In THE definitive book about Orson Welles, Peter Bogdanovich's book "This is Orson Welles" (edited by Welles himself), Bogdanovich includes an appendix with a point-by-point factual refutation of Kael's central hypothesis in Raising Kane.
There are things to argue with in Raising Kane but it's filled with brilliant criticism and the reaction against it was way overdone and led by Welles' cronies. People still get mad about it on twitter!
