From what I understand, there is no 'spin'. If Hicks could spin, he woudn't be telling this particular story at all It's just him, no historical data, no referencing news articles or checking data with official bodies, just his words about what he saw and thought. There's already books that do the timeline and fact checking stuff (Leigh Sales' book for eg).
But I honestly dont know if I will ever get though it, mainly because I have never believed that the government, and media were telling the whole truth. And I also believe that Hicks hasn't told the whole truth either. I suppoes its a case of every story has 3 sides, the government and media side, Hick's side, and the truth.
I will be interested to see what others think of his book though!
I think if Hicks could spin that would mean he had his wits about him and he wouldn't have ended up in the situation he was in. I'll be interested to read this, mostly because I've always thought it was a case of someone tripping off looking for something idealistically without actually arming themselves with information from a number of perspectives. People who are happy to be told stuff and believe it without checking it out critically for themselves tend to land themselves in all sorts of hot water. This is just one very extreme case of that.
