Another point in Kaczynski's favour is his high level of factual accuracy. On top of this there are copious footnotes and references to source material. I like that.
In stark contrast is the semi-recent biography,
The Beast Demystified, by Roger Hutchinson. He provides no references of any kind. That's probably because it's hard to credit a source when you've simply made it up yourself.
I have no problem with Hutchinson's hostile angle and frequently mocking tone. But he could have at least
tried to do some research. When you begin seeing silly errors again and again you really have to question the authors other assertions.
My personal favourite was finding out that Dion Fortune was fighting along side W.B.Yeats against the evil "mad man" Crowley at the Battle of Blythe Road in 1900. This is despite the fact that Fortune wasn't born until 1890, and would have been a mere 10 years old at the time.
It's ironic that publishers seem to fall over themselves to print stuff like Hutchinson's book. And yet, since the limited print run by New Falcon in 2002, Kaczynski has had problems getting a big publisher to take notice. Perhaps the facts just aren't
popular enough for a general public that thrives on a steady diet of sensationalism and gossip.
