Looking for an escape from childhood abuse; Reymundo Sanchez turned away from school and baseball to drugs; alcohol; and then sex; and was left to fend for himself before age 14. The Latin Kings; one of the largest and most notorious street gangs in America; became his refuge and his world; but its violence cost him friends; freedom; self-respect; and nearly his life. This is a raw and powerful odyssey through the ranks of the new mafia; where the only people more dangerous than rival gangs are members of your own gang; who in one breath will say they’ll die for you and in the next will order your assassination.

Excellent Book on the Mohawk Valley CampaignBy Stephen Michael KeyerExcellent Book on the Mohawk Valley Campaign...great information on key engagements and troop types and numbers. Mr. Watt's constant pro-loyalist feelings however seem to pop up throughout the book giving justification to their cause. I liked it anyway!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Burning of the Valleys by Gavin WattBy barbetExcellent book with very thorough research on the Revolutionary War. The author gives a solid review of events leading up to; during and following the raids in the Mohawk and Hudson Valleys of New York. A "must read" book for anyone interested in learning more about the history of New York and everyday life of the courageous settlers who lived there in the 17th and 18th centuries. As a history buff I highly recommend this book if you want to learn more about our country's history.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
