A trend I'm seeing involves rewriting history to suit the author. Testimonials are shown in the book's Amazon listing. The praise hides the bias of the author. Too often, authors think "I'll just go on book tours, appear here and there, and my book will sell."


If it is off topic, if it contains bias, it should get the valid criticism it deserves. Also, the general public needs to be warned.


Some authors have this fictional idea that history can be done differently. That books about past events need useless additions. This in an attempt to promote their imaginary ideas about what they think history should be. Facts are facts. That never changes. When new evidence appears then by all means, add it to the historical record. Anything else falls under "history my way." No. Never.

Quoting my own post...
