Story
The epic struggle for control of Los Angeles and the history of the 30s, 40s, and 50s in America's dream city. Now the Fox UK TV series Mob City. Mid-century Los Angeles. A city sold to the world as 'the white spot of America', a land of sunshine and orange groves, wholesome Midwestern values and Hollywood stars, protected by the world's most famous police force, the Dragnet-era LAPD. Behind this public image lies a hidden world of 'pleasure girls' and crooked cops, ruthless newspaper tycoons, corrupt politicians, and East Coast gangsters on the make.

Story
1930s Shanghai could give Chicago a run for its money. In the years before the Japanese invaded, the city was a haven for outlaws from all over the world: a place where pasts could be forgotten, fascism and communism outrun, names invented, fortunes made - and lost. 'Lucky' Jack Riley was the most notorious of those outlaws. An ex-navy boxing champion, he escaped from prison in the States, spotted a craze for gambling and rose to become the Slot King of Shanghai. Ruler of the clubs in that day was 'Dapper' Joe Farren - a Jewish boy who fled Vienna's ghetto with a dream of dance halls.

Story
There is something of both the absolutely spectacular and positively disgraceful about Tehran. But most writers around the world are inclined to think that their own sprawling metropolis is the capital of every imaginable vice and crime, of impossible love and tenderness and cruelty and malice in measures that seldom exist anywhere else. For me, Tehran's case is no different - except that there really is a difference here. The city may be a hothouse of decadence, a den of inequity, all that. But it still exists under the watchful eye of a very unique entity, the Islamic Republic.

Des archives de RCI – Danger, drame, héroïsme, tragédie sont des notions rattachées à l’histoire de l’immigration des Noirs au XIXe siècle qui s’insèrent dans l’expérience de la colonisation. L’histoire de l’immigration des Noirs vers le Canada a commencé il y a environ 400 ans, avec l’arrivée des Français à Port Royal. Le lieutenant-gouverneur du Haut-Canada, John Graves Simcoe, a signé la Loi antiesclavagiste du Haut-Canada en 1793. Bien que beaucoup de Noirs libres et de Noirs fugitifs soient venus au Canada par leur propres moyens, le chemin de fer clandestin, ...

Depuis sa création, la CIA n’a cessé de multiplier les infractions à la loi. Elle déclassifie une partie de ses archives arguant que les dérapages de la guerre froide sont aujourd’hui révolus. Ce livre montre qu’il n’en est rien. Pour la première fois, cet ouvrage dresse un bilan aussi exhaustif que possible des méthodes douteuses de l’Agence, des origines à nos jours.
