This may well be worth the read, and certainly received its fair share of hype in the late seventies, but be aware that the author - at least in his native Denmark - has been repeatedly exposed for somewhat inventive interpretations of truth. For example, it has been firmly established that in actual fact he did not - as he claims in American Pictures - participate in or even experience any fighting at Wounded Knee in 1973, where he apparently only arrived when the incident was effectively over.
- jacobush 7y agoI only quickly read to page 11, (all pages super interesting) but I don't think it says outright he was there, though strongly implies it. But it says Wounded Knee made it apparent to him he was not a fighter.
- interfixus 7y agoHoldt's propensity for fabrication is well known. To the extent that that he was once featured on a Danish site reminiscent of The Onion - about how he accompanied Apollo 11 to the Moon, but arrived late for take-off and had to cling to the ascending Saturn V. On arrival, he found only sad and disenfranchised nazis there.
