Review
0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lack of academic veracity and integrityBy ReaderThe main problem with this book is its lack of academic veracity and integrity. Several sources are incorrectly cited; thus they cannot be verified. When I was able to check several original sources; I found that they are misquoted. Even easily checked names are misspelled. If this book receives any accolades; it's because no one has actually bothered to confirm that what the author writes is accurate. If this passes for academic analysis; then standards have certainly fallen.Author Grade: F
