This review is from: Charlie Rose - Nicholson Baker / Gorilla murders in Africa's Virunga National Park (July 11, 2008) (DVD)
I do not choose guests for the Charlie Rose show, but I would not have chosen this one. Charlie Rose actually makes the fundamental point in the course of the interview. He says that Baker has no grasp of barbarism, and no real understanding of how Evil had to be resisted. This was an extremely difficult segment to watch. Baker in one sense has good intentions, expresses over and over again that his major concern was with the victims. But his presentation of the World War II realities is distorted. He caricaturizes Churchill and diminishes his greatness. He simply does not understand that Radical Evil of the Nazi kind cannot be pacified. It is no wonder that this book has angered so many.
