Book Description
BREAD and BULLETS is a "tell all" book of how a hard-working commercial baker turned his small, one delivery van operation into a multi-million dollar enterprise that served upscale restaurants, hotels and grocery chains up and down the East Coast of Florida only to have it crumble in a hail of bullets. When Rosario Liotta decided to expand his bakery and open a chain of delicatessens/cafes similar to Panera Bread, he caught the eye of Gurino, a man with underworld connections. Gurino decided he wanted a piece of the loaf. When Liotta refused, Gurino used verbal threats and, eventually, force in the form of a knife and a .38 caliber. Liotta defended himself with his own legally owned gun. Since this was two years before the Stand Your Ground laws went into effect, Liotta was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in prison. With the passage of time, the Broward County prosecutor learned the Gurino had been the hit man hired to murder Gus Boulis, the founder of Miami Subs and the SunCruz Casino Line. The Boulis murder was the longest running investigation in Florida history until it was solved in 2013. Boulis' killing had ties to the Bush Whitehouse through D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramhoff and his business partner, Adam Kidan, the founder of Dial-a-Mattress. From his days as a successful baker and businessman to standing in the spotlight for a crime he did not commit, Rosario Liotta never let his unjust conviction turn his easy disposition into a desire for revenge. This is the story of how one man's humble beginnings as a baker's son led to a road paved with Bread and Bullets.

Book Description
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a wave of political violence swept across the globe, causing widespread alarm. Described by the media of the day as “propaganda of the deed,” assassinations, bombings and assaults carried out by anarchists—both individuals and conspirators—were intended to incite revolution and established the precedents of modern terrorism. Much has been written about these actions and the responses to them yet little attention has been given to the actors themselves. Drawing on wide range of sources, the author profiles numerous insurgents, their deeds and their motives.

Book Description
A People Book of the Week & a Kirkus Best Nonfiction of the Year An exquisite and inspiring memoir about one mother’s unimaginable choice in the face of oppression and abuse in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. In the days before Homeira Qaderi gave birth to her son, Siawash, the road to the hospital in Kabul would often be barricaded because of the frequent suicide explosions. With the city and the military on edge, it was not uncommon for an armed soldier to point his gun at the pregnant woman’s bulging stomach, terrified that she was hiding a bomb. Frightened and in pain, she was once forced to make her way on foot. Propelled by the love she held for her soon-to-be-born child, Homeira walked through blood and wreckage to reach the hospital doors. But the joy of her beautiful son’s birth was soon overshadowed by other dangers that would threaten her life. No ordinary Afghan woman, Homeira refused to cower under the strictures of a misogynistic social order. Defying the law, she risked her freedom to teach children reading and writing and fought for women’s rights in her theocratic and patriarchal society. Devastating in its power, Dancing in the Mosque is a mother’s searing letter to a son she was forced to leave behind. In telling her story—and that of Afghan women—Homeira challenges you to reconsider the meaning of motherhood, sacrifice, and survival. Her story asks you to consider the lengths you would go to protect yourself, your family, and your dignity.

Book Description
Struggles endured by the working class throughout the nineteenth century were frequently struggles to survive the harsh living and working conditions that prevailed at that time. Disputes between 'masters' and employees were frequent. Many employers treated their workers with contempt, and people worked under unreasonable rules and conditions that were rigorously enforced. Strikes and lockouts were commonplace events, which frequently ended in riots, violence and death. In 1893 Ackton Hall Colliery was wrecked during riots. By the light of a lantern, a magistrate read the Riot Act. For a moment the crowd was silent, then came a frightening response. Shouting, hooting and stone throwing recommenced in greater numbers than before. The soldiers moved into position ready to fire. Innocent men mingled with the crowd when the order was given. FIRE.
