De Marchi's histories of Fatima, both his earlier version, and this later one, provide the definitive account of the apparitions. For those who are looking for an historical report it will satisfy. For those who are looking for a theological analysis, Sr. Lucia Santos' "Call" will better serve (she was one of the seers). It should be noted that the devil is not unaware of God's activity in the world, as he was at the time of Christ. He makes his efforts to dissuade people from belief, and God makes His to encourage it. Every apparition which the Church has approved has typically been countered by him by false ones around the same time and place. The Church can tell the difference. In 1916 the Virgin was preceeded by an angel that prepared the children for the Blessed Virgin's appearance the following year. That so-called spiritists (i.e. occultists following their occult "Lord") should seek to muddy the waters or co-opt it with their "predictions" is not at all surprising. Fatima stands on the weight of the human testimony of the tens of thousands who witnessed the events, and the authority of the Church in approving it.

Review of the book and author John De March

Many books have been written on the subject of Fatima, but none in more lovingly detailed than this version, this particular book chronicles the lives of the children and the Catholic Church's involvement up to the present day. I first read a book by this author some five years or so ago, However this author published a book in 1950 titled `The true story of fatima' this covered the children's lives and family relationships in far more detail than this present revised copy. I would love a copy of the 1950 version if possible.
