"A Certain Arrogance" -- George Michael Evica's Last Book to be Updated, Published Soon

[Vasilios Vazakas]

I am currently reading this great book. Of special interest are the false identity/false defectors/Illegals operations and their connections to L.H.Oswald.
Of even greater importance is the section on C.D.Jackson, Life inc. Henry Luce, James Herbert Martin and their connection to the JFK case. I wonder what would be their role in the Sponsor/Facilitator model.

Vasilios,

Within the Sponsor/Facilitator/Mechanic model, they may be considered for Facilitator roles.

Would you -or someone- on facebook please share this thread on facebook so I can reshare as I have hundreds of JFK assassination readers/researcher friends on facebook who would be interested in getting this book. I can no longer link things from this site to facebook and it it most frustrating.
Merci, my deep political friends.

I have asked someone I know who is not a DPF member but who spends a lot of time on Facebook to post this thread there.

There are links on my "wall" and home page (Facebook).

You'll note that I inadvertantly added it four times on the former. Or is it the latter?

Although I have a copy of the first edition, someone at Trineday sent me a copy of their latest edition, which is set in a more clear type and easier to read, but is missing some of the details of the footnotes.

I'm going through it again and finding stuff I breezed over before that are more important than I originally recognized.

It's kind of sad though, as with reading Phil Melanson's books, that these men are no longer with us but keeping in the fight with their books.

Good point on the footnotes, Bill.

After multiple conversations among the Trine Day team (publisher and editor) and representatives of the Evica estate (me and, by extension, Alycia Evica), the decision was reached to edit ACA into a version more accessible to a "general" readership.

This wasn't an easy call. At first I was strongly opposed on the grounds that the work must be represented as its author intended. Yet the arguments in favor of appealing to a larger audience resonated -- especially when viewed in light of the disparity between the value to history, truth, and justice of George Michael's research and the number of people who to date have been able to benefit from his labors.

Another factor was the poor production values of the Xlibris editions: missing and out-of-order pages, horrendous typesetting (the savagery that was done to a great deal of George Michael's literary structures and to my own humble Introduction cannot be overstated), failing bindings.

Yet the footnotes in the Xlibris originals are priceless.

And so the following compromise was reached: The vast majority of footnotes that were not simple text references would remain; a note referring readers to Xlibris editions for complete footnotes would be added.

All of this was my call. Such authority was vested in me by Alycia Evica. I bear full responsibility for all related failures of judgment.

To the most diligent among us, I STRONGLY recommend that you utilize both the Xlibris AND the Trine Day editions.

Thanks again, Bill. We eagerly anticipate your review.

Not a review, I did quote extensively from GME's Arogance to introduce the story of the Man on the Motorcycle in Mexico City.
