Reader Reviews:
An authentic view on historical people - BRAVO ! (3/3 people found this helpful)
I was very impressed by James Newton's personal involvement in the lives of these significant people. Apart from the importance of each of the 5 friends, which has lead me to pursue more learning about them, Newton has something to share with us - giving of self. All throughout his life he gave his friends total and unconditional friendship. In return, they did the same, probably because they missed this level of honesty in so many of their relationships...
A very good read and a very enjoyable trip through recent history !
Unbelievable, but true, and very well-written. Enjoyed by al (4/5 people found this helpful)
The book is an excellent read, and on first seen, almost unbelievable, but has been proven true by many sources and the author is still alive. I unconditionally recommend it to all who are interested in accurate and entertaining history. The hour-long PBS Special will be released late this year or next, but the Preview hosted by Walter Cronkite attests to the book's accuracy and interest-level. The book will be much in demand after the PBS Special is viewed. James G. Parke, M.D.
