But...then he would not sell as many books and make tons of money on the movie and.... What part of this would stop YOU from pushing your book? It is all about the oh might dollar this is his business, so whether Mr. Brown believes or not his hype is selling his book and people are buying it. In 5 years he could recant his words of today...but he would still be a very wealthy man. My husband is reading the book now and has asked me several times about points I know more about, and I have told him it is not what I have studied. It is a fictional book. Sadly it is more a point of our culture that we could go out and actually learn but instead a guy we don't know writes a fictional book and we learn history via it.
