Amazon review: Want to know what REALLY goes on in the world? One surely won't find the answers in the mainstream press. Peter Hitchens, a correspondent for the Mail on Sunday, a British newspaper, gives us a tour of the world through a series of essays that he has written over the years. One can learn about bad western influence creeping into Bhutan; one can read with anxiety about the rise of Muslim power in Turkey and the despotic rule of Prime Minister Erdogan and the depressing rule of leaders in Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. To we in the United States, these unpleasant truths about bad government are little heard about and are papered over with inane stories about Miley Cyrus or a gay man getting drafted into the NFL. Peter Hitchens, in essence, gives us a warning that all is not right in the world. A brilliant e-book. Five stars.
