I hear Japan and Turkey "authorized" their history books to omit war atrocities.
I'm sure someone can point out exactly what the author is wrong on and all that instead of just attacking the author for writing something that isn't "authorized".

Rudey if it was that simple we would. The books are 1) overpriced, 2) most are under 150 pages 6 by 8 pages are often on size 20ish font, and 3) it's not a history of our orgs--it's cut and pasted information found on the net or in the few AUTHORIZED histories pasted together for public consumption. And the mistakes from those sources are reprinted verbatim and as facts when they are indeed not true. We aren't slamming him for the sake of slamming him. His "work" is at best a rip off and at worst a big steaming pile of crap.
ETA: He flat out makes up some stuff in the Delta book and no I'm not just saying that because someone told me. I bought the book to see why all of the prospective friends I had at the time were clamoring about it. After reading it all I could do is laugh because nothing in there would prepare anyone to be a Delta not to mention the amount of incorrect info in it. Authorization, in this cause I'm sure you know, is the only way to make sure the info is based on history versus conjecture.
