Well all I can say then is that rumours of his book have been greatly exaggerated.

Orchard Sent: Monday, September 11, 2017 2:00 PM To: churchillchat@googlegroups.com Subject: [ChurchillChat] Approaching Another Milestone   How dreadful are the curses which The River War (St. Augustine Press) lays on its prospective readers!  Besides the fanatical frenzy to purchase this bloody book, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy by the author and publisher.  The ultimate effects of this enterprise are forever forthcoming.  The implication of impotent writing habits, slovenly systems of manuscript editing, sluggish methods of book binding, and randomly selected or expired publication dates are manifest wherever the followers of the St. Augustine Press website access their internet.  A degrading sense of hopelessness and abandonment envelops Churchill fans deprived of this book’s much heralded grace and refinement; along with an ever-diminishing faith in the dignity of scholarly publications and the sanctity of truth in advertising.  On this coming September 20th will Professor Mueller once again emerge from his Alaskan burrow, manuscript in hand, only to be repelled by sight of his own shadow?   Stan -- *************************************** BullfrogControl.com Inc. 69A Burnside Road West Victoria, British Columbia CANADA  V9A 1B6   250-858-3764 (FROG) bullfrogcont...@shaw.ca www.bullfrogcontrol.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
