In August 2008, Threshold published Jerome Corsi's The Obama Nation, it was #4 in sales in nonfiction during the first week of its release[4] and on August 13, The New York Times reported that the book had reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover non-fiction books, due in part to higher bulk sales.[5] The book was criticized by the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee as containing factual errors consisting of smears, falsehoods, and innuendo.[6][7][8]
