The kidnap years : the astonishing true history of the forgotten kidnapping epidemic that shook Depression-era America / David Stout. by Stout, David, 1942- author. Naperville, Illinois : Sourcebooks, [2020] Subjects Kidnapping -- United States -- History -- 20th century.   Crime -- United States -- History -- 20th century. ISBN:  9781492694793 (hardcover) : 1492694797 (hardcover) : Description:  xxix, 430 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "The Great Depression was a time of incomparable financial desperation in America. Thugs with submachine guns and square-jawed G-men have long dominated the vernacular images of fear, lawlessness, and corruption set against the decimating poverty of that decade. But little known-until now-are the many serial dramas that played out in homes and hideouts, courtrooms and cold cases across the country. In a time of panic, legal lethargy, corruption, and incompetence, there was one sure-fire means to make money, one that was seized upon by both criminals and resourceful civilians. Best of all, one likely to go unpunished: kidnapping. Gritty, visceral, and thoughtfully reported, The Kidnap Years chronicles a forgotten time in America's history when the economic hardships of the Great Depression and the low legal risk of kidnapping led to a sweep of abductions that afflicted all corners of the country"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.15409 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15409 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.15409 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList
