Gangsters takes a compelling look at the dark underbelly of society where bootlegging, robbery, crime sprees, threats and corruption were part of everyday life. Throughout all levels of society, the activities of gangsters was rife and many of those involved in organized crime also had long-standing connections with those in authority across banking, finance, businesses, government departments, the legal system and police. The fact that these organized criminals became part of the modern cult of celebrity while their crimes became notable is fascinating and incredible.

While many set out to commit the perfect crime and ultimately fail by being caught and convicted, there are a plethora of unsolved cases throughout history. Unsolved Crimes takes a look at numerous unsolved homicides committed throughout the 20th century as well as some carefully planned robberies that still leave the authorities stumped many years later. This book provides a fascinating insight into some of the most riveting cases of the past 100 years including the Black Dahlia, Julia Wallace, Peter Falconio – the British backpacker who disappeared in the Australian outback in July 2001 – and high profile murders such as Jill Dando, Stephen Lawrence, Suzy Lamplugh, Carl Bridgewater and Genette Tate. Serial killers such as Jack the Stripper, the Zodiac Killer and Bible John are investigated as well as the Babes in the Wood killings that horrified the nation and the mysterious deaths of Rudolf Diesel, Natalie Wood and Robert Maxwell are scrutinised. These, and many other cases, still continue to baffle and challenge all those involved and provide a fascinating backdrop to crimes of the 20th century and beyond.

Kidnap is a chilling reminder of the power people can, and do, exert over others, particularly the vulnerable and the young. Meaning to remove a person against their will and hold in false imprisonment, kidnapping for money is still a common occurrence in many parts of the world today. Places such as Mexico and Colombia have been described as the "Kidnapping Capital of the World". That dubious honour today is held by Iraq.  Kidnapping is also prevalent in some parts of the world as a means for obtaining slaves and human trafficking is reported to be the fastest growing criminal industry across the globe. These forms of kidnap see profits of billions of dollars for the perpetrators.  Tourists are also prone to becoming victims of crimes involving kidnap, particularly in cities and other areas where organised crime pays and ransoms are thought to be easy money. However, kidnap victims come from all ethnic and social backgrounds and this book looks at some high profile cases as well as those who were, and still are, powerless to do anything about the situation. At this point in time, the International Labor Organization estimates that around 250 million children between the ages of five and 17 are being exploited having been "removed" from their families.

In September 2013, top of the international agenda was to stop any further deadly chemical attacks on the people of Syria. Bringing the war criminals to justice was not far behind. A UN commission probed 14 illegal chemical attacks including one that killed more than 1,400 men, women and children. Maher Assad, the brother of Syria’s President, was thought to be behind the atrocities. Reports claimed that the ruthless Republican Guard ordered a junior captain to fire chemical shells under threat of being shot in the head. History is littered with brutal war criminals, from Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein to Serbian Slobodan Milosevic who died in his cell of a heart attack, following his arrest and the charges brought against him for war crimes. Libya suffered under Colonel Gaddafi, while Bosnia saw war crimes perpetrated by Ratko Mladic, who is currently still on trial. Germany, however, has had to come to terms with some of the worst atrocities committed-there is now speculation that up to 30 concentration camp guards could finally face justice for the deaths of helpless men, women and children who were murdered in the gas chambers, or shot as they desperately tried to escape. Led by German lawyers, moves are being made to see that surviving Nazis  pay for their horrific crimes before they die. Crimes of the Century – War Crimes, takes a detailed and disturbing look at some of the worst atrocities ever committed by humankind and questions whether war crimes might one day become catastrophic events that are firmly confined to the past.
