I'm glad to be the first one to add this book to the Goodreads database. It was written in 1962 and I bought it at a used bookstore that closed down. I am majoring in Business and minoring in Political Science and this book helped me gain information that is quite helpful in different ways.
First off, it was written at a nice time. A time where a lot of the bad guys in this world still didn't win, a time where many good guys in the world were still alive. Che Guevara, although misunderstood slightly in the book, was still alive. Nasser of Egypt was alive and well. John F. Kennedy, one of the cleanest presidents of the U.S. (my opinion) , was also still alive and happily in service of his country. The book, although tries to appeal more to Christian readers, not that it's too different from Islam, is also a reminder of the religious values and family values that existed at the time and that the people now have forgotten.
What's also nice about reading opinionated, and at the same time factual books, is that it gives the reader an insight of how minds at the time thought. It shows you the facts at hand, while you have the advantage of knowing what already has occurred. "Googling" how people thought at a certain time would never be the same as reading words that they themselves have written while living it.
Overall, a good read.
