[quote=Richard Gilbride]John Kowalksi & Peter Lemkin-
I have not heard from my author friend for a couple of months. I offered to write him a review and urged him to publish his book as is, warts and all. He declined. He had a major squabble going on with his print-on-demand publisher at the time.
I had pointed out some embarrassing errors he made identifying DPD in photos, which led to big fat errors in some tangent conspiratorial filler stuff in his text. There were other fat mistakes. And I didn't think he needed to incorporate Liftonesque scenarios into his book- they gave it a grandiose conspiratorial touch, but detracted from his own findings.
So I assume he's working on a revised edition. He trusted me 'cause I'll tell it to him straight. And he knows I'll keep his identity private.
Without giving away the store, I will say that his military experience helped him get a correct bead on Harvey & Lee's individual service deployments that John Armstrong got mixed up. He also makes a fairly good case, but no certainty, that there was a substitution in Russia.
Richard:
Thanks for the info.
