Description

Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.

Reviews

"The story of Chester Campbell Wheeler is a story that needed to be told and Christian Cipollini is the perfect author to tell it. Cipollini spins a taut and compelling tale of one of the nation's most interesting and dangerous underworld figures of all-time." - Scott M. Burnstein, author of Motor City Mafia: A Century of Organized Crime in Detroit "Christian weaves an intoxicating and truly gangster tale about a real life hit man who was in the trenches of the underworld in Detroit during the cities peak years in crime. Take a journey with Chester Wheeler Campbell and see how those involved in the life lived, breathed and existed. An amazing true crime story." - Seth Ferranti, author of Rayful Edmond: Washington DC's Most Notorious Drug Lord "I almost felt like I knew the mobster while I reading. Christian Cipollini captured the true gangster essence of Campbell" -Mafialife Chris, MafiaLife.com Author Christian Cipollini has done it! Not only is his book about hit man Chester Campbell a rare, untold account of a gangland assassin it also is a vivid read which takes the reader into the Detroit underworld of the 1970s with all its colorful characters. - David Amoruso of Gangsters Inc. "Author Christian Cipollini carefully collects all the facts in the The Chester Wheeler Campbell case, a Detroit hitman who is discovered one cold February night in 1975 after a near head-on collision with an on-duty patrolman in Orchard Lake. The patrolman searches Campbell's care and finds it littered with weapons, guns, drugs, cash, and meticulously detailed assassin's notebooks with names from many unsolved murders. Cipollini recounts all the gruesome events in grisly detail, you can almost hear the deep-voiced narrator and chilling background music." <div> <div>- Katherine Montalto, Metro Times</div> </div>
