Ha, ha-ha-ha, hA, HA! Bellesiles SUCKS. WE RULE.
I’m linking to the Google search of his name because there are dozens of stories all over the country all saying the same thing:
Publisher of controversial gun book backs out
New York-AP—A historian is catching more flak for his book on the history of guns in America.
The publisher of “Arming America” by Michael Bellesiles (bell-eel) says it will no longer sell the book. Last month, Columbia University rescinded the prestigious Bancroft Prize it had awarded to Bellesiles.
“Arming America” challenges the idea that the U-S has always been a gun-oriented culture—for example, that well-armed militias were essential to the Revolutionary War.
It won quick praise, but criticism began building over Bellesiles’ research.
Scholars noted his failure to cite sources for crucial data. They said that suggested “falsification.”
Bellesiles admits some errors, but defends his book as fundamentally sound. He recently resigned as a professor at Emory University after he was rebuked by a panel of scholars.
In case you’ve not read my site before, I have a whole category dedicated to this moron. Like I’ve said many a time, this couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. When your publisher pulls your book, WHICH IS STILL SELLING (!), it might be time to give up the ghost and just admit defeat.
This guy’s ego won’t allow him to admit his deception, take responsibility for it and apologize. I hope he ends up teaching Special Ed in the Black Hills...he’s not qualified to teach anything else.
Except Gym. :)
