The Heist That Shook A Nation: One In 70 Million

By Armand D Moore

Few crime memoirs are written with the brand of raw honesty Armand "The Chairman" Moore reveals in The Heist that Shook a Nation: 1 in 70 Million. It has been more than thirty years since Moore, son of a southern preacher, gave in to his lust for earthly riches by plotting one of the boldest thefts in banking history. His book begins with emotion-filled memories of his first day as a free man, having served a taxing thirty-year sentence for what was nearly a successful seventy-million-dollar crime. Moore is plagued by flashbacks of murder, racist corrections officers and other horrors he encountered behind federal prison gates. Pages later, he delves into a childhood spent in Memphis where he recognizes have-nots in whose category he vows never to remain. Along the fascinating path Moore travels are once-in-a-lifetime encounters with a young Michael Jackson and the prince of Wales. In stark contrast to such golden moments, Moore describes how he positioned himself to operate on the fringes of Detroit's drug game as a supporting, but key, player. The Heist that Shook a Nation concludes with newly revealed details of the crime that made international news, as told by the man described as a criminal "mastermind," manipulator and evil genius. Moore's truth is unapologetic, yet moving, as he makes the case that power is often gained at a costly price.
