"Rhett Butler's People" is a unique view of "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell from Rhett Butler's perspective. This is a MUST READ for anyone who loves the movie or book. I was a bit disappointed that the author, Donald McCaig, did not address the storyline laid out in "Scarlett" by Alexandra Ripley. Nevertheless, this book was very well written and gave a wonderful new perspective to the timeless love story of Rhett and Scarlet. McCaig re-created the passion, drama and sometime tragedy between the lovers with faithful yet imaginative imagery. He gave Rhett a background, family and friendships that are believable without loosing the mystery of the tall, dark and handsome hero that every woman longs to fall in love with.
