Dear All,
Now the truth can be told....and this should come as no surprise to anyone who had any respect for Walter Lord...
I just viewed "The Making Of......" Documentary on ANTR and the previous claim by someone above that Walter Lord DID NOT like ANTR was an inaccuracy.....a fabrication......ok, it was complete BS!. Walter was astounded that it recieved the world wide attention it did. Another fact I did not know, Walter had copies of ANTR from every country, including Pakistan on his bookshelf. Walter Managed to contact 60 or so survivors of the film while WIlliam MacQuitty, Producer of the film, contacted several others and by the time the film made it to world wide distribution, they almost had all the survivcors check in.
So don't let ANYONE besmirch Walter Lord, he was a great man and will always be remembered for this great book.
Regards,
Bill
