The guy is a disgrace to mankind. It seems to me that he has already made up his mind about the faith of the middle east without properly researching the facts. Any conscious human being with half a brain would know better, (especially a harvard professor) come to think of it.

That book is unique in scope, readability. and integrity. It's highly informative and explanatory. It's written from the point of view of an American, who is fully aware that he presents the western view on world peace, and world's conflicts: the actual and the future ones. The author's personal view as a westerner is interesting and insigthful, however the reader needs to bear in mind that it doesn't represent any official version of the present and the future. The book paints a sober and frequently troubling picture of human civilisations, in their struggle over domination. In its last part there is a cautious optimism about the possibility of peaceful resolutions of the conflicts before they becomeworld wide. The message of the author is clear and strong - a big warning before it's too late. It preaches tolerance and coexistence, The book suggests improvements in the UN and other international institutions, as well as recommendations for new policies.
Excellent book: a landmark in political scholar-popular literature, of the secoand half of the 20 century. It's undoubtly a legacy of an highly intelligent and and widely learned scholar, and a civilised, wise and caring person.

The worst book ever!! I've never read such an historical ignorant text! Not only ignorant, it is completely wrong and just not true what he is saying! And to try and divide the world into 8 cultural groups is a schoolboy error!!

Attention has to be drawn to the fact that Huntington in his view argues that Islamic and Christian cultures are contradictory and incompatible and he therefore recommends a form of political apartheit. This is directly comparable with the view of Afrikaner nationalists who built Bantustans for the same reasons-this position was completely rejected by Africans apart from the 'tribal' leaders who benefited from it. An extremely dangerous book!!!
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world.
The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
