That would be a great idea Michael. If I could get the audio in a dss file I would be able to transcribe it as I have a dss player and a foot pedal I could us could use it to start and stop the audio and transcribe it as I was a transcriptionist for over 20 years, lol.

Interesting in the bibliography at the end of Captains and the Kings she lists the book Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley. By the time CATK was published the book Tragedy and Hope was pretty difficult to obtain as it was published in 1966 and was out of print in 1968. Quigley said in an interview that Colliers who bought McMillan publishing said they would reprint it if they got 2000 orders but told everybody who ordered it that it was out of print and they finally told Quigley that the plates to the book were "inadvertently destroyed" and he believed that it was suppressed. There is a rare 1974 interview of him discussing this on youtube. He starts discussing it at the 6:39 mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyeL8LqN118

She must have admired JRK in some way since she dedicated her novel A Pillar of Iron to him. She wrote in the Foreward of the book: "This book was dedicated to John F. Kennedy before his assassination -- so similar in many ways to Cicero's -- and we had some correspondence on the matter, and the letters will eventually be given to the Kennedy Library. It is now dedicated to his memory in sorrow and in sadness."

I didn't know about the Taylor Caldwell's general facebook page. The Taylor Caldwell Appreciation Society page was the first one I saw on facebook and I think it may be older than her author page. The Taylor Caldwell Appreciation society page started out as a page set up by one of her fans and grew from there and I am so glad to see so many others who have such an appreciation for her work.

I have the miniseries on DVD and enjoyed it, however it leaves out much of the main points of the book. The book is very informative and leaves a lot for the reader to think about when it comes to who really call the shots in our political power structure. I also appreciated the bibliography in the back of the book Taylor Caldwell supplied for further reading. She was one of the first writers that I know of who wrote about the role of the international financiers and corporations and globalists in American politics in her novels.

I am so glad to see her books back in print and I have almost all of her books in hardback though it has taken a while to get as some have been out of print for years. One thing I appreciate about her writing is the way she is descriptive in painting the scenery with her chosen words, describing the walls in the room, the feel of the air in the room, the lingering fragrance in scene and every little detail which in turn transports you right there where you are living the experience in her novels. Artistry runs strong in your family bloodline as her father, your great grandfather, was an illustrator as well as your sister being an artist.
