COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good book submitted by njdsilva on July 16, 2012, 1:13pm This is exhaustively researched. The author went to great lengths to report not just the facts of events, but Herge's viewpoint and the viewpoint of the public. It was slightly shocking to read about Herge's connections to Nazism, however slight, but it gives an idea of the man behind Tintin.
