A number of years ago, there was a scandal about historian Michael A. Bellesiles’s book Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture. Bellesisles got the Bancroft Prize for this book, but then it was revealed that he had faked a lot of his evidence, so he lost his prize and his academic credibility.
It turns out that Bellesisles is back and has a new book coming out. See here and here.
