Okay, you sold me...I just bought the book! Yet, as I did I couldn't help but be proud as an American that books like this are not just written here, and accepted here, but celebrated here as well.

18th Century Colonialism had to be propped up much like the French in Vietnam, following WWII, so the actions by the CIA, and other Intel agencies that perpetuate todays distrust of the West globally are deeply rooted in unrestricted Capitalism and the growth of extremism. Now China is moving in with their 19th Century leverage play perpetuating more distrust of outsiders. International-Capitalism, theologic terrorism, and extreme Ideology have almost zero accountability, and are repeating the last millennial. So Africa will be the next global conflict zone.
