I wouldn't have thought you could tell from his rhetoric, it may just as likely be the case that the Standing Committee on Research Misconduct stoped at six because that was sufficient to prove their case and have him fired. You'd have to look up just exactly what evidence the committee reviewed
luckily you can read their entire report here

well, because the reviewer mentions the many cases in international law that the us violated as well as the un resolutions they impeded. He also backs up his assertions in other reviews of a peacefl marxist allende.

Is the reviewer reliable?

W.C. isn't even a reliable source for his own biography.

Churchill boasted he went to paratrooper school, then volunteered for Vietnam, where he served a tour as Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol.

In fact, he was drafted in 1996 and was trained as a projectionist and light truck driver.

Churchill boasted that he is Muscogee and Creek on his father's side, and Cherokee on his mother's.

Churchill's genealogy reports no evidence of a single Indian ancestor. Both of Churchill's birth parents are listed as white on the 1930 census.

And for the cherry on the Sundae:

The University of Colorado at Boulder Investigative Committee on W.C.'s published essay agreed unanimously that Churchill had engaged in "serious research misconduct", including falsification, fabrication and plagiarism."
 
here is the review in full

This is quite simply the most thorough Catalogue of U.S. Atrocities & Crimes I've ever read. Not only is every U.S. overt & covert intervention (particularly more detailed post WWII) catalogued, but possibly every U.S. veto, semi-veto & major rejection of U.N. resolutions (both UNSC & UNGA) & violations & rejections of international law.

From the overthrow of democracy & installation of brutal dictators in Iran in '53, in Guatemala in '54, in Brazil in '64, in Indonesia in '65, in Greece in '67, in Chile in '73, to the the millions of lives lost in direct (& proxy) intervention: 3 million in Korea, 3.5 million in Vietnam, 1 million in Cambodia & Laos (before Pol Pot), 1 million in Indonesia & East Timor, 500,000+ in Latin America, 1.3 million in U.S. led Iraq sanctions, etc.

One of the compelling reasons to get this book is the fact that each single piece of information in it is 98.8% guaranteed to be backed up by irrefutable evidence, because in 2005-2006 Ward Churchill was investigated by the Standing Committee on Research Misconduct at the University of Colorado after comments he made about 9/11. According to Noam Chomsky, the committee's fine tooth-combing through Churchill's work amounted to a 'Witch hunt'.

Churchill was charged with multiple counts of academic misconduct, including four counts of falsifying information, two counts of fabricating information. What's so telling about this, particularly relating to this book - besides from the fact that almost anyone, even the most conscientious & diligent researcher could be found guilty of such things (simply by losing a source) - is that he was only found guilty of SIX counts of falsifying or fabricating information in 2006! This book, which was published in 2004 contains 1000's & 1000's of pieces of information & facts about U.S. crimes & since it contains the essay which got Churchill into trouble, it was most definitely included in the investigation.

Let's assume all 6 of Ward Churchill's 'falsifications' were found in this book alone, this would make it one of the most trustworthy sources of information on U.S. crimes ever compiled, since it contains so many 1000's of separately documented & dated facts, all but 6 of which ironically, were unintentionally given the seal of authenticated approval by those attempting to discredit Churchill.

well, the reviewer also said that Agee is a good soruce on CIA history. I'll Stick with John Stockwell thank you very much.
 
Paleface pretending to be Indian speak with forked tongue.
You have no idea how REAL Native Americans despise Churchill.

Have you read the other reviews by the Brit, "Operation Washtub?" Any book or author that derides United States history is given five stars by this scalawag.

What more do you need to know about the character of this Ward Churchill acolyte after they state:

"The most thorough Catalogue of U.S. Atrocities & Crimes I've ever read."

well, he gave confessions of an economic hitman 3 stars (although he'd have given perkins a 1)

he also says about delcassified records back up his assertions.

Bad example. Very few people are.

Most people however are able to be a reliable source on something. While this technicaly may apply to Ward churchill I'm still waiting for an example.

Other than on a college application to qualify for a scholarship or Affirmative Action, how many biographies have you encountered where the author assumes a manufactured race and ethnicity?

Well nothing wrong with the concept. Atrocities by various nations are legitimate subjects for scholarly works.

Of course it is also generaly accepted that such books should be the product of genuine reasearch.
 
I work at UC, there was a small faction of employees who tried to support him through the trial- but he snubbed them.
He has always espoused his version of truth, the more people called him out the louder he became. Always with the same rhetoric. Louder does not make it any closer to the truth.
There was a small celebration on campus when it was learned he was NEVER going to be coming back.

There's not much point in the UK. Internationaly Monique Levy and Margaret B. Jones would be examples.

But the Brit, "Operation Washtub," seems consumed by "U.S. Atrocities & Crimes" (not U.K. or any other country's "atrocities & crimes") and appears to have zero knowledge or interest in anything else regarding the U.S. Pulling British chestnuts out the fire during WWII must also be one those U.S. atrocities.

Well U.K Atrocities & Crimes are rather harder to document in many cases. The empire was rather good at such things see? Caroline Elkins tried and look how things worked out for her.

I rather doubt that the red army could have made it across the channel.

They didn't have to. They already had NKVD agents Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Doanld Maclean, and Anthony Blunt doing their bidding in England.

But are you actually implying that the German threat to England was superficial?
