'Neider's book is better than any other book on the subject of men, horses and death, except Isaac Babel's Red Cavalry. Not a far-fetched comparison when you consider that Neider - though American-raised - was Odessa-born' Clive Sinclair
CHARLES NEIDER (1915-2001) was a Jewish refugee from Odessa who became a scholar of the works of Mark Twain. The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones was the basis of the only film directed by Marlon Brando, One-Eyed Jacks.
