Title: Buy it as fiction not history
Product review: The Mormon church claims the book is a historical account of people that lived in the Americas. No one outside of the church believes it is a historical work at all. One of the stories of the book is found in Ether. The story claims that 2,000,000 men died in battle on one side of the war. Assuming a similar number of combatants died on the other side fighting the war, 4,000,000 men died in battle. At that time, this would mean that more than 4% of the world's population died in a war that no one other than Mormons know about. No evidence of this tremendously large battle has ever been found. As the Smithsonian Institution has previously said, the book has never been relied on for any historical purpose. That is because it is fiction. If you want to learn from the stories found in the book, go ahead. Just know it never happened as the church claims.
