Were taught in the hood to never tell. From rape to beatings to killings to drugsyou never tell or youre considered a snitch. This is not a tell-all book but my story, my journey. Ive changed most names in this book to protect peoples identity. I feel everyone should tell their story; it heals!

This book is about the two completely different lives I lived, growing up in the hood and then my life after the hood, the thug and the gentleman. The hood was a dark place where drug addicts and drug dealers controlled the streets. Growing up in the hood as a kid was all about surviving. Many times I wondered where my next meal was going to come from. I began fighting at a young age, at least once a month. Candles and matches was a life line considering how often our lights went out. This was my life and I figured it would be my life to the end. This book is my journey thru the hood and my success outside of it. It's how three books inspired me to leave the hood and change my life! For most of my life, I wouldn't read a book from front to back. My friend begged me to read my first book at the age of 27 and at that point my life changed dramatically. At that time I realized that I had access to all the information I needed to become better in life. But although the hood is a dark place, it equipped me with a hustle and a desire to survive that's unmatchable. The books inspired an educated gentleman, the hood breed an unstoppable thug, both together created a business man that came from nothing to building a million dollar company.

'You have given a faithful portrait of a Thug's life, his ceremonies, and his acts' Often overshadowed by Kipling's Kim or Forster's A Passage to India, Philip Meadows Taylor's forgotten classic, Confessions of a Thug (1839), is nevertheless the most influential novel of early nineteenth-century British India. This was the first dramatic account to expose a European readership to the fantastic world of the murderous Thugs, or highway robbers, who strangled their victims and who have ever since been a stable of Western popular culture. Writing in the voice of a captured Thug, Taylor presents an Orientalist fantasy that is part picaresque adventure and part colonial expos?. Confessions of a Thug offers a unique glimpse of the colonial world in the making, revealing how the British imagined themselves to be omniscient and in complete control of their Indian subjects. This unique critical edition makes available a fascinating and significant work of Empire writing, in addition to excerpts from the original colonial texts that inspired Taylor's narrative.

Confessions of a Thug by Philip Meadows Taylor is about a fictional anti-hero protagonist, Ameer Ali, a Muslim thug. This book is a tale of crime and retribution in India, beginning in the late 18th century and ending in 1832. Taylor sets the story in 1839 and bases it on the Thuggee cult in India. Excerpt: "The tale of crime which forms the subject of the following pages is, alas! almost all true; what there is of fiction has been supplied only to connect the events, and make the adventures of Ameer Ali as interesting as the nature of his horrible profession would permit me. I became acquainted with this person in 1832."
