You might have heard something of the controversy surrounding Michael Bellesile's Arming America, a work of history attracting harsh criticism for inaccuracy. Here's an FOS angle on the controversy. Jim Lindgren published a critique of the book in the April Yale Law Journal (printed circulation 3,300). But as of this morning, the free online version of his article had attracted 82,843 downloads.

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
