Zustand: Very Good. According to the history books, legendary outlaw Butch Cassidy was killed in 1908 alongside the Sundance Kid in a bloody shootout with the Bolivian Army. Or was he? From master storytellers William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, a page-turning revisionist Western and gripping tribute to a true icon of the Wild West that asks the question: What if Butch Cassidy survived? In a small Texas town in 1950, a Pinkerton detective interrupts an old-timer's game of dominos to learn the truth about Butch Cassidy-who is still very much alive and well. In fact, he's the old-timer playing dominos. Seems that after surviving the infamous shootout in Bolivia that claimed the life of his partner the Sundance Kid, Butch returns to Texas searching for a place to call home. When he comes across a dying rancher who'd been shot by some rustlers, Butch promises to avenge him-and take over the ranch after his death. Assuming the name Jim Strickland, Butch begins a new chapter in his life. But trouble has a way of finding Butch. A corrupt railroad baron pulls him into the most dangerous train robbery he's ever attempted. But if Butch Cassidy is going to ride again, it'll have to be with a newer, and wilder, Wild Bunch . . . JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE LEGENDS NEVER DIE.…

Edgar Hoover forced William C' Sullivan out of the FBI in 1971, Sullivan was his number three man, assistant to Hoover himself, and operationally in charge of all of the Bureau's criminal, intelligence, and espionage investigations. Formerly, Sullivan had been for ten years the Assistant Director in charge of Domestic Intelligence, and a member of the United States Intelligence Board. Few knew more about Hoover more about the inner, often dark, workings of the all-powerful organization he built. And none, before now, has ever told his story. It is a story of primal politics and of revelations about the use and abuse of power that shaped our times. For instance: * How Hoover got John F' Kennedy transferred from the hotel rooms of Washington to a PT-boat in the Pacific. * How Lyndon Johnson very nearly sent the U.S. Marines to invade Mississippi. * How Hoover withheld news of the capture of James Earl Ray in order to release it during Robert Kennedy's funeral. * How Hoover censured an agent who, in his job of answering fan letters, made a mistake in Hoover's popover recipe. * How the FBI burglarized foreign embassies in Washington. * Hoover's attempt to run for President of the United States. * How Lyndon Johnson used the FBI as a personal political tool, going so far as to have FBI agents surveil Senator J. William Fulbright. * Hoover's use of local police to form the basis of a national police force. * The FBI's public relations mill and its control of the press. * How the FBI used sexual entrapment in its espionage projects. * Why Hoover refused to acknowledge the existence of the Mafia. To be sure, many FBI personnel were hardworking and effective; much of their work was admirable, perfumed far from the bizarre world of Washington headquarters. In thirty years with the FBI, Sullivan grew to love this part of his work as he grew skeptical of the motives and actions of his director. As time went on, Sullivan came to feel, finally, that Hoover had done more damage not only to national security intelligence operations, but to law enforcement in general than was ever done in the history of tbe country. It is nothing less than disastrous when yon have unlimited power married to gross incompetence, ignorance, and abnormality. Thus, although Sullivan had helped to build the myth of Hoover, he decided finally to attempt to bring Hoover down and to reform the FBI. The attempt failed. Hoover's forces were too powerful, too entrenched, and Hoover's files too potentially damaging. At Hoover's death in 1972, nothing had changed. Until his own death in a hunting accident, just as he was finishing this book, William Sullivan pursued his vision of an FBI worthy of the country. His story will convince readers of that need. It will, further, shatter the myth that Hoover built for fifty years, the myth of the FBI as a kind of Praetorian moral guard, with Hoover himself as its patriotic and wise Caesar.…
