Overview of Bombed in His Bed: The Confessions of Jewish Gangster Myer Rush It is truly one of the most powerful stories being produced during this time or any time: it is a sweeping epic, taking in the depression, the immigrant experience, the origins of the mobster world--many of the colorful characters of the period herein--describing a man that wanted to use whatever talents he had to never be poor. It has elements of Dickens, Damon Runyon, Dashell Hammett, and is reminiscent a little of Bonnie And Clyde, The Sting, The Godfather, Goodfellas, and even has elements of Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn, as Myer meets the lad from Hattiesberg Mississippi, Rusty Stokes. It covers the War time period, the 50''s when the world was just starting to accelerate after the War Years, then the Go Go 60''s, when Myer came of age and created enormous wealth and suffered the depths of total destruction. Then on to the 70''s where he sat in prison wrongfully accused, until he meets his earnest journalist nephew, and they both discover a great deal about themselves during this talk, which begins with Bruce a bit in awe of his uncle and matures into a probing, searching, exploration into the man that is his uncle--a man he did not fear, but whose name created so much fear. The story becomes incredibly wise as it evolves, such that the reviewer of the book is correct when she says that there are ''themes of crime and redemption in the life of this complicated gangster''. Bombed in His Bed: The Confessions of Jewish Gangster Myer Rush. This amazing life story which had been sought after for years by journalists from around the world, but which gangster Myer Rush exclusively shared with his nephew has intrigued and captivated high profile entertainment industry professionals. The man who died twice, Toronto Jewish gangster Myer Rush miraculously survived a bomb thought to have been planted by the mafia so that he couldn''t testify about a $100 million dollar stock fraud that many considered to be the "crime of the century." Dying twice en-route to the hospital, revived both times by a young paramedic, Rush was pronounced "dead" as a special report on Canadian national TV and radio. These reports were corrected shortly thereafter, saying that he was clinging to life with a 20% chance for survival. He lived to tell his tales to his nephew writer. "Rosen''s book reads like a blast of adrenalin: every episode like an exploding meteorite. If you read one chapter, you''re hooked. You can''t put it down!" This quote is courtesy of J. Tony Serra, a trial lawyer immortalized in the movie True Believer starring James Woods and Robert Downey, Jr. As Rush acquired great wealth and notoriety, the story recounts a life that would take him to all the corners of the globe including Canada, the U.S., Paris, Karachi, Havana, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Israel, Panama, and the cities where he was incarcerated, London, Atlanta, Miami, and Kingston, Ontario. Amazing and intimate recollections include the time Rush, several months before the bombing, was beaten in his home by suspected Mafia thugs wielding baseball bats, trying to silence him from divulging incriminating information. Asked to pick a suspect from a line-up, he enters the room and makes a positive identification by busting the man''s jaw and walking away. He ran guns into Palestine from Toronto after a personal request from a Rabbi who heard he was the toughest and most reliable Jewish boy in town. And, he was a "cat burglar" for over 20 years, tutored to make Master Keys in hotels across North America, thus enabling him to enter virtually any hotel room desired, stealing wallets and jewels while people slept just a step or two away. Myer Rush scaled the heights of wealth and success, but also suffered the depths of loss and despair. His story is even more intimate, because it was given to the gangster''s award winning writer/nephew at the behest of his mother Alma Rush Rosen. This is a sensational story, all the more so because it is true. It is "bigger than life," except that it isn''t, because Myer Rush lived life on this amazing scale. It is a story of endurance, survival, power, greed, romance, betrayal, privation, wealth and poverty, love, heroism and deceit, tragedy and glory. It is incredible how much this man endured, yet kept on going. The following quote from Foreword Magazine says it well: "... It''s certainly likely that readers will walk away impressed by the enormity and magnitude of adventure contained in a single life."

"Every day," writes Rabbi Meir Kahane, "the Arabs of Israel move closer to becoming a majority. Are we [Israel] committed to national suicide? Should we allow demography, geography, and democracy to push Israel closer to the abyss? According to Rabbi Kahane, Israel can only be sustained by a permanent Jewish majority and a small, insignificant, and placid Arab minority. But the Arab population continues to grown quantitatively and qualitatively. They feel no ties for a state that breathes Jewishness. They mockingly accept moneys from the National Insurance Institute for medical services, tuition, and social welfre; yet they pay little or no tax. Even worse, they openly vow to destroy the Jewish state - not with bullets or bombs, but with the democratic vote. Is there a solution? Rabbi Kahane insists, "Yes." In this explosive manifesto Rabbi Kahane sets forth the only plan to save Israel. Israeli Arabs would be given the options of accepting noncitizenship, leaving willingly with compensation, or being forcibly expelled without compensation. Controversial? Yes. Could the Arabs be convinced to leave? "We will not come to the Arabs to request, argue, or convince," says Kahane. "For Jews and Arabs in Israel there is only one answer - separation. Jews in their land, Arabs in theirs. Separation. Only separation." They Must Go was written in 1980 while Rabbi Meir Kahane was jailed in Ramle Prison by the Israeli government under an unprecedented administrative detention order that imprisoned him without a trial, without his being informed of any specific charge, and without opportunity to know or to question any alleged evidence or witness. His crime: his philosophy concerning the danger that exists to the state of Israel by the very presence of its large and growing Arab population. Rabbi Kahane's ideas were suppressed, twisted, defamed, and subjected to emotional and hysterical diatribes by people who were too frightened to consider them intelligently or to debate them intellectually. Is there a time bomb ticking away relentlessly in the Holy Land? Can Arabs and Jews ultimately coexist in a Jewish-Zionist state? Rabbi Kahane's only answer: "They Must Go."

The book offers up accounts of mafia women, and also tales of severe abuse and violence against women.

The groundbreaking novel from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral that originally propelled its author to literary stardom: told in a continuous monologue from patient to psychoanalyst, this masterpiece draws us into the turbulent mind of one lust-ridden young Jewish bachelor named Alexander Portnoy. "Deliciously funny...absurd and exuberant, wild and uproarious...a brilliantly vivid reading experience." —The New York Times Book Review "Touching as well as hilariously lewd.... Roth is vibrantly talented." —New York Review of Books Portnoy's Complaint n. [after Alexander Portnoy (1933- )] A disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature. Spielvogel says: 'Acts of exhibitionism, voyeurism, fetishism, auto-eroticism and oral coitus are plentiful; as a consequence of the patient's "morality," however, neither fantasy nor act issues in genuine sexual gratification, but rather in overriding feelings of shame and the dread of retribution, particularly in the form of castration.' (Spielvogel, O. "The Puzzled Penis," Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse, Vol. XXIV, p. 909.) It is believed by Spielvogel that many of the symptoms can be traced to the bonds obtaining in the mother-child relationship.

“Gripping and bizarre . . . A compelling account of a dangerously angry man and the investigation that helped to revolutionize modern police work.” —Kirkus Reviews Between 1940 and 1957, thirty-three bombs—strategically placed in Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station, Radio City Music Hall, Macy’s, and other crowded areas of New York—paralyzed the city, sending shockwaves of fear through the public. George Metesky, the “Mad Bomber,” unleashed a reign of terror that reverberated through America’s social, legal, and political landscape, ultimately spurring the birth of modern criminal profiling when a psychiatrist was called in to assist in the manhunt. A compelling work of historical true crime, The Mad Bomber of New York is the gripping tale of two individuals engaged in a deadly game of hide-and-seek, with the city of New York caught in the crosshairs. “A full-fledged biography that evokes the chaos and media circus that the terrorist, George P. Metesky, engendered.” —The New York Times “Masterfully told . . . a first-rate true-crime story.” —Scott Christianson, author of Bodies of Evidence

Anne Frank's Diary has been acclaimed throughout the world as an indelible portrait of a gifted girl and as a remarkable document of the Holocaust. For Meyer Levin, the respected writer who helped bring the Diary to an American audience, the Jewish girl's moving story became a thirty-year obsession that altered his life and brought him heartbreaking sorrow. Lawrence Graver's fascinating account of Meyer Levin's ordeal is a story within a story. What began as a warm collaboration between Levin and Anne's father, Otto Frank, turned into a notorious dispute that lasted several decades and included litigation and public scandal. Behind this story is another: one man's struggle with himself—as a Jew and as a writer—in postwar America. Looming over both stories is the shadow of the Holocaust and its persistent, complex presence in our lives. Graver's book is based on hundreds of unpublished documents and on interviews with some of the Levin-Frank controversy's major participants. It illuminates important areas of American culture: publishing, law, religion, politics, and the popular media. The "Red Scare," anti-McCarthyism, and the commercial imperatives of Broadway are all players in this book, along with the assimilationist mood among many Jews and the simplistic pieties of American society in the 1950s. Graver also examines the different and often conflicting ways that people the world over, Jewish and Gentile, wanted Anne Frank and her much-loved book to be represented. That her afterlife has in extraordinary ways taken on the shape and implications of myth makes Graver's story—and Meyer Levin's—even more compelling. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1995.

This volume represents the first attempt to systematically compare organised crime concepts, as well as historical and contemporary patterns and control policies in thirteen European countries. These include seven ‘old’ EU Member States, two ‘new’ members, a candidate country, and three non-EU countries. Based on a standardised research protocol, thirty-three experts from different legal and social disciplines provide insight through detailed country reports. On this basis, the editors compare organised crime patterns and policies in Europe and assess EU initiatives against organised crime.
