Epilogues and Aftermaths: Historically Forgotten Survivors and Consequences Volume One (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Public attention and scrutiny has dimmed following most of these notable, tragic and publicized events, deaths and murders. Each included historical profile spawns a secondary tale concerning the surviving victims, intimate family coping with loss and the consequential aftermath. The edition highlights sixty momentous and obscure calamities and their profound effect on those left behind. In some instances the immediate trauma and impact has become lethal. In other instances, the road towards recovery has generated a profound influence on others. These accompanying survivor biographies are equally compelling and represent an important continuity to a larger perspective of understanding.

Volume One is a compilation of sixty combined well-documented and obscure biographies. They include:
