THe Rewrite of Destiny Betrayed - Jim DiEugenio - 13-04-2012
http://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/book/?GCOI=60239102909160
Skyhorse is bringing out the revised and expanded version of Destiny Betrayed this fall.
When I say revised and expanded, I mean its almost a total rewrite. I would say that when all is said and done, it maintains about 10 % of the original. In reality, its a different book.
One of the things I am most proud of is the work I have done on the White Russian community in Dallas, and Ruth and Michael Paine. I can say confidently, that no author has ever gone as far as I have between the covers of one book on this topic.
Anyway, you can order it at the above, or more cheaply on Amazon. I can promise you will like it.

I would urge anyone interested in buying Jim's revised book to buy it directly from Skyhorse.
Here's why:

And don't forget Amazon's horrible stand on free speech: " WikiLeaks the organization behind one of the largest diplomatic data dumps in history was ejected from Amazon cloud-based servers, apparently under pressure from US politicians. According to CNN, Amazon was contacted this week by several US senators, including Joe Lieberman, who urged the company to immediately terminate its relationship with WikiLeaks."

Always best to support small businesses and publishers over conglomerates and TNC's. It is always dollars well spent. Amazon just cares about Amazon not writers, or customers, or community.

Really looking forward to this. The glimpse of the Garrison investigation attacked by the FBI and CIA in The Assassinations was clarifying as an electric shock. To augment that with a view to the Paines and DeMohrenschildt's circle will be epic.
The ten-part Bugliosi chloroform and mounting-board operation is hopefully in the stars as well.
And my third wish is for a visceral Tippit tome to rip the face off the beast.
Your view is the Hubble to the Sixth Floor Confusatory's jackboot grinding Burgess Meredith's eyeglasses in Twilight Zone's Time Enough at Last.
Continue the dangerous course.

Here's another reason not to order through Amazon:
Excerpt:
Quote:Workers said they were forced to endure brutal heat inside the sprawling warehouse and were pushed to work at a pace many could not sustain. Employees were frequently reprimanded regarding their productivity and threatened with termination, workers said. The consequences of not meeting work expectations were regularly on display, as employees lost their jobs and got escorted out of the warehouse. Such sights encouraged some workers to conceal pain and push through injury lest they get fired as well, workers said.
During summer heat waves, Amazon arranged to have paramedics parked in ambulances outside, ready to treat any workers who dehydrated or suffered other forms of heat stress. Those who couldn't quickly cool off and return to work were sent home or taken out in stretchers and wheelchairs and transported to area hospitals. And new applicants were ready to begin work at any time.

Very much looking forward to reading Destiny Betrayed.

Thanks John. Good to know there are other ways to acquire e books too.
I read the original many years ago so an update will be a treat.

You can get great deals on used books on Amazon. I've gotten books in very good condition for a dollar or two that are sold directly by the independent book shop listed on Amazon without any Amazon cut.
