This feels like a slightly polished transcript of a one-sided conversation McMurtry could have had with an adoring fan. He makes his main point in the first few pages and seems to lose interest and momentum from there. His coverage of the actual massacres is incredibly superficial. It lacks basic details that are available in any number of books. To top it all off, while he seems too busy to research basic facts, he does manage to work George Bush and Guantanamo Bay into the book at least three times which makes it feel even less focused and worth while. One of the most vacuous books I've ever come across.
