I'm not familiar with that particular manuscript, nor have I purchased it. But I will say as a peer reviewer, any manuscript with biased wording or a title or abstract that has strong advocacy-focused language (as this one does) would be reviewed critically by me, as my experience with such papers leads me to think it's very likely the manuscript is not an objective analysis, but instead either an advocacy position or a sales pitch. Once an author is identified with a strong advocacy position, their objective credibility is permanently affected. Unfortunately, many research review committees have been taken over by advocates from particular viewpoints, with committees becoming monocultures of groupthink and systematic removal of experts with differing opinions - all in an effort to "improve consensus".
