Hi Trish-

   Good for you! 
   I'm not a historian but I, as well as most of our members, I'm sure knew 
the things you point out. Learning them when we were growing up.  Maybe with 
the exception of John2 and Ys, which seriously make me doubt any credibility 
they may have had. The many buzz words the authors of the book use give them 
away immediately.
   I certainly won't be reading that book but in a way I am disappointed. I 
wish the writer could have been objective about the events. But I guess that 
wouldn't have served his interests.
