Book with little notability and of highly questionnable credibility. Published by a vanity press. The title gets a limited number of Google hits [1] mostly on forums, blogs and message boards and because his author gets some coverage as a Republican politician and a radio-show host. A previous debate resulted a year ago in a no consensus Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism. I'd like to point out that the book fails to meet the proposed criteria for notability of books:

  • the author is not primarily known as an author,
  • the book has won no awards,
  • the book has not been the subject of multiple indepedent reviews. You do find, for instance a review by Samuel L. Blumenfeld [2] although Blumenfeld is Morse's colleague at the WorldNetDaily [3] and his coauthor on at least one book [4] so his independence is suspect. You can also find blogs mentioning the book or giving basic reviews but again these are not generally considered as reliable sources.
