Esteemed GDG Member Contributes:


I have the book, and have read it. Very interesting and well reseached. The
one thing that struck me was how much publicity this book got, and how
little Roland Maust's book got. Similiar subjects, and I think Maust's book
was at least as well researched, if not better!

Just my opinion.
