Dr.Issels told Bob a story about a German aquaintance who had advised Issels not to treat him, saying that Marley was the most dangerous black man on the planet. A strange (Nazi) aquaintance for an emminent (quack) doctor? Not really, Joseph Issels was an officer in the SS and had served a jail term for manslaughter. Bob himself sometimes felt the injections he was given were poison, and in bad moments thought they were trying to kill him. When Bob was too ill to continue treatment and Issels sent him home to die, he kissed his teeth bitterly and said softly, “Dr.Issels is a madman.”

Robert Nesta Marley, the King of Reggae, had been at the pinnacle of his career and was in danger of bringing World Peace.

This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die…
