Unless the “author” self-published, how could her editors not have picked up on this massive error? This case was in the news for more than a year and the identities of the men who died were well known, as was the fact eacb was white. So, was the sloppy writing simply a mistake, was it poor editing, or was it an intentional and malicious effort to defame Rittenhouse? Because Rittenhouse arguably became a public figure as a consequence of this case, it might not be enough for him to win if the author and the editors simply were negligent.

I'm guessing the author meant to say that "Kyle Rittenhouse shot TWO MEN who could have easily been BLACK".

Heh heh. Or that he was so mad that they weren't black that he shot them harder than usual. :)

If you recall, Darrell Brooks, who ran over and killed 6 people and injured 55, his attack is listed as the “SUV Attack” even thought it was a Black Man who deliberately ran over White people. And the news continues with “other more interesting stories” and Darrell’s racist attack is buried in the backrooms.

British “author”?
The British “Independent” news paper claimed Rittenhouse shot two black men dead. They are yet to correct that story as far as I know.

Sued for WHAT? What is actionable here?

Defamation of character?
An obvious attempt to stir up crazy BLM terrorists to murder Rittenhouse? Etc etc

No, she is at UCLA. She’s being skewered on her Twitter.

Depends how the language around the obvious factual error was worded. If the book states or implies that Rittenhouse was acting on some animus against black folks, or part of a group that that is thought to be associated with such animus, the publisher is in for a pocket-cleaning. That would be libel and defamation.

The correct information is available on the public record from sworn testimony. No wiggle room there.

Sadly, it goes to show how the mainstream media puts forth lies that become accepted as facts.

because for postmodernist lefturd loons, there is no objective truth, and so it is the narrative that fits their agenda that matters.

On p. 341 of THE GOOD KINGS I state that Kyle Rittenhouse shot two Black men when instead he shot two white men. That was my mistake, and I apologize. The response has been a hateful stew of ridicule and denial that America has a race problem at all.

I think there are lot of liberals that believe the same thing. The round the clock accusations of being a white supremacist would lead anyone to believe it if all you watched was the MSM.
