Reply #11: The book I referred to above is Fatal Justice by Potter and Bost

[Stevepol]

Here's a brief review of that book. It refers to the McGinnis book that paints McDonald as a murderer (Fatal Vision) and then mentions the book I read:

A reviewer, January 25, 2005,
a true work of fiction
McGinnis crafts a great work of fiction that actually persuaded the public that MacDonald killed his wife and children. If you want the real story of what happened, read Jerry Allen Potter and Fred Bost's book called Fatal Justice: The Reinvestigation of the MacDonald Murders. First his wife and children were murdered, then the Army bungled the investigation, then he was persecuted for making the Army look bad, then McGinnis turned on him and wrote this. Twenty five years later, this man is still in jail ... that's the second tragedy in this whole story.
