My New Book "Hidden History"

[Albert Doyle]

The Devil's in the details. Read the whole thing. DiEugenio shreds Waldron.

Dawn, in a later review I did talk about Hartman's national security ties.

Don, why does it take so long to get your book? I sent away for it two weeks ago.

My copy didn't take any longer than usual for it arrive from Amazon. It may be they were very busy because of the holidays.

Jim,

I don't know why it would take that long. I haven't heard that from anyone else. Did you order if from Amazon?

[Jim DiEugenio]

Yes I did.

I've posted a chapter from Hidden History on my blog. It was not included in the published book, but I think it will be of interest to readers. Here's the link:

Thanks for the bonus stuff, Don. I noticed on your blog you wrote that you were surprised that the book hadn't attracted more attention. I think that there is such a glut of conspiracy/hidden history books (and especially way too many JFK books the last few years), that the market is saturated.

And with the way the world is speeding toward self-destruction, I think a lot of us are feeling very overwhelmed by events. Personally, I have to limit how much time I spend on this stuff.

If anyone is interested, I've posted the other bonus chapter (it's a short one, on Alternative Energy) that wasn't included in the published version of Hidden History on my blog. https://donaldjeffries.wordpress.com/

I finished the book, Don. It was an enjoyable read. I wish you'd taken the time to go into more detail concerning each and every incident in the book, although I realize your work was intended more as a survey of recent history than a comprehensive look at each incident. Perhaps a 2nd Edition?

One suggestion I have is instead of using just words like (example) "mysterious" to describe an under-examined aspect of each situation, you might use a footnote to explain what is already common knowledge. Using the above (example) as a "for instance", you could have mentioned (as opposed to, or in addition to, the word "mysterious") that Connally's clothing sat in Rep. Gonzales's closet for months because a) he was handed the clothing at the hospital, and b) he didn't have an opportunity to return them right then, and c) he put them in a closet in his office, and d) he forgot that he'd put them in there, and then he had them sent to Nellie Connally. It's true that his inaction is unexplained but not really much of a mystery.
