In my (educated) opinion, this author writes fiction, not history. DOR (HK) ( talk) 08:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. I purchased "The Yamato Dynasty" because it read "HISTORY" on the back cover. Although fascinating, the author & publisher would be more responsible by labelling it "HISTORICAL FICTION". What a shame. (I'm also educated/ experienced/ degree in Japanese History) Smithsensei ( talk) 18:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
His work reads more like tabloid journalism than actual history. His book "The Marcos Dynasty" is heavy on conjecture and idle speculation and light on facts. As far as I know, most historians believe "Yamashita's gold" to be a legend, but he treats it like gospel. Josh ( talk) 02:44, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
