappings, sting operations, acts of moral depravity and moments of shocking violence, and even visits Soviet Russia on unspecified off-balance sheet business for Uncle Sam. In the mid-80s, Aitken starts to wind down his operations. Too late: America's alphabet agencies already have him in their sights and are about to start making it known. What follows is a personal and judicial fiasco. Deported to the US from Thailand and denied bail, he is confronted with the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars, and has to summon every ounce of his resilience - and his faith in God - to fight what he believes are phony indictments.'For much of the 1970s and 1980s, Bruce Aitken ferried cash around Asia. Some of his clients were marijuana smugglers.'- The New York TimesMore information, PR material, etc: onehour.asia.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - To understand the New Testament well, it is important to study the larger world surrounding it, and one of the primary avenues for this exploration is through reading related ancient texts, a daunting task for scholars and novices alike given the sheer size of the ancient literary corpora. The ALNTS series aims to bridge this gap by introducing the key ancient texts that form the cultural, historical, and literary context for the study of the New Testament.This volume explores two vital strands of ancient Jewish literature: (1) the Jewish apocrypha and (2) the Septuagint (the Old Greek translations of the Hebrew Bible). These text-collections reveal the rich and dynamic Jewish environments in which early devotion to Jesus Christ first emerged. Intriguing on their own, these text-collections also backlight the life of Jesus and the faith of his earliest followers, adding contours of depth to the writings of the New Testament in relation to the Jewish matrix of their time.Contributors: Samuel L.

12mo, 2 pp. Twenty-eight lines of text. Good, on lightly-creased paper. Lockhart's signature has been docketed in ink (by Aitken?) 'Sir Robert'. A letter of condolence on the death of Aitken's father. Reminisces about the 'moment I came into his life', a 'luncheon at Charkley' soon after the First World War: 'The only other guest was Augustus John. [.] as you know, I learnt much from him. Indeed, it was he who taught me how to write, and in his house I met numerous people whom, but for him, I should never have known.' He considers that Beaverbrook treated him 'nobly'. He will keep the last letter he received from Beaverbrook: 'It was an original letter and, as you know, he always wanted originality in every writer and newspaper correspondent'. Beaverbrook was 'a very great and generous man' and Lockhart feels sure that his son 'will follow in his steps'. He hopes to see him, but is 'too old now to come often to London. I wish you a great future.'.…
