The specter of the marauding serial killer has become a relatively common feature on the American landscape. Reactions to these modern-day monsters range from revulsion to morbid fascination--fascination that is either fed by, or a product of, the saturation coverage provided by print and broadcast media, along with a dizzying array of books, documentary films, websites, and "Movies of the Week". The prevalence in Western culture of images of serial killers (and mass murderers) has created in the public mind a consensus view of what a serial killer is. Most people are aware, to some degree, of the classic serial killer 'profile.' But what if there is a much different 'profile'--one that has not received much media attention? In Programmed to Kill, acclaimed and always controversial author David McGowan takes a fresh look at the lives of many of America's most notorious accused murderers, focusing on the largely hidden patterns that suggest that there may be more to the average serial killer story than meets the eye. Think you know everything there is to know about serial killers? Or is it possible that sometimes what everyone 'knows' to be true isn't really true at all?
SERIAL KILLER STORIES VOLUME 5: William Bonin And Alexander Pichushkin - 2 Books in 1 Featuring... *William Bonin *Alexander Pichushkin 2 Great Books in 1! William Bonin America: home of the free, land of the brave. Thousands of screaming fans pack into baseball games, football (not soccer!) stadiums, and rock concerts. Americans like loud music, fast cars, and women with more plastic in them than the cutlery they use at Fourth of July picnics. But America has another claim to fame. Killers. Sure, the rest of the world has turned in some iconic killers, from Jack the Ripper to Osama Bin Laden. But killers and serial killers, in general, are as American as apple pie. The F.B.I. theorizes that there are anywhere between twenty-five and fifty serial killers active in the United States of America at any given time. They each murder an average of three people per year, and are active sometimes for decades. The F.B.I. goes on to clarify that a serial killer is defined as having killed two or more people in separate events and times. These arent crimes of passion, where someone murders someone during an argument, or after catching their lover in bed with someone else. These are planned and calculated with a cold-blooded efficiency that reminds one of black-eyed sharks, slicing silently through the water to ambush their prey. With all of that said, it appears as though the golden age of American serial killers is over. That crime has steadily fallen since the 1970s and 1980s. Sure theyre still around, men and (a few) women who take life after life with their knives and guns, but gone are the days of Bundy, Gacy, and their ilk. Well take a look at one more, one not everyone is familiar with, but a man who carved a bloody path through multiple years as the 70s gave way to the 80s. His name was William Bonin, and they called him The Freeway Killer.

An explosive, headline-making portrait of Allen Dulles, the man who transformed the CIA into the most powerful—and secretive—colossus in Washington, from the founder of Salon.com and author of the New York Times bestseller Brothers. America’s greatest untold story: the United States’ rise to world dominance under the guile of Allen Welsh Dulles, the longest-serving director of the CIA. Drawing on revelatory new materials—including newly discovered U.S. government documents, U.S. and European intelligence sources, the personal correspondence and journals of Allen Dulles’s wife and mistress, and exclusive interviews with the children of prominent CIA officials—Talbot reveals the underside of one of America’s most powerful and influential figures. Dulles’s decade as the director of the CIA—which he used to further his public and private agendas—were dark times in American politics. Calling himself “the secretary of state of unfriendly countries,” Dulles saw himself as above the elected law, manipulating and subverting American presidents in the pursuit of his personal interests and those of the wealthy elite he counted as his friends and clients—colluding with Nazi-controlled cartels, German war criminals, and Mafiosi in the process. Targeting foreign leaders for assassination and overthrowing nationalist governments not in line with his political aims, Dulles employed those same tactics to further his goals at home, Talbot charges, offering shocking new evidence in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. An exposé of American power that is as disturbing as it is timely, The Devil’s Chessboard is a provocative and gripping story of the rise of the national security state—and the battle for America’s soul.
Perkins, a former chief economist at a Boston strategic-consulting firm, confesses he was an "economic hit man" for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business.
