The Fox and the Flies the world of Joseph Silver, racketeer and psychopath by Charles van Onselen. FIRST EDITION
Van Onselen took decades to research the life and times of the Jewish criminal Joseph Silver, his involvement in crime in the midst of the massive displacement of people, at the end of of the nineteeth century when European pimps and 'white slavers' established, especially in the Jewish communitya hugely successful global market for commercial sex. For three turbulent decades before the First World War, Joseph Silver was central to this world of betrayal, intrigue, lust and sexual slavery. As things became too hot, he fled to four continents, including South Africa.. Van Onselen casts a brilliant light on the most infamous serial killer of all time - Jack the Ripper, and his theory that it could have been Silver. Historic photos of old buidlings in Cape Town, Kimberley and other European cities.
