Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
For the last 100 years, criminologists and investigative journalists have scoured every conceivable document hoping to discover a missing piece of this murderous puzzle. Begg's well-detailed and footnoted account provides some new information and a few new photographs, but also leaves out established material. He provides only brief coverage of the Ripper letters that, although probably not written by the killer, are still interesting to read and a part of the case. Begg rounds up the usual suspects but does not claim to know the killer's exact identity. He does, however, state that the evidence strongly suggests a particular man. An extra plus is Begg's capsulization of Martin Fido's recent theory that Jack was a Polish tailor named David Cohen. Now that murder stories are best sellers, try circulating this with McGinniss and Wambaugh. Well done.

Interesting,
This review is from: Jack the Ripper: The Uncensored Facts (Paperback)
A good overview, but Rumbelow's book is better researched and more comprehensive.

Some Potential,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jack the Ripper: The Uncensored Facts (Paperback)
Jack The Ripper has never seaced to fasinate me, the grossness of the whole thing has caught me up in a whirlwind of imagination. I have already devoted 16 precious years of my life following his ghost and reliving the amazing fantasy
