Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly examines the world of American swindlers, crooks, and confidence men throughout history. The author, an expert in the field, does a wonderful job of placing the subject within its historical context from the earliest days of America to the present day. Beginning with the conclusion that a great portion of the American public likes to be humbugged, swindled, and even robbed, the author delves into the modus operandi of these criminals who live by their wits. The author's research shows that the most successful criminals are not generally ignorant individuals, but rather possess high levels of culture and education. Much of the book is dedicated to exploring the various kinds of swindles, frauds, and cons that these criminals utilize to commit their crimes. Some of these include forged banknotes, counterfeit money, and confidence schemes that play on various kinds of human nature. The author concludes by noting that the more society becomes concentrated in large cities, the more these crimes will proliferate, and that the best remedy is the education of children to strengthen their resistance to temptation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331897897_0
