History News Network seeks “history books that nobody should take seriously”

I don’t think I need to add much to this New York Times article. Note who is “running strong.”

HNN is accepting nominations for history books that nobody should take seriously. Do you have a book in mind? Send an email to [email protected]. Next week readers will vote on the nominees to name the least credible history book in print!

I have some ideas. Want to share yours?

  1. While voting is a good way to get people involved. I think it would be a useful to have some objective analysis as well. Ex: going through the list and counting the factual errors in them.

  2. Great to hear that the word is going out about what is not credible to follow. Thanks for keeping us informed!

  3. How about Scott Lively’s The Pink Swastika? Or is too obviously hate propaganda to be considered a history book?
