Was Albert DeSalvo Really the Boston Strangler? Handyman Albert DeSalvo confessed to eleven brutal rape/murders that terrorized Boston from 1962 to 1964. The repeat sex offender boasted he had raped an additional 2,000 women. His story became the subject of a bestselling book, a major Hollywood movie, and a Hulu docuseries. But DeSalvo was not The Boston Strangler. Author Susan Kelly's detailed investigation shows us the true DeSalvo--a pathological liar whose hunger for celebrity drove him to false confessions--and indicates that the stranglings were committed by more than one killer. Exploring stunning DNA findings, a shocking re-autopsy, expert profiling evidence, and other recent developments, she shows why this savage, unsolved case continues to fascinate and haunt us.
One of America's oldest existing structures, Long Wharf encapsulates the most important events in Boston's history. Created in 1711 and spanning almost a half mile in length, it initially served as a defense for the town of Boston and a place for local merchants to sell and ship their cargo. Multitudes of different merchants had stores there over the decades, and these products changed as the city evolved. From rum, spices, flour, molasses and tea to fishing, immigration and tourism, the Wharf has always reflected the city it served. Long Wharf also had a darker side, with theft, drownings and slavery. Author and historian Kelly Kilcrease reveals how the Wharf was built, how it played a prominent role during the American Revolution and how it evolved into the landmark we know today.

Taxation Without Representation: Can the U.S. Avoid Another "Boston Tea Party?"

Just as in 1776, todays Americans are overtaxed and lacking genuine representation. Brian Kelly wrote this book because our representatives, both nationally and locally, have abandoned their duties as agents of the people and forgotten our role as fundamental voices in a constitutional democracy. Twenty consecutive years of non-responsive Presidencies, unprotected borders, and a Congress with more blame to go around than accomplishments yields a catastrophic failure of a report card. Kelly illustrates how public servants are so overwhelmed with self interests, special interests, the interests of corporations and the interests of other countries that they have no time to work for the people. He eviscerates, with cogence and gusto, the veneer of honor cloaking some of our nation's most dishonorable public servants. Something went critically awry between 1776 and now. After depicting the problem, your author unearths a cornucopia of political trickeries aimed at taking our money, including a litany of creative taxes imposed against U.S. citizens. He then embarks on a no-holds-barred safari through some of America's most crippling domestic problems, fueled by representative negligence, corporate power, and greed. He questions the modern role of Unions. From there, your author explains the nations emergent problems of visa abuse, the selling out of American jobs, and the unhealthy impact of illegal foreign nationals on the lives of American citizens. He explores the lack of free and honest elections, recounting recent judicial decisions and the push for fraud-prone voting machines. Despite its grave insights, the book animates at all times a spirit of hope and impetus for change which can help direct all efforts to avoid another Boston Tea Party.I hope you enjoy reading this book and that you will remain vigilant and take the actions necessary to ensure that this experiment in democracy, the United States of America, can continue persevering for centuries upon centuries. I wish you the best -Brian P. Kelly, Publisher
Taxation Without Representation... 4th Edition: Can the U.S. Avoid Another "Boston Tea Party?"

This book relies on the Constitution, the founding documents, Articles of Association, Declaration of Rights and Grievances, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights to present an accurate picture of how badly our Congressional representatives have taxed us to the hilt without any concern for representing even one of us.Taxation without Representation, the book, unearths and explores a massive dilemma for U.S. Citizens. The US began without representation. The English Parliament provided none. Then, the Colonies fought a war of independence to acquire representation. Now, our beloved representatives have fallen for the candy-coated wiles of the new kids on the block--obscenely rich mega-corporations, lobbyists with party-invitations in Washington, and members of the establishment of both parties. If only our representatives were honest, this book would not be necessary. This book offers a walk-though about how our government once was, how it improved, and how it again eroded in this our age, and the country regressed from freedom to a new set of oppressive roots. Former president Obama made racism worse while racism had become a moot issue in a period in which blacks had accepted whites and vice-versa. Why Obama chose to make everybody in America a racist, or an accused racist whether black, or white, is a question only the former president can answer. Nonetheless, that is what he did. Obama appears to be a permanent enigma. The book highlights the major issues affecting the American worker, particularly the wholesale exportation of jobs to legal and illegal foreign nationals. The book also discusses how both political parties are preventing independent candidates from appearing on ballots and the problems presented by voting machines surreptitiously designed with technology that enables an interested party's surrogates to manipulate and even override the people's choices. Our representative democratic republic is definitely in trouble. We have the biggest bumbling set of idiots ever supposedly representing us, while scobbing up every perquisite possible for themselves. While pointing out definitively that we pay too much in taxes, this book also offers a number of unique solutions to help get us back on a track of which the founders would smile. You will too. Enjoy You and Brian W. Kelly know that because our representatives in the House, the Senate, in state legislatures and city councils have forgotten their duties as representatives of the people, we had to call them on it. Additionally, the president, the governors, the mayors, and other prefects of the people in the executive branches of governments across the land have conveniently forgotten that the primary fundamentals of our representative constitutional democracy (republic) starts with representation. They get paid for one thing, representation, and it is the last thing on their mind. "No taxation without representation" was the catch phrase in the period of 1763-1776 to summarize the major grievance of the American colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies, incipient kernels of what would later become the United States of America. When King George III of England and the English Parliament began to impose new taxes on the colonists (Stamp Act, Intolerable Acts, etc.) without their concurrence, Reverend Jonathan Mayhew of Boston coined this term during one of his sermons in Boston. Another Bostonian, a politician by the speak of the day, James Otis, changed this just a bit and he is well known for the phrase, "taxation without representation is tyranny." Tyranny it was and in this book, you will see that tyranny it surely is again. In 1773, American Colonists violently opposed the tax on tea imports at the most celebrated Tea Party of all time. Kelly captures the notion that before Donald J. Trump, the government of the past president was not interested in what was best for America.
