It has several errors. But the main point is that if you, the author, don't like it, then don't write it.. You normally research your topic, identify your main thesis and decide on your main points, all before you try to write your introduction.

We need to know whether you want to say that the argument started immediately after the publication of this book or that the argument has been going on since the publication of the book. Do you wish to imply that the publication started the argument? Do you really want to say argue, or would debate or discuss be more suitable?

My information tells me that the book was the first bit of information about the subject, so I guess it started the debate in which people argued their point of view?
An argument occurs within a debate, right? Is this OK?
