The Killing Chronicle

Alan Leek

4.9/5 (26046 ratings)

Description:During the early 20th century, times were tough and made even more difficult with the beginning of WWII. Hand-guns, explosives and 'Tommie' guns became easy currency. They were used with malice and astounding recklessness. It was a period when police responses were not driven by psychological or sociological methodologies, but by brawn and bravery. It was a period that forever changed the nature of policing. Though horrific and tragic, the revelation of these crimes will not only set the record straight, but ensure the victims are remembered beyond their names being chiselled into stone. These tragedies include the callous shooting murder of a decorated country constable who was posthumously awarded the George Cross, and the cowardly stabbing death, on Anzac Day, of a country constable who had survived war service in Palestine, Africa, Greece, Ceylon and New Guinea. Other accounts tell of police and others who were mercilessly cut down, their stories melding with goal break-outs, gun fights and carnage. Told through the lens of a man who has personally experienced and witnessed the life-changing impacts of service, The Killing Chronicle pays tribute to the ethos, courage and contribution of police officers. Alan Leek, an awarded police veteran, recounts incredible true crime stories from a period when the excesses of criminals created havoc throughout Australian society.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
