ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
THE AUTHOR'S STATEMENT OF POSITION AND OPINION IN REGARD TO THE CAUSES AND OUTCOME OF THE RICHARD MONTGOMERY'S FATE:
In my research I have been very careful not to be pedantic or to align myself with any website or source that promotes or disseminates information about the Richard Montgomery, I have very carefully limited the information to primary, established scientific foundations, National Archives contemporary witnesses and original documented information. I have also avoided taking sides in this contentious subject. The book does not include any hyperlinks to websites or indeed and hyperlinks.
To quote from the introduction to the book:
‘This book aims to throw some light on the Montgomery story; it draws no final conclusion on outcomes but aims to provide a clear forensic analysis of the physical evidence, primary documents and witness statements. The objective is to provide an accessible source of information, facts and some hypotheses to allow the general readership to make up its own mind and decide what is provable and what is credible and what is fallacy.
The author does not challenge, contest, dispute or refute what others have said on this thought provoking subject, this judgement is left to the discernment of the reader.
To promote this end I will not be actively seeking promotion or approval of the book or website, they will stand alone.
The reader may be baffled by this position, the simple reason is that I have, as a scientist and industrial chemist, for over sixty years, have been an advocate of scientific rigour, sadly modern practice does not agree.
Caveat: The author is in no way critical of individuals who hold a view, manage websites etc. and he will not take an 'ad hominem' position against any view and hopes that readers will agree.
