....i thought someone had to say the words tendentious and joke and so i did.
in this particular situation, i would toss such weight as my professional identity as historian has behind those words as well: the edito bit in the op is a purely ideological document. it purports to be historical, but it isnt. as an ideological document, its claims can be dismantled as folk see fit.
but up front it should be understood that this is simply (and simple) ideology.
