The world of American historians held its collective breath in anticipation of a review last month by four prominent scholars in a forum in the prestigious William and Mary Quarterly.

Three of the four solicited essays raised serious questions about Bellesiles' work. David Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Emory University colleague, told The Atlanta Journal and Constitution that "cumulatively, those three essays make a powerful case for a charge of scholarly incompetence, of being so blinded by the light that he rode roughshod over anything that didn't propel him toward the light."



This book could benefit from additional research into it's facts and to discovering related facts that bear light on the subject.

OK, TP, I did not find it hard to read at all, so I guess we have descended to the last ditch defense, trash the critic. What is being said, to sum up, is that Bellisiles is does not reflect the current state of scholarship, and uses his sources to poorly to establish his own premises.
