It sure has a lot of 5 star ratings on Amazon.

And looking at one of the negative ratings, "Shallow and conclusory entertainment" and "no scholarly piece of work", it appears the reviewer didn't access the "notes" section that's available by looking inside the book on Amazon's main page. Seems well researched to me.

I found it at my public library under new arrivals. Requested it.

What is your issue with Oliver Stone?
