Power Crazy

From the founders of the international health-care behemoth Johnson & Johnson in the late 1800s to the contemporary Johnsons of today, such as billionaire New York Jets owner Robert Wood "Woody" Johnson IV, all is revealed in this scrupulously researched, unauthorized biography by New York Times bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer. Often compared to the Kennedy clan because of the tragedies and scandals that had befallen both wealthy and powerful families, Crazy Rich, based on scores of exclusive, candid, on-the-record interviews, reveals how the dynasty's vast fortune was both intoxicating and toxic through the generations of a family that gave the world Band-Aids and Baby Oil. At the same time, they've been termed perhaps the most dysfunctional family in the fortune 500. Oppenheimer is the author of biographies of the Kennedys, the Clintons, the Hiltons and Martha Stewart, among other American icons.

She was the young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate, as well as the princess of His Majesty's residence. However, he had been neglected by his father due to his frail and sickly body, as well as his lack of talent in martial arts. His father didn't hurt, his aunt bullied him, and they schemed against each other. In the end, they died miserably in a small courtyard, and their bodies were almost turned into puppets. Her movements were strange, her killing intent decisive. She was the king of assassins in the world, but because of a blood jade she allowed her soul to pass through. On the day that the King of Assassins became the daughter of the Prime Minister, the winds and clouds changed, the stars became chaotic, and the guardian beast became anxious. Even though the Imperial Scholar could not predict what would happen next, he suffered a backlash. The people said that the gods had descended from the heavens, so they couldn't peep. What she wanted was very simple. She wanted a world where one could come and go as they wished, a world where all living beings bowed down to others, and a man who loved others without equal.

Drawing on vivid oral histories, Joseph M. Marshall’s intimate biography introduces a never-before-seen portrait of Crazy Horse and his Lakota community Most of the world remembers Crazy Horse as a peerless warrior who brought the U.S. Army to its knees at the Battle of Little Bighorn. But to his fellow Lakota Indians, he was a dutiful son and humble fighting man who—with valor, spirit, respect, and unparalleled leadership—fought for his people’s land, livelihood, and honor. In this fascinating biography, Joseph M. Marshall, himself a Lakota Indian, creates a vibrant portrait of the man, his times, and his legacy. Thanks to firsthand research and his culture’s rich oral tradition (rarely shared outside the Native American community), Marshall reveals many aspects of Crazy Horse’s life, including details of the powerful vision that convinced him of his duty to help preserve the Lakota homeland—a vision that changed the course of Crazy Horse’s life and spurred him confidently into battle time and time again. The Journey of Crazy Horse is the true story of how one man’s fight for his people’s survival roused his true genius as a strategist, commander, and trusted leader. And it is an unforgettable portrayal of a revered human being and a profound celebration of a culture, a community, and an enduring way of life. "Those wishing to understand Crazy Horse as the Lakota know him won't find a better accout than Marshall's." -San Francisco Chronicle

Crazy Horse was as much feared by tribal foes as he was honored by allies. His war record was unmatched by any of his peers, and his rout of Custer at the Little Bighorn reverberates through history. Yet so much about him is unknown or steeped in legend. Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life corrects older, idealized accounts—and draws on a greater variety of sources than other recent biographies—to expose the real Crazy Horse: not the brash Sioux warrior we have come to expect but a modest, reflective man whose courage was anchored in Lakota piety. Kingsley M. Bray has plumbed interviews of Crazy Horse’s contemporaries and consulted modern Lakotas to fill in vital details of Crazy Horse’s inner and public life. Bray places Crazy Horse within the rich context of the nineteenth-century Lakota world. He reassesses the war chief’s achievements in numerous battles and retraces the tragic sequence of misunderstandings, betrayals, and misjudgments that led to his death. Bray also explores the private tragedies that marred Crazy Horse’s childhood and the network of relationships that shaped his adult life. To this day, Crazy Horse remains a compelling symbol of resistance for modern Lakotas. Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life is a singular achievement, scholarly and authoritative, offering a complete portrait of the man and a fuller understanding of his place in American Indian and United States history.

The police are desperate to maintain control. The judicial system is falling apart and every aspect of society is being affected as madness runs wild. In the midst of all the gibbering, twitching, frothing madness is one very sinister individual. Calling himself simply 'Crazy, ' he claims to be the source of the insanity. This is his story. "...I am the crazy of a whole generation, I am the voices in thousands of heads, I am a wave of laughter and the sound of a mirror shattering around broken, bleeding knuckles. I'm mumbling, I'm gibbering fear, I'm visions, hallucinations, paranoia and even love. I am everything that is crazy in this city. I am crazy. I need this city and maybe when this city falls I too will find my end. I fervently hope so... Oh yes, we mustn't forget fervent hope... I'm that too..."
