Fatal Vision from Signet Book Price: $7.99 Customer Review:  Many years ago, I read "Fatal Vision" with an open mind on the subject. The key elements in this book are keenly subjective, wavering in favor and disfavor of the author's client: Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald. Much has been made of the current effort to free MacDonald on DNA technicalities, with a cadre of... |

The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro from Broadway Books Price: $11.17 Customer Review:  Too bad that such a remarkable story is told by an author who makes himself the star of the show. McGinniss - who became a soccer fan when the World Cup came to the USA in 1994 - imposes himself into virtually every part of the story. That is a shame because McGinniss comes across as a real oaf, and... |

Going to Extremes from Plume Books Price: $11.20 Customer Review:  This magnificiently written "fly-on-the-wall" narrative about The Last Frontier is pretty dead-on and holds up after 20 odd years later. I have travelled many portions of the state on leisure expeditions and felt his emotions throughout each page. The most valuable asset of this book is its ability... |

The Selling of the President from Penguin Books Price: $10.50 Customer Review: McGinniss has a knack for boiling down what could've been a lengthy and detailed account of how to pitch classic curmudgeon Richard M. Nixon to the wary American public. His book is short, sweet, and very well-written. He tells the tale of the Electon, 1968. Nixon had already lost to JFK in 1960,... |

LAST BROTHER from Audioworks Price: $25.00 Customer Review: This is by no means a complete biography of Edward Kennedy. Though the book was written in 1993, it cuts off just after Chappaquiddick. Rather, it is a biography of the Kennedy family with stress on Joe, Robert John and especially Ed. I really liked the way the author spells out the internal and... |

Blind Faith from Signet Book Price: $6.99 Customer Review:  "Blind Faith" is a good true crime book and an interesting read. Nothing outstanding or spectacular, though. But there is something rather strange at the biginning of this book that people seem not to notice. Author Joe McGinniss put an "Explanatory Note" at the beginning of the book. It basically... |

SELLING OF PRES 68 from Simon & Schuster Customer Review: Joe McGinniss joined the Nixon campaign as an observer, and wrote this book of connected stories. Nixon's team had a number of advertising and TV professionals. The book lacks and index and a table of contents. The cover shows Nixon's face on a pack of cigarettes - an apt metaphor. They are heavily... |

CRUEL DOUBT from Pocket Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I don't usually comment on others' reviews, but I found a recent one not to be fair, in this case. McGinniss gave his usual, awesome description of this horrible murder, including detailed interviews with the investigators and especially Bonnie Von Stein and Chris Pritchard. A criticism was that it... |

Heroes from Simon & Schuster Price: $8.95 Customer Review: 'Heroes' was Joe McGinniss's return to the publishing fray after 'The Selling Of The President 1968' made him bestselling sensation in his twenties. It was panned at the time, viewed as self-indulgent and narcissistic. Well, it sure ain't 'Selling 2', and it's easy to understand why many readers... |
