Yah well, I had a class with Steadman-Jones at Cambridge in 1980. He was at least pink then and the class was not bad. I was way red at the time, so if I had thought him faint of heart I would have noticed. And Fred Halliday has remained a careful scholar so far as I can tell, not that I have followed his recent work. This stuff by contrast is shit. Denying the battles on the Long March is like denying that Verdun or Stalingrad took place. Don't call our attention to every bit of "Masters of Deceit" rubbish that flaots to the surface. If there is an actually interesting or worthwhile book, then mention it.
