This is a fascinating book of political, background information. In a world that gets more convoluted every day, that is continually changing and expanding politics Potter covers the background everyone should know. From Iraq to Dafur and China it examines the history, people and events that has led up to current affairs.
This book is laid out in short sections to be able to share the massive amount of information in easy to digest pieces. He is able to cover an incredible array of subjects that all people should know, but probably do not. He gives the background to the stories we watch on the news and read about in our newspapers. A strength of this book is that it can be read, then returned to again and again. Potter does an admirable job of sharing very complicated, involved situations in an easy to understand way without dumbing it down at all. He walks this tightrope with finesse, it is not a simple task.
Some of the information is actually Potter's personal opinion, albeit backed up with factual information. Subjects such as "Was Saddam's Trial illegal?" or "Is Bush actually stupid?" are interspersed with more concrete events. Potter portrays himself as an expert in everything from world history to US policy to interpreting environmental reports of the effects of disposable diapers. It is a large role to play but Potter seems to be able to back up his writing with facts and figures. Readers should enjoy the information while realizing even history is told through the eyes of the historian.
