>>So thar is all a null.
>>The publisher, on the publishing side of the house, had not listed this

>>In its own house.
>>No one has refuted this simple statement.
>>So, if the publishing side does not count this as a "history"
>publication, all academic arguments are void.
>>Indeed, every time the word "history" in reviews is sued, it is with a

>>Frankly, any book that has Lincoln furrowing his brow, wanting to vomit

>>Ford's Theater peddles this thing upstairs to make a few bucks. In the
>history section, it is not available.
>>
>>This is not a history book. Some may peddle it with the word history, but
>the publisher does not.

>>No one has refuted thsi simple statemenr.

>>> Yes. You are wrong. It is not a novel and the publisher - and
>everyone else - describes it as a history.
>>>
>>> Here is how the publisher describes it.
>>>
>>> A riveting historical narrative of the heart-stopping events
>surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first work of history from
>mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly

>>> What part of history don't you understand?
