Review title: The McWeeniazation of Central Asia
Product review: I lived in Central Asia, both as a student and a soldier.Judging by this book, Tom Bissell lived in the United States and wrote this book based on his experiences reading Travel Planet guides in Starbucks.The book is written in a condescending tone, and when it is not merely condescending, it is dehumanizing towards the native population.How many people did Tom actually befriend? How many women did he date? How many Central Asians did he share a laugh or a smoke with? From the tenor, tone, and content of this book, apparently none.[...]Life is not a creative writing workshop assignment. As Hemingway said, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for."
