Author and Publication
The book's author, Jerome Corsi, has written on a number of controversial topics. In 2007 he wrote a book exposing a supposed plot to replace the United States dollar with international currency. He has accused a "Muslim terrorist group" of supporting John McCain, and has called for the impeachment of George W. Bush." He endorsed the 9/11 Truth Movement, which questions official and mainstream accounts of the September 11, 2001 attacks. During the 2004 United States presidential election, he co-wrote Unfit for Command, a book associated with Swift Vets and POWs for Truth that was critical of Democratic candidate John Kerry. He is a regular contributor at conservative internet publication WorldNetDaily, which is well-known for publicizing conspiracy theories about Obama's citizenship.
The book was published by Threshold Editions, a division of CBS-owned Simon & Schuster, whose chief editor is Republican party political strategist Mary Matalin. The title is intentionally assonant with abomination.
Corsi was detained by Kenyan immigration officials and then deported for attempting to promote the book without a work permit.

Famous quotes containing the words author and/or publication:
“The author of these words,
Whose lifelong unconcern
Has been with flocks and herds
For what they didn’t earn.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
