Spectator in Hell is Colin's first published book and the Summersdale second and improved edition includes Arthur Dodd returning to Auschwitz with a BBC film crew, the documentary produced havingbeen bought by BBC World Television for coverage around the globe.
Colin has recently completed a true First World War story entitled Spirit Of The Trenches. This book, yet unpublished, contains true reflections from combatants in The Great War, personally gleaned from interviews in Britain and Canada some twenty years ago.
Its belated completion is due in no small part to the galvanising effect of describing Arthur Dodd's incredible experiences as a Spectator in Hell.
Currently, Colin is working on an equally incredible true Holocaust survival story, spanning no less than 5 years 2 months in 9 different camps of the Third Reich's many such institutions. 18 months of this period was spent in the notorious Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp where the subject received Dr. Mengele's permission to live another day, on less than 40 occasions. The amazing story is complemented by numerous German photographs, many of which will, to date, have been unseen by the outside world.weniger sehen
