Look about 3/4 of the way down the list - there it is..."A Little Matter of Genocide"...by the disgraced Ward Churchill.

Assessing Ward Churchill’s Version of the 1837 Smallpox Epidemic

Conclusion


Situating Churchill’s rendition of the epidemic in a broader historiographical analysis, one must reluctantly conclude that Churchill fabricated the most crucial details of his genocide story. Churchill radically misrepresented the sources he cites in support of his genocide charges, sources which say essentially the opposite of what Churchill attributes to them.

It is a distressing conclusion. One wants to think the best of fellow scholars. The scholarly enterprise depends on mutual trust. When one scholar violates that trust, it damages the legitimacy of the entire academy. Churchill has fabricated a genocide that never happened. It is difficult to conceive of a social scientist committing a more egregious violation.

So who did Churchill copy his book from?
