RE: Primary source versus recycled information
It really depends on what the author is trying to do. If he/she presents the work as "new" or a challenge to previously held thought then it must be mainly primary material. However, if it is just a synthesis (like BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM) which is presented as such, the most relevant secondary material along with published primary material would suffice.

I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
