"Anyone can commit a murder, but it takes an artist to commit a suicide." - Old KGB saying The high-profile death of government weapons inspector Dr David Kelly twenty-one years ago, amid the tumult of Britain's controversial invasion of Iraq, plunged the New Labour government into crisis and led to the resignation of the BBC's director general. An informal inquiry chaired by Lord Hutton into the circumstances surrounding Kelly's death cleared the government of wrongdoing but was widely dismissed as a whitewash. The Strange Death of David Kelly argues that neither the medical evidence nor David Kelly's state of mind and personality supported the verdict of suicide. Analysing the official process instigated after Kelly's death, putting the entire episode into its political context and scrutinising the actions of the government in launching the Iraq War, this new edition of the instant bestseller is fully updated to include the latest evidence and theories surrounding this most mysterious and political of deaths.

Many books have been published claiming to identify that most elusive of killers, Jack the Ripper. In this book, we learn more about the victims and in particular, Mary Jane Kelly. The significance of the date of her murder is examined in detail. This book also covers the involvement of Prince Albert Victor, and furnishes evidence that the Whitechapel murders were sanctioned by men or power such as the Commissioner of the Met Police, to protect the British Establishment. The Whitechapel Murders and Mary Jane Kelly is a must-read for Ripperologists. Peter Caldwell lives in Uphall in West Lothian, Scotland. He has researched the Whitechapel murders and studied carefully both the culprit and the victims of the brutal killings for over 20 years.
First published in 1929, this highly regarded work, long out of print is now back in an illustrated 10th edition.It is Mr Kenneally's claim that no unpartisan history of the Kelly episode has hitherto been published. In his opinion the Kellys were badly treated and their bushranging crimes were the result of unjust persecution on the part of the police. Reading his book, it must be admitted that he makes a strong case. Most of his evidence is drawn from official sources - police evidence - showing the conduct of the constables and their immediate superiors in a very poor light. His facts are ably presented, and the book is well illustrated with portraits of some of the chief actors and scenes from the surrounding country. - The Melbourne Herald, 1929I have read your book with a great deal of satisfaction, and I must congratulate you on having rendered a great service in the cause of Truth and Justice... You are the only author who has the courage to do justice to the Kelly Gang; you have liberated the truth, so long supressed, regarding the policy and administration of the police; through your book the people of Australia are now in full possession of the truth... - Jim Kelly, Eleven Mile Creek, Glenrowan, 1930
The True Story of the Kelly Gang of Bushrangers, published in 1900, was a highly researched biography of the notorious 19th-century Victorian family of bushrangers. Chomley wrote the biography using court documents, police records and court evidence. It is recognised as being one of the most accurate depictions of the story of Ned Kelly, particularly regarding the police involvement. In his discussion of The True Story of the Kelly Gang of Bushrangers, Paul Eggert writes: "He often expresses scepticism about the extant accounts of events and of motives, but his attitude is always one of confident understanding and conservative judgement". As the nephew of Arthur Wolfe Chomley, the Assistant prosecutor at Ned Kelly's trial in 1880, and the nephew of Hussey Malone Chomley, a police officer during the Kelly years, Chomley had a unique insight into the case. - WikipediaThis Imprint Classics edition includes rare photographs of the participants from the period.
The Girl Who Helped Ned Kelly does not make a hero of the bushranger, nor does it condemm him. But the author draws with a vivid pen the characters of Old Man Jackson who lost his life while assisting Ned Kelly; of Kate Kelly, the outlaw's sister; of Jenny O'Donnell, the heroine; and of Ned and his associates. Particularly fine characters are Jack O'Briant and Nita, both of whom were Kelly supporters and their love story provides a strong romantic vein that runs through the story side by side with that of Ned and his sweetheart. Comparatively few books have been published so truly Australian in character as this one. As an historical novel dealing with one of the most dramatic chapters in Australia's history, it will take its place with Robbery Under Arms and For the Term of His Natural Life. - Canberra Times, 1929The Girl Who Helped Ned Kelly, then, signifies the moment when writers started to twist the story to suit their own ends, in the process creating new interpretations that would ensure the legend was kept alive for generations to come. Whatever your opinion on the practice, that fact alone gives this book a place in the canon. - Gabriel Bergmoser, from his Introduction.

*Includes pictures of important people, places, and scenes. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. "You know, I just love Grace Kelly. Not because she was a princess, not because she was an actress, not because she was my friend, but because she was just about the nicest lady I ever met. Grace brought into my life as she brought into yours, a soft, warm light every time I saw her, and every time I saw her was a holiday of its own." - James Stewart A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Considering that her film career lasted just six years, it would seem as though the reputation of Grace Kelly far outweighs her actual output. Indeed, from the time of her arrival in Hollywood in 1951 through her final film, High Society, in 1956, Kelly acted in just 11 films, leaving viewers to wonder whether Kelly was still in the beginning of her career or whether High Society was a proper culmination to an extraordinarily brief stay in the film industry? Ultimately, it is might be most accurate to state that Kelly was still in the prime of her career, but it's unclear what direction her career would have taken, as well as who inherited the void she left. Despite the short resume, Kelly is one of America's most famous actresses, and she left an indelible impact on Hollywood. Kelly brought a well-heeled, almost regal quality that deviated from the film noir roles and musical showgirls who had populated the screen during the 1930s and 1940s, and it is this new identity Kelly brought to the motion picture industry that remains her overriding trademark. Of course, Kelly is just as well known today for her life outside of Hollywood, but in a sense, her life as Princess of Monaco continued many of the themes she had established while in Hollywood. Princess Grace exuded a regal and stately quality that also managed to keep her considerable sex appeal hidden beneath a layer of female elegance. As an actress and as a Princess, she was an international fashion icon, and her handbag and white glove are still associated with her. More than anything else, her career as an actress gave her the ability to live in the public eye, and in both of her "careers," Kelly was skilled at navigating the media and acting before the camera, whether it was the cinematic camera or the flash bulbs of the paparazzi. Kelly provided women worldwide with a model of female elegance that has perhaps not been equaled in the decades following her premature death in 1982. American Legends: The Life of Grace Kelly profiles the life and career of the American princess. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Grace Kelly like you never have before, in no time at all.
Mary Kelly was the final victim of the infamous Victorian-era serial killer, Jack The Ripper. The circumstances of her death overshadow her life, and in The Last Dance of Mary Kelly, E. David Brown imagines for her a life and occupation beyond the "prostitute" label typically attributed to her. Having fled poverty in Ireland, Mary Kelly finds employment in a textile factory where she becomes embroiled in the workers' movement, and the investigations of American journalist, Bryson Ward. Victorian London doesn't "shine" in this novel of intrigue and historical injustices; rather, it seeps into the skin like a coal-infused fog, and keeps you hooked. Because you might think you know the history, but until you turn the final page you won't know the whole story.
