Not read it.. but done some searching and it does seem.. rather interesting!!
Though, I do fear that my personal views on Europe may differ from is!! I will have to hunt this out.. though it doesn't appear to be released in the UK yet..
Though.. maybe for my own sanity I shouldn't read it, as just the write ups are making me argue with the page!! *l* The line "our geographical isolation" with regards the USA makes me laugh, as I really don't consider the US geographically isolated.. yes, its isolated from Europe, but it mentions Europe later in the sentance - "and our remoteness from Europe".. It seems, from the write ups, to be a "We've been so hard done by, but we're so great" kind of book..
But maybe the I am getting totally the wrong end of the stick!!!
