Title: please try to keep to the facts !
Product review: While the reviews of Rouco and "James" are no reviews at all, the other two prove to me without doubt that the book must be a complete nonsense and a waste of time. Western superiority is derived not from guns and cannons, but from science and math and technology and a modernized government that made superior ships and weapons possible. To claim that the rise of the western world was made possible by gold and silver from what was to become Latin America is nonsense. Europe would have become superiour even without the Americas by its modern science and technology and government. For a proof of this read what I wrote on the book of Blaut on "Eight Eurocentric Historians" (http://www.amazon.com/Eight-Eurocentric-Historians-J-M-Blaut/dp/1572305916/ref=cm_cr-mr-title). That there are only praising votes here is explained from the fact that no serious scientist would bother to comment such a silly book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
