"I hope to provide students interested in the Native American past with an understanding of how the varied parts of the story fit into a larger whole. My goal is to tell a story of native peoples, to advance an argument. To that end, I focus upon twelve native communities whose histories encapsulate what I see as the principal themes and developments in Native American history"--

"To kill is one of the greatest crimes against humanity--to kill repeatedly, accompanied usually by sexually motivated acts that are also taboo, is beyond human comprehension. Why do these people do it? What motivates them? Wildly deviant behaviour can sometimes be 'undrestood' when it is displayed by a lone madman, but what about the killers who are judged normal, or those who act in despicable agreement with others? Charlotte Greig addresses such difficult questions in this compelling examination of the crimes of fifty of the world's most notorious serial killers."--From inside flap.

TRUE CRIME. Serial Killers and Psychopaths by Charlotte Greig and John Marlowe.

Thinking big and thinking bad, fifty of the world's most notorious criminal masterminds have lied, cheated, murdered and swindled their way into the pages of this book. Many of these miscreants had the brains and charisma to be successful in legitimate arenas of life, yet they chose to take a different path — a path that perhaps got them richer faster — but which ultimately led to their downfall. The impetus to cross the moral boundary into criminal territory is not just provided by a desire for great wealth, however, as this compelling narrative reveals. Some individuals transcend the merely material as their criminality is driven by a need to exert power; and to experience the thrill the exerting of this power brings in its wake. Criminal Minds provides fascinating insights into the careers and character flaws of the most audacious reprobates that have come to the attention of the world's lawmakers. It will entertain, astound and shock.
