Negative Positive
Title: Polemic instead of history
Review: Long ago academic historians were supposed to be objective, but rigorous methodology and balanced analysis apparently have been abandoned to partisanship and show-boating. Certainly rigor and fairness seem to be forgotten in this slanted account of Middle Eastern history. Khalidi is not a bad writer, but he is not a good historian in my humble opinion.
Is the review positive or negative?
