"For a tough-guy book about tough guys, this is a work of almost unerring tenderness. If its subtitle promises "redemption," the book itself delivers something more honest: stories about people broken by powers larger than they are and who nonetheless find the will to fight on." – Ben Ehrenreich, The New York Times Book Review

Author: Jesse Katz
Narrator: Jesse Katz
A searing account of gang violence and its consequences . . . Macedo’s grim story, expertly documented by Katz, cries for a documentary series to follow his fortunes as, after years in prison, he strives for redemption. A masterful work of true crime-and, to be sure, true punishment. Baby-faced teen Giovanni Macedo is desperate to find belonging in one of LA’s most predatory gangs, the Columbia Lil Cycos-so desperate that he agrees to kill an undocumented Mexican street vendor. The vendor, Francisco Clemente, had been refusing to give in to the gang’s shakedown demands. But Giovanni botches the hit, accidentally killing a newborn instead.

The year is 1978. Saturday Night Fever is breaking box office records. All over America kids are racing home to watch Dance Fever, Michael Jackson is poised to become the next major pop star, and in Hollis, Queens, fourteen-year-old Darryl McDaniels-who will one day go by the name D.M.C.-busts his first rhyme: "Apple to the peach, cherry to the plum. Don’t stop rocking till you all get some." Darryl’s friend Joseph Simmons-now known as Reverend Run-thinks Darryl’s rhyme is pretty good, and he becomes inspired. Soon the two join forces with a DJ-Jason "Jam Master Jay" Mizell-and form Run-D.M.C. Managed by Run’s brother, Russell Simmons, the trio, donning leather suits, Adidas sneakers, and gold chains, become the defiant creators of the world’s most celebrated and enduring hip-hop albums-and in the process, drag rap music from urban streets into the corporate boardroom, profoundly changing everything about popular culture and American race relations.

Free Download Steven A. Barnes, "Death and Redemption: The Gulag and the Shaping of Soviet Society"
English | ISBN: 0691151121 | 2011 | 368 pages | AZW3 | 640 KB
Death and Redemption offers a fundamental reinterpretation of the role of the Gulag-the Soviet Union’s vast system of forced-labor camps, internal exile, and prisons-in Soviet society. Soviet authorities undoubtedly had the means to exterminate all the prisoners who passed through the Gulag, but unlike the Nazis they did not conceive of their concentration camps as instruments of genocide. In this provocative book, Steven Barnes argues that the Gulag must be understood primarily as a penal institution where prisoners were given one final chance to reintegrate into Soviet society. Millions whom authorities deemed "reeducated" through brutal forced labor were allowed to leave. Millions more who "failed" never got out alive.
