Ahistorical

This book truly deserves a zero. Its accounting of world history are insufficient and frequently oversimplified - to the point of being a historical. For example, Northern Ireland is described as “having chosen to remain in the UK.” Given how Belfast still has walls dividing British and Irish neighborhoods, that seems like an inaccurate description of what happened. The book also very clearly has a political agenda. The US is defined as universally good, and Great Britain is conveniently good. Middle eastern countries are defined as inherently unstable. No mention of middle eastern colonization is made. The Sykes Picot agreement is never mentioned ( probably because the books authors want to make it seem like Muslim countries are by definition unstable as opposed to maybe Western Europe causing it in some part). I recommend this book if you don’t want your kids to actually know world history.
