Title: Not a single source reference
Product review: The book makes radical claims but does not have a single source referenced throughout 220+ pages of its text to substantiate its allegations.It does include an appendix with the list of books and documents that the author allegedly used, however there are no references to these sources from the main text to support author's statements, and the document list is not accompanied by archival case numbers. Some of the documents, for example, are listed as "FBI Reports, Various, 1942".Overall, the book appears to be of the genre generally described as "folk history".Tellingly, search in JSTOR database does not find a single academic review of the book. As a matter of fact, there are only two references to the book at all -- one in a theoretical article unconcerned with particulars of real history, another in an article published by Canadian labor history magazine.
