Title: Another attempt at "Scholarship" by a Western "scholar"
Review: Any teenager can nowadays look up the history and geography of a country online, as well as its natural resources. From this excerpt: "India is a country almost entirely devoid of natural resources.....", it seems that Sir Friedman forgot to look up Indian geography.It is a shame that Western scholars write whatever they want to, WITHOUT EVER CARING TO CHECK THEIR FACTS, especially on Asian and African countries.It becomes VERY hard to believe anything he says in this or any other book after such "facts" are casually thrown at the reader.I shudder to think that this is where the American public learns about the rest of the world.
Is the review positive or negative?
