Jack the Ripper: Straight for the Jugular

Jack the Ripper:Straight for the Jugular

As the autumn of 1888 drew in, 10 weeks of hell were about to be unleashed on London’s East End. Danger lurked in every corner and women were terrified to walk alone at night, as a bloodthirsty, faceless killer prowled the narrow, gloomy alleyways and thoroughfares. Against a backdrop of poverty, violence, and social injustice, at least five women were murdered with incomprehensible savagery.

Over a century later, the question still lingers – who was Jack the Ripper?

With vivid historical detail and impartial analysis, true crime historian Prash Ganendran brings to life the horrific tale of one of the most infamous serial killers of all time. Offering insight into the lives of Whitechapel’s denizens, the stories of the victims, common misconceptions, and the activities of the police and the press, this book eschews idle speculation, going “straight for the jugular”. $0.99 on Kindle.

The Vatican Must Go: A Mexico Story of the Explosive Clash Between Government Power and the Glory of Faith

The Vatican Must Go: A Mexico Story of the Explosive Clash Between Government Power and the Glory of Faith

The historical record doesn’t have much to say about what might have fueled Mexico’s bloody Cristero War and the loss of more than 150,000 lives. Could It be American interests were involved?

It’s the 1920’s, Pancho Villa is gone, and Mexico is just settling into a new, post-revolution form of democratic government.

Vatican influence over the psyche of the country remains an enemy.

Back in the USA, one group of Denver radical evangelicals is waging a powerful domestic assault against Catholic immigration and the sweeping spread of Catholicism. With KKK backing, Masonic Order money, and US government approved assistance, these fanatics decide anti-Catholic political conditions in Mexico are ripe to take their fight down there.

They don’t need to search any further south than Trinidad, Colorado to find the man for the job.

Charlie Coates, who had organized the John D. Rockefeller strikebreaking force during the infamous Colorado Coalfield Wars, was contracted to put together the group of mercenaries needed to foment religious wars south of the border.

Charlie’s tried and trusted para-military Generals, Abe Barton from El Paso and Matt Ketchum from Kansas, re-assemble and train, a group of Mexican braceros Abe had brought north to work the mines.

Abe and Matt are in it for big money and adventure, but when the well-armed and handsomely financed rebel outfit begins organizing the Catholic faithful of Zacatecas state to rebel, an amazing transformation takes place.

Finding true love and living the plight of the common people irreversibly alters our basically decent men’s perception in different ways. $1.99 on Kindle.
