Vanessa admitted somewhere else that she had not read the book.
That's what I thought.
I wonder how many of these others who were in on these attacks had not done so either.
I mean, I read the whole book and then went through the CD files. (Its the same approach I used with RH.)
If someone does that, I don't see how one can come away with anything but respect for what John did.
Even if you don't agree with him, it is one of the most original books in the field. In the sense that there are very few references to other books in his footnotes. Most of the time, maybe 90% from my estimate, he went to the primary sources. That is, either an interview or a document.
There are very few books in the field that do that.
