Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. First edition. Hardback. History is full of unsavory and criminal characters, male and female, young and old, rich and poor. Their deviousness and viciousness are disgusting and horrifying, and yet strangely fascinating. Newspapers, magazines, books, films, and radio, television, and stage shows have all stimulated the public's seemingly inherent dark curiousity about their sinister brethren. But, out of the hundreds of thousands of despicable "little Somebodies and great Nobodies" - the culprits and criminals of society - very few of them actually deserve a niche of importance in history. But they cannot be forgotten. The author has compiled this biographical dictionary of notorious and memorable persons whom history considers "outside the law." The book contains known and proven assassins, murderers, spies, traitors, terrorists, kidnappers, poisoners, rapists, gangsters, racketeers, prostitutes, procurers, con artists, swindlers, imposters, forgers, counterfeighters, pirates, smugglers, thieves, burglars, robbers, gunfighters, Western outlaws, conspirators, highwaymen, megalomaniacs, war criminals, and others. For inclusion, an individual must have committed or been accused of committing an offence or crime that society at the time was prepared to punish by law. With Appendix and Index. 447pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15389
