Title: Just a reprint of old study combined with political slant
Product review: I ordered this based on a quick view of the description. Unfortunately the book is merely a republishing of a decades-old study on prisoner treatment combined with some new chapters where the author takes the opportunity to vent his political spleen in areas he's otherwise unqualified for. I won't bother you with details, but let it suffice that in a table of heroes at the end of the book, he lists "The prophet Mohammed" as a social "hero". (a definition at best debatable in what is supposed to be a scientific study). He also mostly uses liberal icons for examples of heroes, including many others who are definitely non-heroic to anyone who does not share his political bent.The book is a rip-off as it's already been published. It's like reading what you think is a new book by Mark Twain only to find out it's really just Tom Sawyer with Twain's political philosophies tacked on at the end.
