The murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history. From April 14 to April 26, 1865, the assassin, John Wilkes Booth, led Union cavalry and detectives on a wild twelve-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia, while the nation, still reeling from the just-ended Civil War, watched in horror and sadness.James L. Swanson's Manhunt is a fascinating tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal. A gripping hour-by-hour account told through the eyes of the hunted and the hunters, this is history as you've never read it before.

Touching on issues of power, authority, and domination, Manhunts takes an in-depth look at the hunting of humans in the West, from ancient Sparta, through the Middle Ages, to the modern practices of chasing undocumented migrants. Incorporating historical events and philosophical reflection, Grégoire Chamayou examines the systematic and organized search for individuals and small groups on the run because they have defied authority, committed crimes, seemed dangerous simply for existing, or been categorized as subhuman or dispensable. Chamayou begins in ancient Greece, where young Spartans hunted and killed Helots (Sparta's serfs) as an initiation rite, and where Aristotle and other philosophers helped to justify raids to capture and enslave foreigners by creating the concept of natural slaves. He discusses the hunt for heretics in the Middle Ages; New World natives in the early modern period; vagrants, Jews, criminals, and runaway slaves in other eras; and illegal immigrants today. Exploring evolving ideas about the human and the subhuman, what we owe to enemies and people on the margins of society, and the supposed legitimacy of domination, Chamayou shows that the hunting of humans should not be treated ahistorically, and that manhunting has varied as widely in its justifications and aims as in its practices. He investigates the psychology of manhunting, noting that many people, from bounty hunters to Balzac, have written about the thrill of hunting when the prey is equally intelligent and cunning. An unconventional history on an unconventional subject, Manhunts is an in-depth consideration of the dynamics of an age-old form of violence.

Traces the heroic efforts of a young Assistant U.S. Attorney to organize a case against, and engineer the capture of, renegade CIA agent Edwin Wilson, whose machinations reached far into the intelligence establishment

The fourth graphic novel from the cult favorite series pits Manhunter against the DC Universe's mightiest female hero. This volume continues the shocking story from INFINITE CRISIS, when Wonder Woman was forced to kill criminal mastermind Maxwell Lord.

And what secret evidence does Batman possess -- and how will Manhunter wrest it from him?

A vision came to me a few years ago, and took me to a place where I saw what comprises Manhunt in the Desert. Simultaneously with the vision, a voice arose in the center of my being and described the essence of the experience in a manner that the vision and the voice appeared to commune in one mode of expression. As the rhythms of the vision unfolded, I found them dividing themselves into sections, but with no real separation between them. When this vision of transformations finally ended, I saw that it was a book of communications, with a relentless direction. As I read this book to myself, my heart trembled and my being shook, and felt driven under its awesome power. As I was driven, the same vision and the voice together said, " Now Recite This To Others." As I recited this to others I found my being gripped by and bound in a new state, and I saw a New Future for Mankind. Then the vision and the voice together said again, "Ask Them To Come To This New Place Of Life, And Tell Them To Reach There, This Travel Will Not Be Easy. But Whosoever Will Follow This Path, Will Find His Journey Well Laid Out For Him, And His Travel Strewn With Flowers Of Hope And New Destiny."
