Lords of Corruption

A True Story Based on the Life of Jack Portock - Legendary Atlantic City Police Officer Who Led the Four Horsemen of Atlantic City

By: Edward Thomas Ellson

Long before casinos became legal in Atlantic City, New Jersey, a powerful political machine known as The Organization sanctioned and operated gambling establishments throughout the resort. Mobsters aided by corrupt politicians and cops-on-the-take controlled the citys businesses, both legitimate and shady. In the early 1950s, four honest policemen, led by determined officer Jack Portock, battled the corruption and illegal operations in the name of the laws theyd sworn to uphold. Their efforts earned them nationwide prominence and powerful enemies, including the leader of The Organization, New Jersey State Senator Frank Hap Farley. Farley and his minions would stop at nothing to discredit and defeat the intrepid officers. From the resort nicknamed the Worlds Finest Playground to the Kefauver Crime Commissions televised hearings on organized crime held in Washington, D.C., Lords of Corruption tells the gripping, true story of the legendary Jack Portock and his fellow officers who came to be known as The Four Horsemen of Atlantic City.

The Childhood of Edward Thomas - A Fragment of Autobiography - With a Preface by Julian Thomas

By: Edward Jr. Thomas

This early work by the great welsh poet Edward Thomas is an autobiography of his early years. Philip Edward Thomas was born in Lambeth, London, England in 1878. His parents were Welsh migrants, and Thomas attended several schools, before ending up at St. Pauls. Thomas led a reclusive early life, and began writing as a teenager. He published his first book, The Woodland Life (1897), at the age of just nineteen. A year later, he won a history scholarship to Lincoln College, Oxford. Despite being less well-known than other World War I poets, Thomas is regarded by many critics as one of the finest.
