Summary: Are they serious?
Comment: This is the worst text I have used in any class in all of my years of learning. When reading through pages and pages of endless propaganda, blatant racism, and American-centralized pseudo-IR, one finds oneself screaming at both the authors and the teacher who chose to use this text. With sentences such as, "Hmm, this looks like a job for Accounting man!" and "...three decades in power is bound to make any rule a little funny" combined with the generally bad practice of using "us" and "we" when referring to the United States, this text makes the read wonder if the authors are writing a text for 4th grade or 12th grade. One plus is the use of concrete examples throughout to support the major points; however, when incident after incident of terrorism is strung together in a single paragraph, the reader starts to loose track of the point Mr.'s Roskin and Berry are trying to prove. A perfect example of the wandering minds of the authors is in the chapter entitled "Terrorism" where the authors proceed to group and blindly psychoanalyze all terrorists without consideration of the individual reasons for their resorting to terrorism. Pervading the middle pages of this text is an anti-Islam racism reminiscent of the initial accusations following the Oklahoma City bombing. I wonder what else the publishers at Prentice Hall were offered at the time they accepted to print The New World of International Relations. If you are forced to read this book, I pity you; if you are deciding whether to read this book or use it to teach, I discourage you; if you wrote this book, I curse you.
