It is apparent by the misrepresentation of fact, the selective interviewing, and the ignorance of standard law enforcement procedure that Mr. Cohen's account of the Lyndsie Scott case is a skewed and inaccurate portrayal of the truth.

I thought Ms Jackson the civil rights activist pursuit of the truth was honorable; however, the author was way off base. I was at the Quantico Criminal Investigation Division at the time of this incident, and I am BLACK. My name was even mentioned in the book. As a matter of fact Lindsey Scott worked for me. This was not a racist plot to courts-martial and convict him. I don't know if he committed this crime or not; however, the NIS and Military Police did what they should have done. There may have been some errors in the investigation, but it was not racist. There were many other black assigned to the Military Police during that time other than Lindsey. This book's display of the accounts that happened during this investigation are so far from the truth, it is pathetic. Raymond W. Collier Criminal Investigator, USMC

I found the story enthralling and it has given me a new insight in to the so-called Military Justice System. By the end of the book, I felt I really "knew" these people. While the main focus was the injustice done to Marine Lindsey Scott, civil rights activist Lori Jackson,also featured in the book, was truly an inspirational woman. I look forward to the movie! Author Ellis Cohen is to be commended for such a well written account of this amazing story

I have had nothing but very good experiences in ordering any product from Amazon. My most recent order is the book "Dangerous Evidence"(True Crime) was receieved in a very timely manner and in very great shape. There was no writings, markings, or highlightings in or on the book.
