Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A nun is brutally murdered, sisters and elderly priests beaten savagely beaten. Catholic churches burglarized. Homes invaded and families terrorized. A soon to be federal judge, his grandson, and the most influential black Baptist minister in St. Louis shot, as is a detective from the Robbery Squad. Other coppers are shot at. The barbarism of the gangs is connected to the four primary black heroin dealers in the St. Louis area and is due to the pursuit of five priceless gold coins minted at the direction of the King of France in the 1700s. The coins are invaluable as they are reputed to each contain the tiniest sliver of the Holy Cross on which Christ was crucified. The pressure to end the reign of terror is mounted by every imaginable element of St. Louis's population. The Mafia gets involved-both on the side of the community as well as against it. The police chief places the Special Operative Deployment Division, also known as Special Ops or SODD, commanded by Lt. J.E. Donovan, under the command of the Chief Of Detectives who is known for his ruthless pursuit of criminals in order to protect the citizenry. Deaths follow in the wake of the pursuit of the Barbarians responsible for the reign of terror. And only three members of SODD wonder if the Mafia and a corrupt cop within their Division are involved.…

548, (1) pages. With some illustrations on plates. Black original cloth binding and an illustrated dustjacket in very good condition. 24x16 cm * Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly, Alvin Karpis, "Dock" Barkerthese were just a few of the legendary "public enemies" for whom America's first supermax prison was created. In Alcatraz: The Gangster Years, David Ward brings their stories to life, along with vivid accounts of the lives of other infamous criminals who passed through the penitentiary from 1934 to 1948. Ward, who enjoyed unprecedented access to FBI, Federal Bureau of Prisons, and Federal Parole records, conducted interviews with one hundred former Alcatraz convicts, guards, and administrators to produce this definitive history of "The Rock." Alcatraz is the only book with authoritative answers to questions that have swirled about the prison: How did prisoners cope psychologically with the harsh regime? What provoked the protests and strikes? How did security flaws lead to the sensational escape attempts? And what happened when these "habitual, incorrigible" convicts were finally released? By shining a light on the most famous prison in the world, Ward also raises timely questions about today's supermax prisons. ----- Alcatraz ist eine 8,5 Hektar große, etwa 500 Meter lange und bis zu 41 m hohe US-amerikanische Felsinsel in der Bucht von San Francisco, Kalifornien, rund 2 km vor dem Festland. Auf der Insel wurde 1854 der erste Leuchtturm an der US-amerikanischen Westküste in Betrieb genommen. In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde sie als Standort für ein befestigtes Fort genutzt. Bereits ab 1861 war darin ein Kriegsgefangenenlager für Gefangene Konföderierte während des Sezessionskrieges eingerichtet worden. Anfang der 1930er Jahre wurde das Fort zur Gefängnisinsel umgebaut und fungierte von 1934 bis 1963 als eines der zur damaligen Zeit bekanntesten und berüchtigtsten Hochsicherheitsgefängnisse der USA. Aufgrund zu hoher Betriebskosten wurde das Gefängnis 1963 aufgegeben. 1964 sowie von Ende 1969 bis Mitte 1971 gelangte die seit der Schließung der Haftanstalt für die Behörden als unbewohnt geltende Insel Alcatraz durch politisch motivierte Besetzungsaktionen der Indianerbewegung zu erneuter öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Inzwischen dient die Insel als museale Touristenattraktion. Alcatraz steht als Teil der Golden Gate National Recreation Area unter der Aufsicht des US National Park Service.
