Chris,
The facts are all that is required. Not opinions. Not posts on X. If this book is badly "off topic" or just plain wrong, that needs to be reported. I suggest quoting some key points in this book and comparing them with the facts that clearly show the author is wrong, and posting that on Amazon.
I think the public deserves no less as well as the historical research community.
Sometimes, it happens that authors develop relationships that cannot see past this. Also, I have seen other examples of books appearing and the author appears unaware of the fact that there is a research community outside of their own circle.
