Chi-Town by William E. Wilson Pdf

Alfonso Lewis goes by the name of “Sunshine.” After serving twelve years in Illinois State Prison on drug related charges, he is released and returns to the south side of Chicago to pick up where he left off. White Chocolate, Sunshine’s partner in the illicit drug trade, kept things operating while Sunshine was away, but now, it’s back to business as usual. While on a trip to the Grand Caymans, Sunshine and White Chocolate meet Leroy and Shirley Smith. The unassuming Smiths just happen to be known transporters who move drugs from Columbia to the United States. Things are looking up—until authorities search the Smiths’ hotel and find an illegal stash of drugs. The Smiths are arrested, and Sunshine and White Chocolate’s lives are forever altered. Chi-Town is a gritty tale of power, corruption, and suspense driven by a compelling sense of realism. Chicago has been a place of unrest and turmoil since its inception. Now, take a fictionalized look into its cruel lawlessness through the eyes of a criminal fighting to make his way.

The Hitler Filmography by Charles P. Mitchell Pdf

From the time his Nazi regime launched World War II to the present, Adolf Hitler has frequently been depicted on film. He was largely ridiculed at first, since laughter was a powerful weapon and morale booster for nations at war. Later representations were more somber and realistic, yet Hitler’s image never escaped the undertone of scorn. This book concentrates exclusively on portrayals of Hitler in feature films and television miniseries. The filmography covers films with a factual historical storyline, fictional stories, alternate histories, parodies and films where actors playing Hitler have a cameo. Each entry provides production credits, an annotated cast list, an analysis and synopsis of the film, an evaluation of the actor playing Hitler in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of his portrayal, and representative quotations from the film.

The Plug Next Door 4 by Sol Pdf

In Part 3 of The Plug Next Door, you found out that God has another daughter named Summer. However, her life isn't what one would imagine for someone who has a rich plug for a father. The little Chicago girl is living in poverty, helping her adoptive mother clean homes in order to make ends meet. Still, at the tender age of 17, she's just like any other teenaged girl. She's never been in any real trouble, makes good grades in school, and has a best friend who rides for her. She's even headed off to college soon. Her world seems to be moving along on track until a blast from the past walks back into the picture. Loso, an effervescent hustler with a charming smile, lavish cars, and endless money, quickly wins the young girl's heart. He's the perfect guy, spoils her to no end, and upgrades her life. Everything about him drives Summer crazy, but she's not the only girl on his team. He's been known to get around, and there is one other woman that he can't seem to shake no matter how hard he tries. If Loso's promiscuous ways aren't enough to tear him and Summer apart, there are many other obstacles standing in the way. Their age difference, betrayal in the streets, and then there's Summer's father, God. What does the future hold for their fairytale relationship when Loso finds out that he's dating his plug’s daughter? ***Please note, if you do not read this installment, you will be confused in part 5. This story will fill particular holes from part 3 (i.e. How Sloan got pregnant, the circumstances behind Summer being given up for adoption, the start of Young and Erin's affair, as well as what God did on the streets when he was in Chicago).

The Tunnels of Cu Chi by Tom Mangold Pdf

At the height of the Vietnam conflict, a complex system of secret underground tunnels sprawled from Cu Chi Province to the edge of Saigon. In these burrows, the Viet Cong cached their weapons, tended their wounded, and prepared to strike. They had only one enemy: U.S. soldiers small and wiry enough to maneuver through the guerrillas’ narrow domain. The brave souls who descended into these hellholes were known as “tunnel rats.” Armed with only pistols and K-bar knives, these men inched their way through the steamy darkness where any number of horrors could be awaiting them–bullets, booby traps, a tossed grenade. Using firsthand accounts from men and women on both sides who fought and killed in these underground battles, authors Tom Mangold and John Penycate provide a gripping inside look at this fearsome combat. The Tunnels of Cu Chi is a war classic of unbearable tension and unforgettable heroes. Praise for The Tunnels of Cu Chi “A claustrophobic but fascinating tale.”—The Wall Street Journal “Chilling . . . what war really was and how it was fought.”—The New York Times “Gripping . . . highly recommended.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer “Remarkable.”—The Washington Post

Finding Platinum - A Magic City Memoir by Sonya Taylor Pdf

Finding Platinum: A Magic City Memoir, is the highly anticipated novel from Sonya Taylor, who spent several years as an adult entertainer at one of the most legendary gentlemen's clubs in the world - the infamous Magic City in Atlanta, GA. Amongst the glitter and glamour of the high-priced lifestyle of exotic dancing, sex, and drugs is the poignant tale of a streetwise, coquettish young woman born and raised on the tough streets of Detroit, who migrated to the heart of the south in the late 80s and early 90s, and grew up under the dazzle of the strobe lights and the salacious eyes of men with power, money, and prestige. This book, the first in a trilogy, is a powerful love story. It revolves around the love of money, fame, and fast living. It shows how they all collided at a deadly intersection in the life of this bright, young woman. At times, her life seemed so glamorous and exciting on the outside, but it was marred by heartbreak, tragedy, and senseless murders. This book explains how life's lessons that sometimes cost so much, often show that their value is worth every dime. For more information or to order the book, please visit: www.FindingPlatinum.com, or email Sonya at: [email protected]. Born on June 2, 1968 in Mount Clemens, Michigan, raised into poverty and welfare in the city of Detroit, Sonya Taylor knew what it was like to be underprivileged, and she knew the endurance of the struggle. Taylor decided at a young age to overcome her situations, and not forget the circumstances that brought her and her family to a place of serenity, or at least a few minutes of temporary relief. As a child, Taylor had little interest in literature, but she discovered the joy of reading and writing at the age of 12. Her preference of poetry and creative-thought writing, is what Taylor has been focusing on these past years leading up to her first book, "Finding Platinum, A Magic City Memoir."
