The Wichita divide : the murder of Dr. George Tiller and the battle over abortion / by Singular, Stephen.(CARDINAL)748050;
"On May 31, 2009, Scott Roeder walked into a Wichita church, drew a pistol, and shot Dr. George Tiller at point blank range. Tiller, who was the most public practitioner of late-term abortions in America, had been a lightning rod for controversy, regularly referred to in the conservative media as "Tiller, the Baby Killer." Tiller's death was not an isolated act of violence, but a pivotal, public murder in a war that has been raging for decades. It's a war of violently opposing ideologies, encompassing abortion, but also questions of privacy, sexuality, and religion. It's being fought in our nation's courtrooms, at school and churches, on television sets, at our dinner tables, and in our bedrooms. And more and more, the key battlegrounds are in Kansas, once home to Brown vs. Board of Education and some of the bloodiest conflicts of the Civil War. This is a gripping look at a cold-blooded terrorist action, two men representing opposite ideological extremes, and the region where those violent forces clash"--

The Wichita divide : the murder of Dr. George Tiller and the battle over abortion / by Singular, Stephen.(CARDINAL)748050;
On May 31, 2009, Topeka native Scott Roeder walked into Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas, drew a .22-calibur pistol, and killed Dr. George Tiller at point-blank range. Tiller, who specialized in women's health and was America's best known practitioner of late-term abortions, had been a lightning rod for controversy, regularly referred to in conservative media as "Tiller, the Baby Killer." Tiller's death was not an isolated act of bloodshed, but a pivotal event in a deepening civil war that's raged across America for decades. It's a war of violently opposing ideologies, being fought in our nation's courtrooms, at schools and in churches, on TV sets, at dinner tables, and in our bedrooms. It encompasses issues of personal privacy, sexuality, and religion--matters that go to the heart of the government's role in our daily lives. Sometimes, one crime can expose the roots of an entire war--Tiller's murder did just that.

When men become gods : Mormon polygamist Warren Jeffs, his cult of fear, and the women who fought back / by Singular, Stephen.(CARDINAL)748050;
As the self-proclaimed prophet of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, a sect of Mormonism based in southern Utah, Warren Jeffs held sway over thousands of followers for nearly a decade. In addition to coercing young girls into polygamous marriages with older men, Jeffs reputedly took scores of wives himself. The media were shunned, creating a hidden community where polygamy was prized above all else. But in 2007, after a two-year FBI manhunt, Jeffs was convicted as an accomplice to rape. Journalist Singular traces Jeffs's rise to power and the concerted effort that led to his downfall. It was a movement championed by law enforcement, but more vocally by a group of former wives seeking to liberate young women from the arranged marriages they'd once endured. The book offers new revelations into a nearly impenetrable enclave--a place of inbreeding and eerie seclusion, and a tradition almost a century old.--From publisher description.
