I loved this book for its very objective take on many subjective matters. It's mind-boggling to think that history, of all things can be a subjective topic. It's even scary when you put it in plain words. In this book author tries hard not to take a side and succeeds in it without making the reader alienated or confused. I don't agree with certain points in this book, but it thankfully leaves enough space for the reader to think over independently and come to his own conclusions.
The book has a structure that's hurried and never lingers on any point for a long time. It's good because it has enough content to fill volumes if elaborated. It skims the surface of the topics it covers and leaves an invite to the interested reader to research in depth about the topics that interest him.
