I really liked this book and this author. He is fair and honest and scrupulously documents his stuff.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia is starting to dissapoint me.
The article on the Korean War is just one example. Someone had gone to a lot of effort using some good writing to go into details about various events and battles including the Chinese perspective in a fair and balanced way which induced me to go get some books on the war and read them in parallel.
I checked back last week for a map I liked and the original article had been edited into a barely comprehensible mish-mash with the fine writing gone and some kooky gibberish about massacres.
I've started looking at the edit pages and it looks like a lot of revision is going on not only on the Korean War but on classic novels and other historical events. Wikipedia should hire some subject matter experts to vet edits.
