Author: Peter van der Hoog
Subject: Bobby Fischer goes to war

This weekend I bought the Dutch translation of the book "Bobby Fischer goes to war". The book is written in the thorough tradition of BBC journalism and anybody who want to comment on the political background of the 1972 match should read this book first. I found especially interesting the in depth portrait of Spassky and the chapter on Regina Fischer. They come up with some unknown facts from the time she lived in Moscow, at least unknown for me. I�m now half way the book and when I get time I will give here some more comment.

Unnecessarily to say that nothing in the book confirms Rita�s delusions.
