Re: Revisionist history

Well, guys, I have just received an ordered copy of PREMPTIVE STRIKE and will certainly read it with an open mind. I don't really understand how one can criticise a book or an author's attempt to put forward another theory, if one doesn't make the effort to read it in the first instant.

It seems to me that there are too many armchair critics/so-called experts who should get up off their butts (to use an Americanism), do some original research (which, I might add, does not come cheap and is invariably not profitable even when published - I can assure you of that fact after having 20+ books published), and not wait around to criticise the next author who 'dares' put his head above the ramparts. Sorry if I have hurt anyone's feelings but, to me, in my humble opinion, armchair critics remind me of WWI generals in many ways!! I stand to be shot down in flames!!

Have a nice day

Brian
