Almost succeeded great intellectual gap

The book "50 myths about the state of the world" is attractive in form. From 50 frequent statements on international issues for dismantling and lighten in 2 pages is a process that works quite well with the busy reader.
Quickly read, read, this book "catalog" of Pascal Boniface brings interesting ideas on issues. For example, the Kuwait War as indicative of the end of the Cold War rather than the fall of the Berlin Wall.
By cons, on other issues, comments are a bit simplistic and short statements.
In the end, it seems that it sometimes lacks a source document as a map, a speech or a poster to reinforce the point.
