4 reviews on JSTOR. Sole book by historian at University of Wisconsin–Platteville. E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:46, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:NOTPROMO, a clear WP:COI creation on a book to which no pages have linked in the decade that it has existed. It is out of print and was never issued in paperback. 22 citations at gScholar, but they do not discuss the book, they merely namecheck. The 4 reviews range form polite to negative, AHR: "both the conception and the execution of this book are flawed." I'm just not seeing notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:02, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- ADVERT masquerading as a book review/blurb. I would expect a bio of the author before we start on articles on his books. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:56, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
