Index to claims made in One Nation Under Gods
| Overview | A FAIR Analysis of: One Nation Under Gods A work by author: Richard Abanes
|
Use of sources |
...after seven years, FAIR has been able to raise only twenty-seven objections to a book weighing in at 651 pages (471 pages of main text + nearly 150 pages of endnotes + bibliography + indexes). Particularly interesting is how most these so-called errors-mistakes (minus the ones too petty to even address) have all been resolved in the paperback version.
—The author, posted on his website "ERRATA FOR ONE NATION UNDER GODS" (Dec. 2008)
FAIR's original review of One Nation Under Gods was of the original 2002 hardback edition. The author has responded that there were editorial problems with this edition. We acknowledge that corrections were made in the paperback edition released in 2003 in response to some of the original reviews. Consequently, all previous FAIR reviews have been edited for accuracy and tone, and the paperback edition of this work has been evaluated on its own merits. (It should be noted that the corrected paperback edition bears no markings indicating that it is a second edition or an updated edition; it simply appears as a paperback edition of the original.)
This is an index of claims made in this work with links to corresponding responses within the FAIRwiki. An effort has been made to provide the author's original sources where possible.
In the subarticles linked below the hardback edition is represented by "HB" and the paperback edition by "PB."
