Jared Diamond's book "Guns, Germs, and Steel". While not dealing with the Book of Mormon at all, it is a double-edged sword dealing the death blow to Book of Mormon historicity:
http://www.mormonism101.com/2015/05/book-guns-germs-steel-jared-diamond.htmlBook of Mormon historicity is not just about what IS in the Book of Mormon but SHOULDN'T but also about what SHOULD be in it but ISN'T. The Book of Mormon as a true story in a pre-Columbian American setting simply does not rise above the level of a crackpot theory and, as history, can be legitimately dismissed prima facie.
Or as Bob McCue, another exmo oldtimer, once put it: asking a scientist to debunk the BoM would be equivalent to asking her to debunk the notion of a flat earth.
Been there, done that, not worth the time and effort.
