Newsweek Condensed Books Anyone's Daughter Halbritter's Arms Through the Ages Vicious Circles Beyond Reason Blood Will Tell
Author: Shana Alexander, Kurt Halbritter, Jonathan Kwitny, Margaret Trudeau, Gary Cartwright

Anyone's Daughter by Shana Alexander — She writes about the quintessential news event of the early '70's; the kidnapping and trial of Patricia Hearst; with a depth, a precision, and an imaginative comprehension that brings the fantastic story into focus for the first time. The Hearst drama left few Americans untouched, perhaps because it touched ... more »so many aspects of our lives. It is a story of truth-telling and lies, of shame and pride, of mothers and daughters, men and women, black and white, rich and poor, and of the power of the media. Far more than a brilliant courtroom drama, this is a vivid, sometimes hilarious, often heart-rendering book about America.

Halbritter's Arms Through The Ages by Kurt Halbritter

He notes: "What distinguishes this book from all other histories of weaponry is that, for the first time, it focuses on the hitherto unexplored aspect of arms and armament: design failure." Anyone who may be appalled by the current catalogs of weaponry, which offer gruesome deaths of man's seemingly insatiable appetite to hurt and maim, will after seeing Halbritter's point of view, doubtless breathe a sigh of relief and give way to a belly laugh for he has spent man years researching the Weapons That Might Have Been. They are illustrated here, in meticulous, uproariously funny detail by the author's deadly drawing pen.

Vicious Circles by Jonathan Kwitny

He shows in this shocking expose that the Mafia, and the larger crime syndicate that it dominates, has control over much of what the public regards as legitimate business. And when the Dons dominate the marketplace, they bring with them murder, arson and violence. Through tape recordings of the conversations of businessmen and underworld figures, through police reports, public records, trial transcripts, and personal interviews, this book reconstructs Mob takeovers of several of the major industries that affect all of us daily and shows how American justice let the guilty get away.

Beyond Reason by Margaret Trudeau

She became in 1971 the youngest First Lady in the world. A secret romance with a handsome statesman, twenty-nine years her senior, had taken the beautiful twenty-two-year-old girl from obscurity to fame. The Trudeaus appeared the happiest of couples but not for ever after. Six years, three children, and innumerable State Occasions later, Margaret Trudeau walked out. Now she reveals her own, unique experience of life at the very top. With illuminating frankness she reports on her impressions, her gaffes, her conversations with the famous and infamous, and her struggles with the pressures of public life.

Blood Will Tell by Gary Cartwright

He tells this true story of money, sex, and murder with the energetic zeal of a bloodhound on the scent. It is the story of a torrid August night in Fort Worth, Texas, when a man dressed in black entered a $6 million mansion, put a bullet through the chest of sexy blond Priscilla Davis, and murdered her lover and her daughter. It is the story of the arrest of Priscilla's estranged husband. T. Cullen Davis, a multimillionaire oilman, and of the lurid trail which followed, replete with larger-than-life characters. It is a story filled with suspense and drama. And it is true.
