clashing of East and West. A solid little book recommended for students of this campaign, the French Army and modern Egypt.

The Newalls went "missing" in Jersey (No, not NEW Jersey, USA, wherefrom Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springstein, - but the British Isle out there in the Channel) after an evening's dining with their sons: Roderick and Mark. There was lots of family money but, per the boys' later wailing a la Menendez, not much love bestowed upon them in their "formative years."
The book starts right out, leaving no room for the reader to wonder who-dunnit. "Another couple of months and it would be five years. Five years since the night he had beaten his parents to death with a Chinese rice-flail, lacerating their skulls and drenching their Jersey bungalow with blood. ..." It jumps back and forth, in fits and starts, in chronology and person, without much in-depth contemplation. One does not come to care for victims or perpetrators, but the author does have us cheering on the Jersey law enforcement.
This is a British "True-Crime" book, published in London. The American reader will need to translate that which, to a Brit, is mundane: "He would get in late from work, hire a couple of videos, buy a Chinese or Indian take-away, that sort of thing. ..." "He was going to help her select some coving for her sitting room." What's that again? George Bernard Shaw said "England and America are two countries divided by a common language." In this event, I have discovered a very helpful resource: "Divided By A Common Language," a witty and fairly comprehensive "British/American Dictionary PLUS" by Christopher Davies.

The book talks a lot about popular culture and the New Age influence upon it. It is definitely not "light reading." There's a lot of deep philosophy there. If you're into that type of thing, I'd recommend it.
Probably the thing about the book I found the MOST fascinating, was it's logical proof for the existence of the Trinity. (You'll have to read the book for yourself!) It's something I'd never thought of, but makes perfect sense, and it's Biblical too!
