2 comments about Discovering the Rommel Murder: The Life and Death of the Desert Fox.

1. Charles Marshall has done an excellent job in preparing a literary work that is, in my studied opinion, a complete overview of Rommel...as a man and military genius. Marshall's detailed account of Rommel's life is reinforced by information received during interviews with Rommel's widow as well as the letters Rommel sent her during the African campaigns. Further, Marshall, as a former Army Intelligence Officer during WWII, relies heavily on his own detailed diary enteries of interviews with German/Nazi officals in captivity prior to the end of the war. Marshall's work details Rommel's life from pre WWI through his untimely death, forced by Adolf Hitler, before the end of WWII. If there is only one true account of Rommel's life, "Discovering the Rommel Murder" is it.

2 comments about Escape from Castro.

1. The book is purportedly fiction, however, judging from the insight and history of the author you realize as you read that this account must be based on facts.

   It is an extremely engaging novel that captures what life must have been like in the first years of Castro's dictatorship.

   It is important that those of us outside the exiled Cuban community learn of the atrocities that have been and still are committed by Castro and his lackeys just miles from our shores.

   The characters are well defined and the book's organization is flawless. The day it came I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting.

   Escape from Castro is a novel that will stay with me long after Castro is gone!




2. Mario Lamar is not only a gifted story-teller, he shines a spotlight upon the Cuban peoples suffering under Castro for the world to see. Escape from Castro is a gripping, fast paced novel told by an Officer and gentleman who lived through it all. A poignant work of passion, this book is a must read.

1. This book is an expert treatise on the Roy Moody case. Any person who is interested in Explosive Investigations would find this book a compelling read. Several photogrgaphs, including device xrays are included. It would be a good used reference book for a library on the subject.

1 comments about The Awful End of Prince William the Silent: The First Assassination of a Head of State with a Hand-Gun.

1. A small, but eloquently written study, dealing with the assassination of the William, Prince of Orange. Many of you may expect to read about the birth and evolution of the wheel-lock pistol, others - extremely detailed information about the day of the "red herrings", as Albert Finney (in his role as Hercule Puarot) calls the day of murder. Don't want to spoil it for you, but on the evolution of the "dag" the information is not very detailed. There are a few paragraphs speaking about the pistoleers and the change of tactics, but its mostly about the diplomatic background and the diplomatic gains and losses of the "potentati" of the period. A large part of the book deals with the impact of the Prince's violent death on the English society and diplomacy, and also gives an overview of the English intervention in the Netherlands.
   
   The account of the killing itself is not very extended, yet it doesn't seem to lack anything important to the common reader. A small part is dedicated to the assassin himself, but personally I would like to read a more detailed analysis of the man's character, psychology, ideology, of his connections, political, religious... (maybe what lacks here is an overview of the depositions, of the witnesses, of the inquisitorial proceedings).
   
   On technical issues... The language was clear and easy to read. The scholar will find it perhaps a little complicated where structure is concerned. To me it appeared that there was no clear division between the chapters, with the exception of the one that deals with the killing itself. This of course is a strictly personal opinion.
   
   The general impression is that this book is more about the diplomatic "game" around the killing and especially its aftermath and its results on the English policies in the Netherlands. Not a lot of information on the Spanish though, nor indeed on the French. The pistol (the wheel-lock "dag" specifically) is treated more as a revolutionary new tool of the potential assassin than a new weapon which played a part in the transformation of the way of war and tactics. The structure is a bit without a system, but its not very damaging to the contents of the book.
   
   In all a rather pleasant read; educative; not boring; in most cases very informative; but lacks information which even if it is less crucial, would be very useful. In two words: not bad. In another three: could be better.
