American Animals is a non-fiction book written by David McCheyne Newell. The book tells the story of four young men from Kentucky who attempt to steal valuable books from the Transylvania University library in 2004. The heist was one of the most audacious and bizarre in American history, and the book delves into the motivations and psychology of the thieves. The narrative is based on interviews with the actual thieves, as well as their families, friends, and law enforcement officials. The book explores themes of privilege, entitlement, and the American dream, and raises questions about the nature of criminal behavior and the pursuit of fame and fortune. American Animals is a gripping and thought-provoking read that offers a unique perspective on a notorious crime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
