American Heritage has always been a popular, entertaining source of history which I've enjoyed for years. It's also slick and to my knowledge has no published references. I liken it to People magazine and apparently I'm not alone. The best critiques from armchair historians are found in the letters to the editor, such as:
"...hundreds of those readers can still be reliably counted on to write in arguing about the true causes of the Civil War or, as happened recently, to point out that the author of a World War II article doesn’t know the difference between the M-1 rifle and the M-16, which didn’t come in until Vietnam."
