Never mind the use of "authoritarian." Maybe he meant "authoritative." Who knows? A classic pick 'em, as they say in Vegas. But since when is one man's take on what happened considered "objective history?" Objective means "undistorted by emotion or personal bias." His book may be many things, but it will doubtless not be that. He needs to swing for the fences.
