No it was just an anthology of papers by a reasonably well-known academic.
The problem is more that instead of reasoning and realizing it didn’t actually know about the book, it just looked up a description of the author and then invented what this book was supposedly about based on the title.
A more intelligent reply would have been something like, “the author appears to be an academic in international relations, but I cannot find this exact book title.” Instead it just repeatedly gave me fake answers.
