This sweeping work traces the idea of race for more than three centuries to show that “race†is not a product of science but a cultural invention that has been used variously and opportunistically since the eighteenth century. Updated throughout; the fourth edition of this renowned text includes a compelling new chapter on the health impacts of the racial worldview; as well as a thoroughly rewritten chapter that explores the election of Barack Obama and its implications for the meaning of race in America and the future of our racial ideology.

That said; if you already understand the issues and outcomes; this is an amazing look at the whys and hows from a unique and informed perspective.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. so far excellent- would like to see more on the later BundesheerBy James E.

The author clearly unfolded a substantial amount of misconceptions of the German military that the public generally recognized throughout the 20th century using massive amount of credible sources. Although the reading could be a little repetitious and broad at some point; it is still a masterpiece! Definitely one of the best history books I've read! If you are into the overall theoretical readings of military history; this is a perfect book for you.
