Selected reviews

"David Gewirtz, Editor-in-Chief of DominoPower and OutlookPower, recently published a book entitled, Where Have All The Emails Gone? David sent me a copy of the book a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't put it down. He's written it in a very engaging tech writer kind of style, but he doesn't go too deep into the bits and bytes of DNS, MX records, or the like."
-- Ed Brill, IBM Lotus executive

"Thanks for your wonderful essay Where Have All The Emails Gone? Best piece on the issue I've read yet." -- Mark Hall, Computerworld

"David Gewirtz, author of the book Where Have All The Emails Gone? has pioneered a new form of investigative reporting by taking a technical look at the White House email infrastructure. I recommend Gewirtz' book to anyone who wants a non-partisan understanding of the White House email mess" -- Robin Harris, ZDNET

A detective story that reads like a "Dummies" book for the technically challenged, Where Have All The Emails Gone? relied upon good old fashioned shoe-leather reporting to tell the story of the missing emails and using the public record in attempting to solve the mystery."
-- Jason Leopold, Online Journal

"Paced like a thriller, Where Have All The E-mails Gone? is the most comprehensive analysis of White House email ever published." -- Heidi Schwartz, Today's Facility Manager

"The definitive account about the circumstances that led to the loss of administration emails."
-- The Dissident Voice

"A fascinating look at the the technical details behind the "missing" White House emails by David Gewirtz, a former professor of computer science who has lectured at UC Berkeley."
-- Lindsay Beyerstein

"David Gewirtz's report...makes for scary reading." -- Presto Vivace, Slashdot

"If you're in charge of managing an email platform, I recommend that you read this book."
 -- Karen Hobert

"David Gewirtz: One of his predictions comes true...You have to read the entire article to get the full effect. but this may raise the hairs on the back of your neck...You have to hand it to Gewirtz for reporting on the continuing saga of White House email. Most of the "mainstream media" has already left the scene for some titillating news story out of Hollywood, but he keeps his attention on the ball." -- Gregg Eldred

"Email can be boring, but not when delivered in such a fine novel expose. And the topic will grab you, make you want to call your Congressman, and demand action and accountability."
-- Gregg Eldred

"Check out the companion Web site and think about reading the book -- it's a useful survey of some important email market dynamics, and also an objective (and mostly nonpartisan) assessment of what appears to be incredibly bad IT policy within the White House."
-- Peter O'Kelly

"If you find some time to read, check out Where Have All The Emails Gone?, and by all means set aside some time for Tolstoy's Anna as well. The former is a quick and intriguing read, and as significant as the classic Russian novel." — Alex Mendelsohn, EN-Genius Network

"This is an outstanding job of investigative reporting and of providing answers, in advance, for all of the ridiculous excuses and hand-waving explanations the Bush Regime's spokespersons have attempted and will continue to attempt as they try to bamboozle their way out of yet another monumental scandal." — Dan Shafer, OpEdNews

"This is a must read for anyone who is involved in the messaging industry and wants to learn from the mistakes of a botched real-world compliance, retention and archiving installation."
 -- Sonian Blog

"Scary reading for anyone who cares about America's security. This isn't a partisan or crazy conspiracy book, email is something that every Executive in the last 20 years has made serious mistakes with, and David ends with recommendations on how to improve the current dire situation." — Pete Warden

"If you are interested, David Gewirtz of DominoPower wrote a very thorough story on the matter. It even resulted in a book Where Have All The Emails Gone? Admins will love this book, but even us devs can get a lot out of it. Highly recommended."
-- Timothy Briley, comment on LotusGeek

"David is a good writer. He explains a lot of technical details about archiving and the White House in ways that make it sound like a thriller. You do not need to be technical to follow it. If you get a chance, find a copy." — Roger Matus, Death by Email
