My Interest in all aspects of the Vietnam War is the main reason I decided to pick up this book. By the time I finished it, I learned a lot not only about Vietnam but about the eight major conflicts (冲突) the U.S. entered between the turn of the 19th century and the 1970s.

Collier’s newest book is a thought-provoking (发人深省的) look at a hot topic. Although I don’t agree with him about everything-I think his analysis is better than his recommended solutions-his background as a developed economist and a former director at the World Bank gives him a smart viewpoint on where capitalism is headed, which is detailed in the book.
