Banquet: The Untold Story of Adelaide's Family Murders

By: Debi Marshall

In this definitive expose, Walkley-award winning journalist Debi Marshall turns her investigative blowtorch to the shocking Adelaide Family murders and to secrets long hidden in the City of Corpses. This chilling account begins with the liberalisation of South Australia under the premiership of Don Dunstan and demands answers to decades-old questions. Who were the Family killers? Why are suppression orders still protecting suspects four decades later? Why do some of these serial killings remain unsolved? Only one suspect, Bevan Spencer Von Einem, has been charged and convicted. With her combination of investigative skills and sensitivity, Marshall treads a harrowing path to find the truth, including confronting Von Einem in prison, pursuing sexual predators in Australia and overseas, taking a deep-dive into the murky world of paedophiles, challenging police and judiciary, and talking to victims and their families. The outcome is shocking and tragic. Following broadcast of the Foxtel television and podcast series Debi Marshall Investigates Frozen Lies, numerous people came forward to courageously share new information with Marshall. Their stories are here. Banquet takes aim at the public service, wealthy professionals and the judiciary and for the first time reveals hitherto unpublished details of the Family. And it demands a Royal Commission to break the silence that keeps the truth hidden.

George Marshall

A Biography

By: Debi Unger,Irwin Unger,Stanley Hirshson

“A full-scale biography of this great soldier-statesman that is both comprehensively researched and highly readable” (Publishers Weekly). Here is the first biography to offer a complete picture of the life of George C. Marshall, chief of staff of the U.S. Army from 1939 to 1945 and the military leader who actually ran World War II for America as he oversaw all personnel and logistics. Following Marshall from his childhood in western Pennsylvania and his training at the Virginia Military Institute to his role during and after World War II and his death in 1959 at the age of seventy-eight, this biography casts light on the inspiration he took from historical role models, such as George Washington and Robert E. Lee, and his relationships with military brass, the Washington political establishment, and world leaders, from Harry Truman to Chiang Kai-shek. It also explores Marshall’s triumphs and defeats during World War II, and his contributions through two critical years of the emerging Cold War—including the transformative Marshall Plan, which saved Western Europe from Soviet domination, and his failed attempt to unite China’s Nationalists and Communists. Based on exhaustive research and filled with rich detail, George Marshall is sure to be hailed as the definitive work on one of the most influential figures in American history. “Elegant and iconoclastic . . . refreshing . . . persuasive.” —New York Times Book Review “A grand but judicious biography of a fascinating man.” —Evan Thomas, author of Ike’s Bluff

The Family Court Murders

Now a Major ABC-TV Series

By: Debi Marshall

4 murders. 5 bombings. And until 2015, no one charged. The definitive story of the Family Court Murders and the book that set off the investigation into and charging of Leonard Warwick, who in September 2020, was sentenced to life in prison. An initiative of the Whitlam Government, the so-called ‘helping court’ opened its doors in January 1976. But despite the high idealism of the court’s creators, they failed to factor in one universal truth: that in a marital tug of war, one side would always feel more embittered than the other. Despite the brazen enormity of the shootings and bombings in Sydney from 1980 – attacks that hit at the very heart of the judicial system – and a prime suspect publicly named by the Coroner, the police investigation failed to culminate in an arrest and after three decades stalled to a benign ‘review’ status. Following a tip-off from a possible witness, the Channel 7 Sunday Night program determined to investigate this cold case. Award-winning true-crime writer and investigative journalist Debi Marshall was part of the team who worked this story. Decades on, the horror of these crimes still haunts everyone involved. Witnesses were frightened to speak. Family members lived in the dark shadows of grief and fear. Widows and children lived without closure. To break this uneasy silence, Marshall embarked on a terrifying journey into the dark heart of the Family Court murders – and the prime suspect. What she uncovered will shock and outrage. In July 2020 Leonard Warwick was convicted and in September 2020 given a life sentence, never to be released.

Palm Beach

By: Richard A. Marconi,Debi Murray

Palm Beach is known internationally as a winter resort where the wealthy enjoy life in a tropical paradise. More than 100 years ago, Palm Beach was far different from its well-kept beaches, estates, and fabulous Worth Avenue shopping mecca of the 21st century. When the first permanent settlers arrived, they found the area covered by thick jungle that had to be tamed before they could carve out a new life for themselves. The settlers ended up with a paradise, and when Henry Flagler decided to build a grand hotel in Palm Beach, he planted the first seed for the creation of a modern winter retreat for the rich.

Palm Beach County During World War II

By: Susan Gillis,Richard A. Marconi,Debi Murray

During World War II, Palm Beach County was a beehive of activity. Beachgoers witnessed the destruction left in the wake of U-boat attacks and then helped rescue survivors and retrieve the dead. One of the first Civil Air Patrol units to hunt German U-boats operated from Palm Beach County. Morrison Field in West Palm Beach served as the take-off point for Army Air Corps planes destined for battle lines throughout the world. Boca Raton Army Air Field was the headquarters for training airmen in top-secret RADAR technology. The US Army, Navy, and Coast Guard used resort hotels for training sites and hospitals.

The Times Were a Changin'

The Sixties Reader

By: Debi Unger,Irwin Unger

This is a must-have anthology of the milestone speeches, manifestos, court decisions, and groundbreaking journalism of the Sixties. No other period in American history has been more liberating, more confusing, more unforgettable, and had a more direct impact on the way we navigated the profound changes that swept over the country in the following three decades. From Betty Friedan to Barry Goldwater, from the formidable presence of the Kennedy brothers to the unimaginable influence of Woodstock, Pulitzer prize-winning author Irwin Unger and journalist Debi Unger present the complexities of a volatile and tumultuous decade, while explaining how and why each significant event took place and how it shifted the country's consciousness. From the antiwar movement to the moon race, from the burgeoning counterculture to the Warren and Berger courts, and from the civil rights movement to the 1968 presidential campaign, The Times Were a Changin' will tantalize and confound readers, while inspiring and enraging them as well. The Ungers provide us with a better understanding of the strategy and maneuvering of the 1960s war games--from the Bay of Pigs to the Tet Offensive. And the pieces they have chosen help us define the current of social intolerance that plagues our country to this day. Balancing the controversial issues of the times with an even hand, the Ungers give equal time to William F. Buckley and Abbie Hoffman, Barry Goldwater and Hubert Humphrey, the Black Panthers and Martin Luther King, Jr., compiling an anthology that supplies rhyme and reason to a decade that never ceases to amaze us, endless in its capacity to be explored and understood.

Her Father's Daughter

The Bonnie Henderson Story

Her Father's Daughter

The Bonnie Henderson Story

By: Debi Marshall

Since the publication of her autobiography, Sara Henderson has become a household name. There's barely a person in the country who doesn't know the now legendary story of how she saved her outback property from a million-dollar debt, hasn't heard about the philandering husband and the estrangement from her middle daughter Bonnie. But how much of what she writes is true and how much of it is fantasy? Tired of being misrepresented in her mother's books, Bonnie decided to set the record straight and asked journalist Debi Marshall to write her real story. And the result? Well, not since Jaon Crawford's daughter wrote Mommy Dearest has such an icon been so well and truly smashed. But Bonnie's story, Her Father's Daughter, is much more than that. It's a celebration of a remarkable bushwoman, of her fierce strength and wild, irrepressible spirit, her deep respect for the land she once called home and her abiding love for her reprobate father. Bonnie's mother hates Bullo River Station from the moment she lands on that million acres of red dust. And before long she comes to hate the manwho has brought her there too. Bonnie grows up in a household isolated from the rest of the world, in a place where every excess is indulged: 'Charles purposely cut the off from the outside world, and Sara was very often away. It was like living in Kenya in the 1930s; nothing was ruled out, there were no limits.' Charles and Sara fight constantly and use the children as weapons against eachother. Bonnie is her father's favourite - his inheriting daughter - and Murray-Lee is her mother's. To this day the two sisters bear the scars of their parent's gamess - they still don't speak to eachother. The one place Bonnie can escape the tenxion in the homestead is the bush and she comes to love and know the land as intimately as Old Mray, her Aboriginal companion. Bonnie has her father's indomitable spirit (doubtless what makes her mother so uncomfortable) and his willingness to tackle anything. She grows into adulthood as a superb horsewoman, pilot and cattlewoman. Wild and unruly, afraid of nothing, Bonnie is very different to her reserved mother, and the two grow further and further apart. In her late teens Bonnie takes over the running of the station and gradually emerges from the years of financial instability. When a neighbouring property Charles owns with Gus Trippe, his childhood friend, is sols, the property becomes debt-free. 'Sara talks about being left with a million-dollar debt, but the truth is that there was no debt ... Sara sold Charles' yacht after he died ... and a gold mine in Western Australia ... She puts the sudden cash flow down to having a miraculous stock market win, but I've lived in the bush too long to believe that.' Bonnie is by now utterly in love with flying and goes to Darwin to practice her aerobatics whenever she can fit it in to her hectic schedule at Bullo. It is in Darwin that she meets Arthur Palmer, a charismatic, intelligent and arrogant man - a replica of her father - and the two fall in love. Both Sara and Charles detest Arthur and this makes home life, already extremely tense, unbearable. 'The plain truth was that Daddy loathed him,' says Dannielle, Bonnie's younger sister. 'If he could, he would have put a hit on him. There's no question of that.' On a trip to Queensland Arthur persuades Bonnie to see a specialist about her jaw which, incredibly, has been causing her intense pain for fifteen years. The specialist insists Bonnie be operated on immediately and she is forced to call Sara to tell her she won't be back at Bullo for the muster. Bonnie thinks her mother will be able to cope. In fact it is the beginning of the end of their relationship. Sara screams down the phone at her daughter that she must return, then tells Charles that she is refusing to come home for the muster, without mentioning anything about the operation. As a result, Charles give Bonnie an ultimatum - Bullo or A

The Secret

The Secret

By: Debi Towns

Life is good. For most of us in America, life is very good. Many of us spend our years following our career dreams, enjoying those we love, trying to give back to our communities, and even being involved in our church. It is all great stuff. The good life becomes the goal. It gives a confident but false feeling of security by letting us think God must be okay with us because things are smooth. We rarely, if ever, seek to know our Creator in a personal way. Often justifying that our decisions are His will, we glide along through the good life. But He wants more. When there is an awakening of the soul, it is God calling us. Sometimes life takes us to a place we don't know--but a place where God can get our attention. And if we are fortunate enough to listen and choose to follow His call, He will respond and come in and dwell with us. We finally belong. We belong to the one who transcends this life. Our desire to be with Him begins to absorb us. For some, this can be a traumatic or dramatic experience. But many may not have such an eventful conversion. The good, decent life that many live in today's America may actually make it more difficult to realize that the plan of salvation is meant for each individually. God does not want to just coexist somewhere out there; He is the reason for our existence. He loves us and wants a relationship with each of us.

The Movement

A History of the American New Left 1959-1972

By: Irwin Unger,Debi Unger

This book provides a brief, objective survey of the New Left, defined basically as a movement of white middle-class youth mainly during the 1960s and 1970s. Exploring the intellectual and social forces that helped generate it, the authors argue that the New Left represented the advent of a new sensitivity about organized society in general that was associated with a post-war, post-depression generation unhampered—or, alternately, unsobered—by the experiences of their parents and elders. As a movement of youth it was bold and playful as well as erratic and unstable, and simply could not stick as times worsened and discouragements mounted.

Trust Again

Overcoming Betrayal and Regaining Health, Confidence, and Happiness

By: Debi Silber

Recovering from betrayal can be hard, but it can be done with grace, love, and dignity, using the tips and tools in this warm and engaging book on learning to trust again. You couldn’t brace yourself because you never saw it coming. Your sense of safety and security is shattered in an instant, and the shock is imprinted on your body and mind. Your heart breaks, you feel like you got sucker punched, and the pain is so raw, consuming, and overwhelming you can barely breathe. Someone close to you, possibly a family member, partner, or friend, just pulled the rug out from underneath you—lies you so easily believed and actions you dismissed because it never crossed your mind that the one you trusted the most could ever hurt you. You thought this person had your back. You thought the two of you were honoring the same rules, sharing the same moral code, and respecting the same beliefs. This was a person you loved, trusted, and believed. This is what it feels like to be blindsided by betrayal. During times of betrayal, when we most need support, sometimes the ones we would turn to first are the betrayers. Other times, we’re saddled with shame and fear. But it’s during these times when we need to turn for help and learn to trust again. This work offers support, comfort, and community to those struggling with feelings associated with betrayal and guides them to healing from a painful experience with betrayal. Readers will learn about, and move through the proven five stages from betrayal to breakthrough, and will be lovingly guided with tools and strategies along the way. They’ll also learn how predictable healing can be as they read not only Debi’s journey through betrayal, but the stories of others who have learned to copy, heal, and move on from betrayal to a place of trust and well-being. Readers will identify with at least a few of the many people in the book who share their unique experiences. In addition, they’ll learn about the three groups who didn’t heal and be inspired to take a different course of action so that they can have a more positive outcome.
