The 2 books of Gail S. ALTMAN

[Claudie MICAULT]

I have got two books from America, written by Gail S. ALTMAN (ANUBIAN PRESS) :
- FATAL LINKS (Thema : B. was poisoned as the two Napoleons...)
- BEETHOVEN : a man of his word (subtittled : undisclosed evidence for his immortal beloved).
Does somebody of you read those books ? What is your opinion.... ?
Sorry if for you it is a little bit far of music, it interess B. anyway....

I know of these two books though I haven't read them - indeed Gail used to post on another forum and she kindly sent me a long email detailing her visit to Vienna and the various Beethoven sites. (My own visit has unfortunately been postponed till next year)

However I think the poisoning theory has now been discredited as a result of the hair tests, unless he was being poisoned with lead!

You may find this link interesting as it is an interview with Gail -
