Once Ron Arons was over the shock of learning that his great-grandfather had done a 'stretch' in the famed sing sing prison, he embarked on a journey to learn more about his ancestor and how he landed in jail.

The Jews of Sing Sing is the first book to fully expose the scope of Jewish criminality over the past 160 years, and it features famous gangsters like Lepke Buchalter.

Opowieść o triumfie i tragedii europejskich monarchii u progu Wielkiej Wojny. Lata poprzedzające wybuch I wojny światowej były ostatnim okresem rozkwitu instytucji monarchii. Chociaż władcy nie sprawowali już rządów z racji boskiego nadania, ich ranga i pozycja pozostawały niemal nienaruszone. Władcy europejscy, nieraz blisko ze sobą spokrewnieni, tworzyli królewski klan, stojący na straży europejskiego, a właściwie światowego status quo. Porządkiem tym zachwiała dopiero wojna, w którą po przeciwnych stronach zaangażowało się dwunastu władców, od cesarza Wilhelma po bułgarskiego cara Ferdynanda. Theo Aronson, wybitny pisarz i historyk, był nadwornym biografem brytyjskiej rodziny królewskiej, co dało mu dostęp nie tylko do oficjalnych dokumentów o ogromnym znaczeniu. Treść Zwaśnionych monarchów oparta jest w pewnej mierze na rozmowach, jakie autor przeprowadził z samą Elżbietą, królową matką.
