The solution is to write a book about the subject correcting Arming America's errors. I have one written, and finally, publishers are beginning to show some interest

They can do no less and live up to the example of the firm's founder who, though he valued loyalty to his authors, valued scholarly integrity and intellectual honesty even more.

A long abandoned philosophy.

[Cicero]

Alfred A. Knopf was a distinguished publishing firm with a long and distinguished reputation for publishing great writers. Like most other institutions in the intellectual world, it is much more liberal than it used to be, and liberalism has come to represent a certain indifference to telling the truth, as long as the ideology is politically correct.

In other words, the firm has been taken over by mental and moral midgets, as is the case with most of our universities and other institutions of learning.

The obvious solution is for Knopf to proceed with its plans to re-issue the book--but as fiction, for that's what it is.

There is a poll on History News Network on whether Knopf should recall Michael Bellesiles' Arming America.
