I thought it was great. Some parts of the book provided detail about things I had some small knowledge of, other parts had information that was totally new to me. Now that I've read the book, the other poster's ideas about what was behind US policy post WWII - not to mention the claim that the US isn't an empire - is laughable. There's so much so many people don't know. Maybe the other poster will take the time to do some studying. I'm glad I did.
