I wrote this book!
I am a former teacher and school librarian who wrote this book for Franklin Watts several years ago.The book had to fit into a series, so my hands were tied about the content, length, and grade level of the book.Also, a photo researcher chose the photos.Some of the photos are good, and some aren't.And one year after the publisher accepted my manuscript, my editor asked me to consolidate the last four chapters about individual pirates into one short chapter.There is a huge amount of material on pirates that I was unable to include in this book.Since publishing pirates, I have published three young adult fiction novels under K.J. McWilliams.THE DIARY OF A SLAVE GIRL, RUBY JO culminates in the historical event of Blackbeard holding Charles Town, SC hostage in May 1718.I have just completed another young adult novel, THE JOURNAL OF JACK BLACK, a FUGITIVE SLAVE that is about slave children who signed aboard Gentleman Stede Bonnet's pirate ship.Many slaves did join pirate ships and were usually treated well since pirates were democratic.I do not yet have a publishing date for JACK BLACK. I have had all my books reviewed favorably many times.PIRATES is out of print but can be found in libraries and online used bookstores.My young adult books can be found in online bookstores as well as libraries and independent bookstores.The titles of my other two books are: THE JOURNAL OF LEROY JEREMIAH JONES, A FUGITIVE SLAVE and THE JOURNAL OF DARIEN DEXTER DUFF, AN EMANCIPATED SLAVE that won 1st place for YA fiction--2003 Royal Palm Award. The young adult novels also have photos and nonfiction information for teachers. ... Read more

gangsters
The book, "Gangsters" by Adam Woog, really intrigued me. The book talks about six gangster such as: Al Capone, John Gotti, and Ben "Bugsey" Seigal. These gangsters were mob bosses of the United States between 1890 and the present. Woog talks about when they were born, why they became a gangster, and how they died. What I liked about the book was that it keeps the reader interested throughout the novel. "Gangsters" is a book about American history because gangsters had a lot to do with crime in the early twenty-first century. Most of the book spends its time in New York and Chicago. When you get done reading the book, you walk away with a brief overview of gangs and how they work. With having said this, I would recommend this book to anyone who has a knack for learning more about gangs, drugs, women, and violence.

Sanitized
This non-fiction title will be useful to middle school and high school students seeking a quick homework reference for direct plagiarsm.It briefly reviews the lives of six famous American gangsters, and includes a general, sanitized history of gangs in America.For example, the mafia's cooperation with the FBI during World War II is described, but no detail is given regarding what price the American government paid in trade for that assistance and cooperation.Vocabulary is relatively sophisticated for young adult readers, and there is no glossary in the back of the book.The author does cite sources, many of which come from another title, called BLOODLETTERS AND BAD MEN, a much more graphic book with a lot more information that would actually appeal more to the same readers. However, GANGSTERS will pass the public school review boards and BLOODLETTERS probably would not.Woog's book does include an index and bibliography. ... Read more
