Human Rights
My big issue with this book was the blatant bias Kaplan shows towards the Reagan administrations and colonialism. Despite the obvious flaws in both, Reagan's inability to operate in any diplomatic form on the international stage, and the ills of colonialism, such as murder, systematic destruction, segregation, etc. Kaplan chooses to look past these things. In Eritrea Kaplan makes quite the hooplah over how Italians civilized the Eritreans and how grateful they are for it. Perhaps, Kaplan should read "I Didn't Do it For You" by Michela Wrong, because that book makes the perfect retort. The Italians segregated the Eritreans from their own "civilization" and took the technology with them when they left. Clearly Kaplan is missing a chunk of the story here. Also, I'm a bit skeptical that everything seemed to work so closely in conjunction with Moscow. That's the first time I've heard that view. Other than that though, this book was pretty awesome. I liked the way it attacked the Western Aid programs and punched holes in the myth of Western charity. Furthermore, I found the writing itself to flow quite well. Overall, it was a pretty good book.
