Gatto teaches the use of logic which involves independent exploration and the use of critical thinking to discern reality from fallacy. Part of that journey is your self-driven investigation & weighing of the evidence from primary sources, which means that he expects you to do your own due diligence because he understands that that is part of the process of developing your mind. So to that end there is no bibliography shortcuts pre-selected and handed to you in this book, and I view it as no disservice. You must do your own due-diligence, and go out and discern the facts for yourself. With that said I have yet to find a single claim unsubstantiated, to the contrary, investigation of the claims laid out in this book have led me to see the real fallacies in the majority of what is peddled & accepted today as truth.
