A very disappointing book. Endless pages discussing the ideas of authors from the period of the Great Game in Central Asia, and whose relevance is somewhat doubtful these days.
Gross over generalizations and platitudes on countries and international relations without any attempt to justify or support the ideas. Too much of the "as everyone knows" kind of thing, to which you think "Oh really?"
I gave up when his vague generalizations began to contradict each other to the point where you felt he was saying nothing.
He needs a better editor...
