A fun and intriguing read,

This review is from: Closely Guarded Secrets: The Assasination of F.D.R., Japan's Atomic Bomb, the Massacre at Port Chicago (Paperback)
OK, kick back, relax and prepare for a good light read. As with any good conspiracy theory worth the name, it has lots of facts that you knew already. More that sound like they could be true and some conclusions that just could be true based on these facts. This one is well done and starts with some great history on Nazi operations in the US before and during WWII. There is definitely enough there to get you to thinking!
As a bonus, he fleshes out the rumors of a Japanese A-bomb that was tested within months of ours and of some more on the well-known explosion of two cargo ships in Chicago in 1944. All three stories are fascinating and well worth the read!

Review of Closely Guarded Secrets by Bill Hanson
The author does plow some new ground, although with some misspelled names (FDR's valet), and some information is not quite right. I confine my review with his chapter on FDR, with which I am most familiar. He is incorrect on several key points. First, FDR was not first embalmed on the train ride to Washington, but at his Warm Springs cottage. There is testimony available by the funeral home director and assistant. Second, Admiral Ross McIntire's book is all fluff; his memoir is no more accurate than Admiral Cary Grayson's' is of Woodrow Wilson...both cover up the facts in each president's case. Third, although the author has uncovered some new interesting facts in Lucy Mercer's hometown, his trail tracking Albert Kraft, the new chef assisting the already known Daisy Bonner, leads nowhere and needs more research. Fourth, the author's "Dying Old Man" theme, is incorrect...he was dying and new research is available to completely refute this chapter. Finally, it is true that Eleanor was bi-sexual, but the author leaves too much research un-done about Albert Kraft and how he managed to get into the Roosevelt cottage in the first place. For more detailed analysis on my preceding discussion, see Dr. Harry S. Goldsmith's, "A Conspiracy of Silence." A Conspiracy of Silence: The Health and Death of Franklin D. Roosevelt

The German/Hitler theory is a bit much to swallow. Sounds to me like german sour grapes after the war. So maybe FDR was assasinated but I don't think there's enough evidence to point to the who/why. German spy rings in the US during the war, Eleanor's bisexuality...for a short book it gave me alot to ponder. The name Albert Kraft sounds like an alias. There was no mention of FDR being a freemason?
