Whether she told "lies" or employed "imaginative fabrications"--
a methodology that one esteemed reviewer called "outrageous"--
that author has discredited the historical profession and revealed
the sham of commercial publishing and the once-credible National 
Book Award.  That so few have criticized one of the worst-titled and
least reliable books of "history"--which sadly beat out a fabulous 
book by the president of Harvard--is a sad commentary on our 
times and the clearest signal yet that factually-accurate research
and writing are DEAD in this country.  More hype and hyprocrisy
of a celebrity culture to match our dismal economy and disastrous
politics!
