Confucius in 90 Minutes by Paul Strathern
informative
reflective
fast-paced
3.5
There are a few comparisons to Western traditions of Christianity or Greek philosophy that I thought was fair but there were also some especially paired with contrasts against "heathen/savage" cultures (he named at least the Egyptians and Mayans that I recall) that seem biased and disingenuous.
Overall, it does give a good overview and atmosphere of Confucius's life and teachings as well as the world they were formed in.
