Here is contrasting view of the book: http://www.amazon.com/review/RCGISEFI8JYUF/ref=cm_cr_rdp_per...

Reviewing guy is Russian, so there may be some patriotism at play.

The funny thing is that the review makes me want to read the book much more than the linked article. The reviewer may disagree with the author but at least the review lets the author's ideas come through. The linked article is just badly written. I wish someone had linked the review instead.

That reads like a highly un-objective view of the book, not trying to dissuade people from reading it though - I think it's a nice perspective

It's not really a review of the book; it's a display of disapproval of America's recent foreign policy.

Basically some guy used the dubious "platform" of an Amazon book review to announce that he doesn't like the way the US government acts.
