  “Witty, informal, and sprinkled with down-home Florida vernacular . . . [These] tales of shady characters . . . are as informative as they are entertaining.” —Midwest Book Review   We all know about Florida’s sun, surf, and senior citizen population, but what do we know about its seedy underbelly? It is a fact that Florida's loophole-laden tax laws and laissez-faire attitude have attracted all kinds of swindlers, from the garden variety con man to criminals as infamous as Al Capone. It is also a fact that Vic Knight knows virtually all there is to know about every one of them. As a tenth-generation Floridian, Knight has abundant personal knowledge of Florida history, which augments his wealth of research on scams. Taking the immortal words of his Papa Johnson and Papa Knight, he has compiled a set of Grandaddy’s Rules that can help a person see through the “smooth-talking jaspers” who over the years have bamboozled victims out of billions of dollars.   Shady characters like mayor/preacher/convicted felon Oyster King Willie Popham, the fictitious Prince Michael of Austria, and “the mysterious fifty-dollar tipper” carry off a potpourri of scams involving everything from luxury cars to ostrich eggs to phony tax returns. Knight explains how Boca Raton is a city based on the scam, like Treasure Island, whose very name comes from the scam that put it on the map. These cons attract scores of people because they seem fool-proof; but remember Grandaddy’s Rule #3:"Nobody ever pulled a rabbit out of a hat without carefully puttin’ one in there first.”

  World War II rises in its vastness and complexity over the rest of human history. A number of victims difficult to conceive, never surpassed by any other conflict; the masses of men, women and resources mobilized in a conflict that shook even the most remote ends of the planet; the ideological battle between totalitarianism and democracy, between fascism and communism, the passions and hatred that it aroused; the unimaginable horror and fanaticism of the Holocaust; geopolitical games; the repetition of World War I on an even more dire scale. 
  The war was a gigantic melting pot of violence, power, and ideology that will leave an indelible scar on human history. 
  This Diary of the Second World War has been able to cover all facets of the conflict and is a fundamentally empirical work, which narrates events as they occurred, rejecting value judgments, and therein lies its value: it is an insurmountable encyclopedia on war. Both as a reference textbook and as an audiobook, the World War II Diary represents a milestone in this field. 
  This complete 73-hour series is available in audiobook, ebook and, as an audiovisual, on Prime. 
  In this audiobook we offer you the day by day of the month of:August 1940
