Title: Embarassingly ignorant
Product review: The Foreword of this book contains a lecture about how most Westerners are ignorant of Chinese culture, which I would agree with.Ironically however, the very first paragraph of the very first chapter makes the grand statement that China is the largest nation on earth, after only Russia and the USA. Clearly the author has never heard of a little place called "Canada"!I can't fathom how a book could make it through several editions, only to make such an ignorant error in the very first sentence. If you're looking for a quality work of history, keep seeking.
