### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well written, accurate, comprehensive, coherent
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2023*

This is one of the finest academic books I've read.  It is very well written so the reading flows smoothly.  The geographical, cultural, and historical facts he provides are cited and accurate.  I've studied military history and the details I know fit in nicely with what he argues.  Sowell offers a comprehensive historical account of why some people groups rise and why others fail or fall behind.What I admired about his work is that Sowell does not whitewash or hide one group's barbaric actions against another; he does denounce the brutal massacres, enslavements, tortures, and exploitations one group committed against others.  On the other hand he does not engage in excessive moral condemnations or virtue signaling against the conquerors because that is not the aim of his book.  One of his cultural conclusions could be "adapt or die."  The historical girth of mankind transcends cultures and races and it is often brutal.  Groups that adapted to and adopted superior traits or technology from other cultures sometimes rose to the top over many years while other groups that refused to change, due to pride, status, or financial reasons, fell behind.  Instead of parroting the imbecility of "all whites are racists" he delves into why certain Japanese and European cultures rose from being subservient and inferior to becoming strong and dominating cultures.I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in today's culture.

This book is excellent like Doctor Sowell's other books. This book will not disappoint readers of Thomas Sowell's. Word, word
