Often I like to summarize a book for my reference, and so other people can get a flavor of what is in the book. This book did it for me between pages 235 and 240, plus 252-253. That is too much to summarize in a medium length book review. So, this book is engagingly written by a historian who had extensive experience with rumor, innuendo, and like techniques. To get a quick overview, those pages (Appendix A, and C) give a summary of the questions to ask when evaluating new information.
He is well qualified: “Keith A. Erekson is an award-winning author, teacher, and public historian who currently serves as the director of historical research and outreach for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He also sits on the editorial board of the Church Historian’s Press.”
