Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In the US we are subject to sensational, yet dubious, newspaper headlines & web postings. Now we can add questionable “history books” The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington is based on nothing more than rumor & conjecture. The author provides only a handful of source facts and turns it into 410 pages of speculation and repetitive prose. In the books “Author’s Notes” Brad Meltzer writes about reaching out to historian Joseph Ellis who tells him that this topic will “…always be elusive” & Meltzer states “He was right”. Then the question begs, why try to write a book?
