It’s been a while
Been a while since I mentioned discredited guy who makes stuff up scholar Bellesiles. I wouldn’t mention him again except for this piece being brought to my attention:
It turns out that Mr. Bellesiles is still riding his dead horse, his nonexistent guns still blazing. Soft Skull Press (which takes pride in putting out books that other publishers avoid like ricin) has not only agreed to reissue “Arming America” but has decided to release Mr. Bellesiles’s latest response to his critics. This 59-page pamphlet, “Weighed in an Even Balance,” is a spirited attempt by Mr. Bellesiles to turn himself into the world’s latest misunderstood genius. As such, it’s worth reading for pure entertainment value.
