Description
History Enhanced offers part of the official record, and the author’s creative writing and insights help us understand much of what else could have happened in seven penetrating short stories.
Robert Walker – Walker, a talented actor but shy and nervous young man, marries beautiful and gifted actress Jennifer Jones and believes he has found eternal happiness. Instead, legendary producer David O. Selznick pursues his wife while Walker descends into mental illness.
Power Couple – Few actresses in Hollywood history have been as beautiful as Joan Bennett, who is also a fine actress. Men pursue her, and she always needs a man, but her marriage to prominent producer Walter Wanger leads to unforeseeable problems.
The Educator – Vincent Brothers, a prominent vice principal, is respected on campus but sometimes violent at home. In this story readers witness the mounting turmoil in his private life with girlfriends, wives, children, and his mother-in-law.
Alternative Interrogation – Joe DeAngelo is accused of being a serial rapist and murderer. In this imaginative story, a mysterious investigator gets tough with the suspect, demanding the truth.
The Slugger – Senator Joseph McCarthy portrays himself as the most patriotic man in America while he pursues communists real and imagined. In reality, he’s a depressed alcoholic and his most dangerous enemy.
Nixon Responds – Young Richard Nixon is bright and talented but resentful about a myriad of people he believes have wronged him. He marries a lovely and supportive woman, Pat, who helps his political career. But, as readers watch, he battles her and colleagues as well as enemies as his inner turmoil grows.
Fidel Forever – Fidel thinks he has charisma and special political talent, and he does. He also believes he can destroy or at least thwart political adversaries anywhere in the world. Sometimes he’s right but, as he slides into megalomania, his personal and professional relationships suffer.

I really enjoyed this as a historical fiction novel, it had that concept that I was looking for and enjoyed the feel of this. The plot was everything that I was expecting and enjoyed the feel of this story. The characters worked in the story and the time-period going on. George Thomas Clark wrote this perfectly and left me wanting more.
