Acerca de esta escucha
A Wiser Guy tells the evolution of an Italian American Mafia family in the United States during the golden years of the Mafia, the ‘20s through the ‘90s, culminating with its decline at the end of the 20th century. The story is told through the lives of Louis, Ernie, and Paul, three men of three different generations of the Palmeri family.
New Jersey, 1955. The life of Louis, a six-year-old is going to take an unexpected turn. His loving grandfather Paul Palmeri, a founding and highly regarded member of the American Mafia, the man he most admired, has died unexpectedly. Things will not be the same for the Palmeris. Their privileges, influences and income in the world of the Italian American Mafia are threatened by Paul’s death.
Louis makes us travel from the ‘20s through the ‘90s in the lives of members of the Cosa Nostra. In Niagara Falls and Buffalo, during prohibition. Louis explains the beginnings of his grandfather Paul's career in the Mafia through the illegal trafficking of alcohol led by “Buffalo" Bill Palmeri. After prohibition back in New Jersey, Paul must raise a family living an exemplary public life and at the same time developing his darker side in the shadows, that Louis will discover, as he grows up, through jumps in the timeline, back to the past and forth to the present.
When fluctuations in the oil market bring about a recession in the ‘80s, Louis will try to provide for his family and live a life without setbacks. He will strive to detach himself from his criminal origins, but first he must overcome the crisis through illegal “supplemental income”. During the full decline of the Mafia, Louis must make a final decision as to which role he should play in his family's history.

In this gripping biography, acclaimed author Harlow Giles Unger paints an intimate portrait of the heroic young French soldier who, at 19, renounced a life of luxury in Paris and Versailles to fight and bleed for liberty - at Brandywine, Valley Forge, and Yorktown. A major general in the Continental army, he quickly earned the love of his troops, his fellow commanders, and his commander in chief, George Washington, who called him his "adopted son".

The most common triggers for homicide are fear, rage, revenge, money, lust, and, more rarely, sheer madness. This isn’t an exact science, of course. Any given murder can have multiple triggers. Sex and revenge seem to be common partners in crime. This book offers my memories of homicide cases that I investigated or oversaw. In each case, I examine the trigger that led to death. I chose this theme for the book because even though the why of a murder case may not be critical in an investigation, it can sometimes lead us to the killer.

The dramatic story of one of America's greatest and most misunderstood military leaders and presidents, this is a major new interpretation of Ulysses S. Grant. Based on seven years of research with primary documents, some of them never tapped before, this is destined to become the Grant biography of our times.

In the 1860s, Napoleon III, intent on curbing the rise of American imperialism, persuaded a young Austrian archduke and a Belgian princess to leave Europe and become the emperor and empress of Mexico. They and their entourage arrived in a Mexico ruled by terror, where revolutionary fervor was barely suppressed by French troops. When the United States, now clear of its own Civil War, aided the rebels in pushing back Maximilian’s imperial soldiers, the French army withdrew, abandoning the young couple. The regime fell apart.

In We Don't Know Ourselves, Fintan O'Toole weaves his own experiences into Irish social, cultural, and economic change, showing how Ireland, in just one lifetime, has gone from a reactionary "backwater" to an almost totally open society - perhaps the most astonishing national transformation in modern history. O'Toole narrates the once unthinkable collapse of the all-powerful Catholic Church, brought down by scandal and by the activism of ordinary Irish. He relates the horrific violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which led most Irish to reject violent nationalism.

One of America's best-known rock and entertainment journalists describes his journey from his childhood, cooped up in the "rice room" of his family's restaurant in Oakland's Chinatown, where he did chores, to the major role he played as a writer and editor at Rolling Stone. It is a story of teen worship of Elvis, but also of Chinese customs and the tragic murder of his brother, and of the '60s scene in San Francisco, where he found freedom - and his career.
