This is from a piece discussing a new 2010 book by discredited history professor Michael Bellesiles. In particular, it refers to a paragraph in the promotional material for that book.
Seems that Bellesiles rubs off on his publishers, too.
The linked piece, “Amazing Disgrace,” is a pretty comprehensive review of the Arming America scandal, or as he terms it l’affaire Bellesiles, and worth your time.
Especially the last couple of paragraphs.
