You should be able to find it online.

I actually am one of the few people in these conversations who have read a couple of his books. A Little Matter of Genocide and Pacifism as Pathology. The first is about the elimination of American Indians from Columbus forward. The second is about peace movements and he takes the side that they aren’t effective,because they follow the rules of the government that are the cause the issues being protested. Don’t agree with the guy,hate that he’s been found to be a fraud about some stuff,but don’t think he totally deserves to be entirely written off over one essay that most people have never read.(edit to add:) I actually have 2 more of his books,Kill the Indian Save the Man about the horrific institution of religious based Reservation Schools and the one with the same name as the essay called On the Justice of Roosting Chickens. The latter is more about the wisdom of our military scope and involvement world wide than it is anything else. Again,don’t agree with the guy about alot,but not all of his points are invalid just because he was a dick about 9/11.

Should a college professor be fired because of their political opinions,as long as they do the job they were hired to do and aren’t steering their students away from factual information?
