Missing from the reviewer's list is the work of historian-biographer Stephen B. Oates who wrote a book about the Turner rebellion and engaged in a debate with Styron himself --- (I think in the pages of the Nation) --- where Oates demonstrated that Turner's birth certificate actually existed whereas Styron was skeptical about its existence ---
I wonder if the author ignored Oates' work --- which though written originally in the 1960s was re-issued in paperback form in 1990 --- (Think the title is THE FIERY TRIAL ??)
