Featured review
Dear All,
Please read "The Interrogator," by Raymond F. Toliver. Toliver tells the true story of Hanns Joachim Scharff, one of the Luftwaffe's best P.O.W. interrogators. Sheer psychological tricks let him extract loads of information from his "guests." He tortured nobody because he did not need to do so. Years after the war, in the United States, some of these same men threw a party for him, despite the fact that several had felt severe remorse over having inadvertently disclosed so much.
How successfully a viewer of "Resisting Enemy Interrogation" could have withheld information from Scharff, I cannot say.
Sincerely,
Gordon F. Corbett
