Title: How to mix the obvious with preset speculation
Review: Not bad, but not real impressive. There is some real good work in there, but his "start" at 11K BC is a little silly. I've seen actually professional historians do the same kind of work with footnotes and all by simply starting a mere 500 years ago, Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of Great Powers. Like many politically correct people, he indulges in reverse racism that seems to down "whitey", but actually ends up slapping down the "coloreds".He gets the second star because at least he doesn't get into that "BCE" garbage.
Is the review positive or negative?
