Just wondering if anyone here was familiar with Peter Lance's Scarpa research and whether Lance is full of sh*t or not.

While you can never be 100% sure,Lance certainly does a very thorough job of researching,almost to the point of being tediously boring.That in itself rates him ahead of many reporters/authors,but you can never be sure about the writer's agenda.

I recently finished the book and have posted elsewhere on this forum that it was extremely well researched, however he seemed to just go on and on and on to the point it got boring. I wouldn't call Scarpo a "Mastermind" but he was smart and from years and years od scheming he was able to do a lot of manipulations.
