An entertaining and different kind of book about Panama
By pete fusco
I read a lot of fiction and, quite frankly, loved this book as much as anything I've read lately. Stough has written an unpretentious chronicle of Panama from the Spanish conquest to the present--and beyond. The story is told through people connected by blood and also by Panama's rich, varied culture. There are enough heroic, doomed, quixotic characters--spread over 350 years--to shame the Bard, a collection of natives, Spanish conquistadors, English pirates, opportunists of every ilk and, of course, French and American canal builders.

Rich history, well-written, deserves your time
By Jeanne M. Martin
I always appreciate learning more about history in a way that is easy to digest. This book is thought out and well-written. The characters and languare are rich. This book has given Captain Morgans Spiced Rum ads a whole new meaning for me.

Stone Flute is entertaining, but historically unreliable
By David M. Fishlow
I served half a century ago in the Peace Corps in Panama simultaneously with Charles Stough, but we had only a barely passing acquaintance. (I remember seeing a few of the columns he wrote for his family-owned newspaper back in the States at that time, under the rubric "Rotten to the Corps," which seemed at the time, and 50 years later still seems, a reflection of singularly poor taste.) Having read only brief excerpts from this book, "Stone Flute,"I am not really qualified to review it as a whole, but the excerpts I have read relate to a subject about which I know a good deal: the 1941 massacre of the Swiss and German members of a religious colony by the Panamanian police under the command of a Captain Antonio Huff.
In "Stone Flute" Stough has written a fictionalized history of Panam�, including a chapter on the massacre. Presumably because Arnulfo Arias, who was president of Panam� at the time of the massacre, was still living at the time Stough published his book, he appears thinly disguised as the President Villalba. I presume because the laws of libel--which is a criminal offense in Panam�--do not apply to the dead, Stough portrays Antonio Huff, and the Instructor General (in practical terms, at the time, the national commander of the police), Fernando G�mez Ayau, with their own, true names.
Unfortunately however, Stough obviously relies for his version of events on a scurrilous fabrication published in Spanish as "Holocausto en Panam�" by Aristides Iv�n Hass�n R., a hack job commissioned by the military government of Manuel Antonio Noriega to besmirch the reputation of Arnulfo Arias in order to further the candidacy of a Noriega-puppet in the presidential elections. It is an incoherent, Jew-obsessed, chronicle of murders that never occurred, a "holocaust" in Panama that was entirely a fiction of Hassan's bizarre imagination. Unfortunately, some of its blow-by-blow descriptions of unimaginably brutal carnage, which Hass�n asserts was perpretrated by the Arias government under direct, personal orders of Hitler, are incorporated into Stough's "Stone Flute."
While the police did indeed kill twelve innocents and injure eight others, including women and children, in a cold-blooded and alcohol fueled massacre on July 7, 1941, most of the other incidents invented by Hass�n and parroted by Stough never took place. Hass�n, his scurrilous book, his pointless and outrageous exhumations of the mass grave at Cotito, and a CNN "news broadcast" by a thoroughly hood-winked Peter Arnett were successful in creating the myth that Arnulfo Arias--whose politics were bizarre and racist, to be sure--was an out-and-out Nazi acting under director orders from Hitler, which is simply not true, as the historical record demonstrates.
Unfortunately, Charles Stough fell for the same fabricated story, but fortunately, "Stone Flute" was never widely circulated in Panam�, and probably did little to further perpetrate the fraud.
For the true story of the massacre, see Dr Carlos Cuestas G�mez's "Cotito: Chronicle of a Forgotten Crime," unfortunately out of print in the original Spanish, but widely available in (I confess) my English translation.Cotito: Chronicle of a Forgotten Crime
