The Statman/Ford Book




The Col is off reading this book, which he read in manuscript form several times two years ago. The Col definitely wondered if the book would ever see the light of day.

I will be sharing my thoughts and ideas about it over the next few days. Suffice to say, it is a riveting account of a story you thought you knew, seen through different eyes.

If you are debating, buy the book for the photos alone. Most of them I have never seen. Many of them will break your goddamn heart.

I ordered the book but its not come yet - does the book come with the recordings too?

That's the audio book.

The book comes with great stories and pictures.

If you have an iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone there is an enhanced version for iBooks that has the recordings

I am about 40 pages from the end. It's an amazing read. Bought it yesterday afternoon.

P.S.....Who was Patti's husband?

What a great book. Finished it yesterday. There are several places in this book where I would challenge even the most hardened and cynical human being to be able to read without shedding a tear.

Also, there are some parts of this book that just plain piss me off. Watson and the prison chapel, for starters.
