Query: One simple question...

I am wondering how seriously we should take a book in which the author quotes himself, and even worse, his senior thesis? Goldhagen isn't even a historian, which is plain to anyone who has any training in the field. Yet he is teaching at Harvard as I write this review. Does anyone doubt the politics behind this decision? He obviously hasn't proven any scholarly merit for such a posting.
