I have read the books, which did nothing to convince me of the author's point of view, but that is not the reason for removing the paragraphs.  The reason was, as stated above, that the removed paragraphs violated Wikipedia standards.  If you wish to provide a link to the books so that readers can access them, that is fine.  However, it is not fine to have material that is original research, nor is it fine to have material that includes ad hominem attacks.  This is an encyclopedia that has particular ways of doing things.  If you wish to draw attention to Scott's work, why not establish your own web pages about it?  You could do a Wiki entry about Scott himself, but remember that Wiki entries need to be neutral and factual, rather than polemical and expressing opinion.
