While the sections written by Connor are clear, concise, and well referenced using works not his own, the sections written by Sarkesian are lamentable. The text is perfectly clear, but his diatribes on the foundations of the American social matrix are laughable. He also uses a extensive refrences to his own works. Some of those works are now more than 30 years old and maybe out of date, out of print, or otherwise unavailable.

I do like the books ability to encapsulate the ideas it presents, and it has a non partisan presentation. I quible with any defenition of "militay professional" that includes civilians. But, they do at least define the terms they are working with.
