عندما يكون موضوع الكتاب دولة تعادل مساحتها مساحة أوروبا، وعدد إثنياتها ٥٦ إثنية، ويرجع تاريخها إلى ٨٠٠٠ عام، فلا يمكن لكتاب واحد أن يوجز تاريخها
كتاب جيد، لكنه عاطفي نوعا ما، ومغرق في ذكر الأسماء التي لا تفيد القارئ لعدم قدرته على تذكرها
كما يبدو أن الكاتب يعاني من عقدة الغرب، إذ يكثر من المقارنة مع الحضارة الغربية لداع ولغير داعٍ

I definitely give this book a solid "okay", if only because it reads like a travel brochure. Also it would have been helpful to have had maps.
