The book has accurate researched information but it's hard to read it through the Nationalistic rhetoric of America is the greatest gift to the world. It's mostly good until part 3 and then the patriotism is so deep it's hard to get past. I recommend parts 1 and 2 and chronology and overview as good reads. Part 3 and 4 are frustrating in their America rhetoric. By no means does that mean I think that cooperate controlled globalism is a good thing, but there is a lot of bias in these sections and speculation to motive. 

Read with caution. There are better books than this one with similar information that aren't politically tied.
