Jonathan Green

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the South Bronx had one of the highest per capita murder rates in America. As the use of crack cocaine surged, replacing heroin as the high of choice, dealers and gangs staked claims to territory and consumers through intimidation and murder, and families found themselves fractured by crime and incarceration. Chronicling the rise and fall of Sex Money Murder, one of the most violent gangs of its era, in this engrossing work of gritty urban reportage, Jonathan Green offers a visceral and devastating portrait of a New York City borough going down in flames, and of the detectives and prosecutors struggling to stem the tide of violence. Drawing on first-person interviews, police reports and court transcripts, Sex Money Murder, gives an extraordinary perspective on modern-day America.

Robert Smalls, born a slave in 1839 in Beaufort, South Carolina, gained fame as an African American hero of the American Civil War. The Freedom Ship of Robert Smalls tells the inspirational story of Small’s life as a slave, his boyhood dream of freedom, and his bold and daring plan as a young man to commandeer a Confederate gunboat from Charleston Harbor and escape with fifteen fellow slaves and family members. Smalls joined the Union Navy, rose to the rank of captain, and became the first African American to command a U. S. service ship. After the war Smalls returned to Beaufort, bought the home of his former master, and began a long career in state and national politics. Originally published in 1971, this new edition of The Freedom Ship of Robert Smalls features Louise Meriwether’s original narrative, now illustrated by the colorful paintings of renowned Southern artist Jonathan Green.

Pilot. Athlete. Soldier. Leader. Years after I was born, years after the war, my father told my mother that if he had been born just twenty years later, he could have done more with his life. He didn't ask to be born into a world where blacks were often hated, brutalized, and seen as disposable. He didn't ask to be born into a world on the brink of the most brutal war in human history. He didn't ask to be raised with a house packed with a variety of family members, just barely clinging to life above poverty. Thinking about it makes me laugh, because my father ended his life as a member of the Retired Officers Association, Phi Delta Kappa and Omega Psi Phi. He served on the board of the United Way, the City Hospital, the local YMCA, NAACP, and the Urban League. He was an outstanding prospect as a high school gridder and became a college and high school licensed football, basketball and softball official in Ohio and Indiana. And by the time he was finished with his extensive military career, he had the first and second common infantryman's badges, an Army Commendation Medal, a Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart. When he started his career, achieving these could have been considered impossible. But through grit, determination, faith - and more than a little clever thinking - he fought his way through BOTH World War 2 and the Korean War, where he fought with a unit so bold and aggressive they were called the "Tropic Lightning "There were two Americas back then, and this is the story of a man who found victory in both. He fought against the tide of history, and even when the opportunities weren't there, he made his own. When you read Fate of My Father, you'll look through a window into some of history's biggest stories, and discover the little edges, the amazing corners that the history books can never tell you. Most importantly, you'll see it through the eyes of my hero, a man who isn't just remembered for being great, but for being good - a warm mentor, a kind husband and a loving father. I don't want people just to remember Ross Paige Barrett the hero. I want them to remember the man, because the code that he lived by - of honoring the people before you, of showing respect to people even when they couldn't help you in return, a curiosity to learn and teach and grow - is an inspiration to everyone looking to carve out a place in this world, no matter their nationality or skin color. Here's what this book isn't - it's not longwinded or pretentious. You can read it in an afternoon. This isn't a life that needs embellishment or dramatic language. It isn't bitter, cynical, or destructive. War is hell, and I talk about what he experienced in honest terms, but I don't speak to tear down institutions or people. It sure as hell isn't boring. Read this book, let your hair stand on end, learn a little bit more about a generation you might not have spoken to your parents about. Most of all, leave your time with me with an unstoppable determination to do what's right, and do what's great - just like my father did.
