What does the sentence "The book subscribes largely to the revisionist school of history" mean? The link to revisionism doesn't seem to bring any clarity, only more confusion. --LA2 01:17, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Well, the whole revisionism line is inaccurate and misleading anyway. I've removed it and expanded a little on the biographical background.

[edit] Thousands

I just changed thousand to thousands and am wondering if perhaps making this 'many' or something else would be more appropriate. Did he really interview 2000+ people personally? If so, it might be best to put an approximate number like 'nearly 2500 people'... for now thousands stays. --Matthew K (talk) 01:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
