Synopsis
"Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone." --Georges Bataille, French philosopher Interest in criminal behavior continues to flourish. The worse the crime and the greater the notoriety of the perpetrator, the more the public yearns to digest every detail. Atlas of True Crime offers a wide-ranging survey of the criminal underworld from the 1850s to the present, providing illustrated histories of dozens of infamous individuals who have left their mark on society -- in the darkest ways possible. Profiled are the apex serial killers: John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz; the cannibals: Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein and Albert Fish; and the spree killers like Richard Speck, Charles Whitman and Charles Manson; plus murderers and cannibals from around the world. Other contents include: Crimebusters and the history of policing The advent of forensic science Bootleggers and bank robbers Top crime bosses of the past century Unsolved murders and Hollywood homicides Romances gone wrong A look into the minds of serial killers Notorious Asian, European and South American killers Kidnappers Big robberies and grand thefts White collar criminals and embezzlers. Filled with striking archival photos in a full-color design with full-color maps, this expansive volume will fascinate true-crime buffs everywhere., The Attlas of True Crime offers a detailed exploration of the criminal underworld through these illustrated histories of dozens of infamous criminals who have left their mark upon society-in the darkest ways possible. Their stories are all collected here in this definitive guide to crime…and punishment. You will shudder over the apex serial killers: Gacy, Bundy, Berkowitz; the cannibals: Dahmer, Gein, Fish; and the spree killers like Speck, Whitman, and Manson. Also here are the spouse killers, parents who take the lives of their children, and children who target other children; heartless kidnappers; gangs that pull off massive heists; and impressively deceptive con men. Criminals who kill without conscience and who break the law for a living. This book traces the rise of crime over the past two centuries-the renegade outlaws of America's Wild West, the bootleggers of prohibition, the tommy-gun toting bank robbers of the Great Depression to the organized crime syndicates of today. Representing law and order, you will encounter the FBI and the other policing agencies of America as well as the top crime-fighting organizations around the globe, In addition, you will learn about the evolving technologies of forensic science and criminal profiling. It's all here, compiled in one book that lets you savor the truly bad behavior of villains, thieves, and scoundrels… from the safety of your armchair.
