Title: Its more fiction than history
Review: A disappointing book. Like many Eurocentric historians who simply have to credit the Greeks with every great invention, regardless if they really are responsible for it or not, this book appears to have been written with an agenda of stealing the discovery (or invention)of Zero away from Indians and somehow thrust it on the Greeks. It appears that the author has worked a great deal more on his conclusions than his arguments. He gives no reliable references from the experts in the field to support the argument and mostly overlooks those who oppose his view. The book does not even care to give a bibliography which is required in any serious research document. Not worth the price if you are looking for an authentic work on the history of zero.
