Great chapters on Sahel and Ethiopia. I thought he would not predict the major Russian move into the AES but he mentioned its possibility. Very interested for the Spain chapter.

Greece and Turkey chapters were great, the history sections were more concise, but some funny pronunciations of Selyuk and Rohava. Great idea to include the Sahel

I still tire of the lengthy pre-20th century history sections - pls try to be less stereotypical, flippant and witty and more accurate if you are going to bother.
P.S. forgot to mention previously how he kept calling Sayyid Qutb "Kupt" in the previous chapters.

I would prefer more contemporary history and less of the sweeping summary generalisations but I understand their importance for context. Marshall is obviously a veteran journalist and not an academic and thinks he's quite witty, which he can be. Certainly enjoying it mostly.
