Most of us realize that history has much fact and fiction woven together and since we ourselves were not there, one relies on multiple sources and interprettions. Buy the Hinson book and enjoy it while understanding how the book was researched and built into a story VERY ABLY by the author. And don't get too hooked on patriotic claptrap - Hinson was an avenger, plain and simple and it would make a darned good movie. Hinson and others like him formed part of a homefront reaction against invaders, occupiers and oppressors - gee, is that so hard to understand - we are doing that right now in Iraq and Afghanistan in many of those peoples' eyes!
