1.0 out of 5 stars
Nauseating commie kissing at it's worst!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flashpoint: World War III (Hardcover)
If you're hoping for a Clancy-type technothriller or even an interesting and objective conjecture of future conflict, you're wasting your time with this book. This isn't a novel - it's a lecture on the evils of capitalism.In a nutshell, Murray blames capitalism for all the major conflicts this century, and claims that conflicts over business markets will flare up into a third world war. Every other sentence is about "imperialism", "ruling classes", and "the common masses". I don't mind authors who disagree with me, but this guy must have been channeling Lenin.

Lenin would be proud,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flashpoint: World War III (Paperback)
In this fascinating, and very relevant book, Andrew Murray has not only accurately explained the world as it is, but has also indicated the direction in which it is headed. His analysis of the decline of US hegemony, the rise of Europe(esp Germany) and Japan as well as the division of the world between the major capitalist powers and their corporations is well worth reading. Moreover, his realism concerning the possibility of war in a nuclear age is generally not found elsewhere, and neither is his appreciation of what the Soviet Union achieved in its short existence - testimony to the control of the mass media by capitalists. A rare gem, which combines some of the best Marxist and non-Marxist research concerning the world economy, and pays attention to such neglected issues as the struggle for power in Central Asia, it is a valuable read.

Andrew Murray's writing style is brilliant. This book is not only well written, it also raises some very clever and well thought out points. Murray seems to have a excellent insight into society and shares it with the reader in a captivating manner. This man is a great writer and thinker, and this book is gem.
