Where then are the plethora of examples of Horowitz’ intellectual errors?

You need a lot more than a single example of deliberate or obtuse error to invalidate the Horowitz work- or anyone else fro that matter.

That list goes on forever.

After reading some of the sites Obdi linked to and a few more, it looks to me that Horowitz is the Plimer of History.

Evidence and accuracy is secondary to the political message.

And no, sloppy scholarship does not need deliberate or obtuse errors, it just needs obvious and uncorrected errors to invalidate the work.

I suspect, as an educated guess, that not one of those 101 worst professors Horowitz describes would accept the excuse Horowitz claimed, that all the errors were because of the hirelings, from any of their students, right or left leaning.

His answer to the reviews of his work is nothing but - ‘they are all so mean to me’ - even though his work is nothing more than a collection of personal attacks. Even his piece on Che Guevara was extremely short on fact and citation but long on rhetoric and appeals to emotion.
