Review title: The Ugly American is alive and well
Product review: I have no problem with sarcastic wit, except when it is used to belittle the defenseless. The author seemed to take great pleasure in demonstrating his American superiority to many of the peoples he visited. If some of these people didn't meet his criteria for personal hygiene, then he should attempt to live without indoor plumbing and a fresh supply of water. I was also unimpressed with his tasteless metaphors. However, he does come close to self-examination when he compares himself to a "turd" while squeezing through a cavern in his spelunking adventure. American readers gain no insight on the peoples of the world through this book. However, the peoples of the world, having met Mr. Lansky, are reminded that the Ugly American still lives.
