Quote:Anthony, where did Walt do that critique of Baker? I have not seen it.
Jim, Walt's coverage of Baker's book is through long sections of his DYNASTY ebook - the first fat volume of his chronology. Most people I feel haven't read the sections I'm describing as Walt's ebook is so voluminous, and it takes a while to get started, but when he hits Baker's narrative in the timeframe he probably spends a couple of hundred pages or more (A4 size page, as I have it in Word doc form) on Baker's work and really tears it to bits, quoting her work at length, and going through it, assertion by assertion, and ripping it apart. Late in his volume he actually apologises to the reader for sticking at it, as he says by that point it should be clear that her work is junk, but to be thorough he feels he should keep going to the end. If you get Brown's DYNASTY ebook, and want to see what he says about JVB's book, you can probably skip to the late 50's in the timeline (prior to the U2 shootdown) and go from there. It's a very long ebook though.
