The New Internationalist? Lol. Hardly an unbiased source...
Okay, here are a few different ones...
"A full-blooded member of what he calls the "revisionist school" of Vietnam War historians.... Though Moyar marshals many primary sources to buttress his political point of view, he undermines his argument by disparaging those he disagrees with (calling Sheehan and Halberstam, for example, "indignant," "vengeful," and "self-righteous"). He also showers praise on those who backed Diem, the autocratic leader who stifled the press and his political opponents. Revisionists will embrace the book" (Publishers Weekly)
"A radically revisionist account of America's policy in Vietnam" (Library Journal)
"A revisionist history that challenges the notion that U.S. involvement in Vietnam was misguided" (Chronicle of Higher Education)
"will be challenged by many of the well-respected scholars he confronts" (ForeWard)
By the way, I give you the squinty skeptical eye for using Wikipedia.
Unless you can empirically demonstrate otherwise, this is opinion rather than factual.
Don't you think this is a silly thing to say? Of course that specific comment was my opinion. However... are you trying to insinuate that something can't be an "opinion" and also be "factual"??
Edit: can't forget aegyptos...
Anyone who doesn't agree with LP's extreme leftwing agenda is automatically a shallow revisionist
Uh, no. I've quoted other people's reviews of the guy's work.
