Don't believe in islamics., February 18, 2006
This review is from: 100 Wars That Shaped World History (Paperback)
Don't believe in islamics.Some islamics wrote bad critics about this book.As ever happens, they are buffoons,liars and ridiculous.They claims that this book is against his religion.This could be right, but many other things are against islamic religion.One of then is the American Constituition, who to example, gives free religion, free speach, woman's rights,etc.All of then are, against Islam.If you don't know, 100% of the about 55 countries in the world, with Sharia's law are third world countries.
I read all this book, here in Brazil, in a translation to portuguese.It's cheap, concise and easy to read.At this side, there's problems with this book.At first it lies about Paraguay's war, claiming that Paraguay was a industrial power at that time.A ridiculous lie, first created by Eduardo Galeano, a fanatic marxist, from Uruguay.About 5 wars weren't to stay in this book, because they didn't had enough importance.The book is cheap, concise, but has some failures.

Errors in account on Genghis Khan, May 10, 2009
This review is from: 100 Wars That Shaped World History (Paperback)
On page 33 of #26 "Conquests of Genghis Khan 1206-1227" third paragraph down it says that "He [Genghis Khan] pursued the heir of Shah Muhammad, Prince Jalal ad-Din northward into Russia, won a major battle against the Russian princes in 1223, and then returned to Mongolia," is in error. Jalal ad-Din was pursued to the Indus River where he escaped southward into India. Genghis Khan did not go into India. He did not go into Russia either but sent two of his generals, Chepe Noyon and Subotai, after the fleeing Shah Muhammad, who was slain, and afterwards these genarals entered Russia and battled the Russian princes.
