The  publisher, on the publishing side of the house, had not listed this 
work  
as a history work.
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.
 
The publisher has also not listed "Killing Lincoln" on their novels or  
literature and fiction pages.  The publisher is very clearly and explicitly  
marketing the book as "history", so I think we are fully justified in saying  
that Henry Holt and Company has published the book as a work of history,  
regardless of its evident flaws.  And for what it is worth, "Killing  Lincoln" 
was on the New York Times and Los Angeles Times nonfiction bestseller  
lists, not as fiction.
