This is definitely one of the best and most informative and useful non-fiction books I've read this year. It is a life raft for anyone who finds themselves floundering amidst a sea of ten-second soundbites, wishing they had a better grasp of complexities of world politics and global issues. Clear, concise language sets the record straight on a diverse range of topics as Lawrence Potter presents answers to fifty-seven questions about the world we live in, stretching from What is jihad? to is fair trade a good thing? and Is there still a war in Chechnya?
