Diary of an internment camp at Banff/Castle Mountain, operating between 1915 and 1917.

Approximately 8,000 Canadian civilians were imprisoned during the First World War because of their ethnic ties to Germany, Austria-Hungary, and other enemy nations. Although not as well-known as the later internments of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War, these incarcerations played a crucial role in shaping debates about Canadian citizenship, diversity, and loyalty. Tracing the evolution and consequences of Canadian government policy towards immigrants of enemy nationality, No Free Man is a nuanced work that acknowledges both the challenges faced by the Government of Canada as well as the experiences of internees and their families. Bohdan Kordan gives particular attention to the ways in which the political and legal status of enemy subjects configured the policy and practice of internment and how this process – magnified by the challenges of the war – affected the broader concerns of public order and national security. Placing the issue of internment within the wider context of community and belonging, Kordan further delves into the ways that wartime turbulence and anxieties shaped public attitudes towards the treatment of enemy aliens. He concludes that Canada’s leadership failed to protect immigrants of enemy origin during a period of intense suspicion, conflict, and crisis. Framed by questions about government rights, responsibilities, and obligations, and based on extensive archival research, No Free Man provides a systematic and thoughtful account of Canadian government policy towards enemy aliens during the First World War.

An extensive encyclopedic reference guide to male and female serial killers from throughout world history. The World Encyclopedia of Serial Killers is the most comprehensive set of its kind in the history of true crime publishing. Written and compiled by Susan Hall, the four-volume set has more than 1600 entries of male and female serial killers from around the world. Defined by the FBI as a person who murders 3 or more people over a period of time with a hiatus of weeks or months between murders, serial killers have walked among us from the dawn of time as these books will demonstrate. While the entries to these volumes will continue to grow—the FBI estimates that there are at least fifty serial killers operating in the United States at any given time—The World Encyclopedia of Serial Killers is as complete as possible through the end of 2017. The series continues with Volume Two, E-L. The entries include El Loco Luis Alfredo Garavito, Happy Face Killer Keith Hunter Jesperson, Interstate Killer Larry Eyler, Godfather of Matamoros Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo, and Golden State Killer Joseph James DeAngelo. You will find these killers and approximately 350 others in this second book in the series of The World Encyclopedia of Serial Killers.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was called in to help determine whether McGowan, who had already been denied parole twice, should be released back into society. The chairman of the New Jersey parole board had formed a special investigations unit to look into the cases, and they asked me to consult on the McGowan case. #2 On April 19, 1973, Joan Angela D’Alessandro was selling cookies with her sister near their home in Hillsdale, New Jersey. She was seven years old. A car pulled into the first driveway on the right, on St. Nicholas Avenue, which intersected with Florence Street. She was empathetic right from the beginning. #3 When Joan did not come back right away, Rosemarie began to get worried. She didn’t want to alarm the children, so she tried to keep herself together. She eventually went out to look for Joan, and when she couldn’t find her, she called the police. #4 The search for Joan continued, and the priest from St. John the Baptist Church arrived at the house with a state trooper and a German shepherd. The dog cased the area around the McGowan house, but nothing was found.
