I only ordered Baker's Bush book last week, and have only been reading some of DiEugenio's online articles for the first time just today, but fortunately for us all I don't let a lack of knowledge stop me from making a comment when the fancy takes me.
Jim (with Seamus Coogan) criticises people like John Hankey, and Alex Jones, for simplifying things to the point that the simplifications themselves become a source of disinformation, and that, at a guess, would be what makes him hypercritical of Baker's book.
I don't know Baker's work, but with Hankey and Jones, the criticism is obviously fair.
