From what little I read of this book, the author takes the view that David's "reign" over Israel was a very brief and unsubstantial episode in the history of that nation. The historical citations paint a picture of a very minor king over a very minor kingdom; very different from the biblical testimony and that of what I understand to be the majority view of the history of Israel.
