I read an (awful) review of a (awful) history book by Christopher Hitchens. The man was seriously clueless about even basic international history. He talks of "Aggressive Ottoman Imperialism", talks about efforts to inspire Jihad in World War one without noting that pretty much every Muslim country on Earth was ruled by a European power one way or the other. And to think that people lionize him for fighting ignorance!
