Negative Positive
Title: A cowboy's view of China
Review: The sheer number of reviews should alert the potential reader that there is something seriously wrong with this book.In it, Jack Ryan changes from an expert in foreign affairs, to a bumbling xenophobic fool, who through his negligent refusal to so much as listen to advice on basic psychology or intercultural relationships, manages to bring the world to the brink of nuclear war.The first 800 pages of the book are a litany of the most disgusting racial vilification that I have ever read, diluted with a mixture of nauseating self-righteous hypocrisy and calls to arm primary school children.Mr Clancy manages to demonstrate a staggering ignorance of China, its people, culture, language, history, and even geography. The linguistic errors, at least, are somewhat understandable. He would have been too ashamed to ask a native speaker to proof-read the manuscript.
