Title: Like PT Barnum said...
Review: Bellesiles' argument that Americans in the days of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett disdained firearms and his methodology for asserting this were obviously suspect, as evident from even the brief reviews (I heavily annotated my Economist review). This did not impede an initial shower of praise and awards for the book and Bellesiles wielded his prestige as political power to file an amicus brief in a federal gun control trial. ...the book likely will remain prestigious to the usual suspects. If you would still like this work on your bookshelf to impress certain sub-species of intellectuals and book fanciers, I recommend gluing the pages together as a safety device, especially if you have children in the home.
