That's just about par with his works on the Bermuda Triangle - in addition to reporting inaccurate myths and complete lies (the British freighter SS Cyclops didn't mysteriously disappear in 1941 like the USS Cyclops - she was torpedoed by U-123 but Berlitz seems to think otherwise
) he wanders off talking about Atlantis and UFO's - supposedly, this is to explain the disappearances, but he seems to go a little too far off track at times. Not a good book.
I agree. I think Berlitz should have stuck to teaching languages rather than dipping his toes into the occult.
