Anthony Thorne Wrote:WITHNAIL AND I writer/director Bruce Robinson has spent the better part of two decades researching a long book on Jack the Ripper. The book was published last week and has attracted a great deal of press attention, some of it linked below. As with other authors on the topic, Robinson believes he has unmasked the true identity of the killer, and he argues his case in a densely written volume of nearly a thousand pages that outlines a detailed government and masonic conspiracy. Robinson appears to be a sincere, dedicated and well-intentioned researcher - a friend of mine who closely follows JFK assassination research mentioned Robinson's book to me this week, is reading it now and says that he finds it compelling. Amazon links and various reviews and interviews with Robinson are below. I'll probably read this after I finish Talbot's Dulles biography, and will post thoughts about it in this thread once I've done so.
The reviews at the Amazon UK link are more helpful than the ones on the US site.

I'll be interested in reading your thoughts once you have read the book, Anthony.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
