Regarding Citino's work being "politicized"

edit

One sentence of criticism of Citino's work has been added to this page, and it is not very effectively integrated into the overall article. Also the source is not very reliable, from the "New York Journal of Books," which has a stock wordpress page for their website (it's an online only publication), and a very small following on social media/general web presence. The author of the book review from which this criticism stems is not provided on website. The review is very polemical, and takes a few quotes from Citino out of context and then rails against him for some perceived politicization. It doesn't strike me as a review from a professional historian, or expert in the field, but again it's impossible to say because no author's name is given. I'm going to remove the sentence for now, I think having a section on criticism and scholarly appraisal of Citino's work would be valuable, but it needs better sourcing than a glorified blog.
