I have my suspicions about its historical accuracy based on my college being notoriously conservative and my professor being an anticommunist. I was wondering if anyone here had read it or knew of a review that dissects its sourcing. I don’t have the time to heavily investigate this book unfortunately.


This is mostly true, but one of the professors that I’ve had issues with ended up giving my contested marks back and then nitpicking the rest of work to death within the bounds of the rubrics. I ended up withdrawing. It just isn’t worth it. Nobody is going to read my papers after I finish the course.
I will repeat that there are factors I have no means of accounting for that can readily make it not worth it, but my point isn’t about your papers or my papers or whatever, but about how these reactionaries go on to treat other students (and maybe just damaging their reputation to the administration, at least on the level of competence, because fuck them).
