Never mind the naysayers about the "questionable" content of the book. What good is learning without questioning? While the editing does make it a hard read, the writer does explain in the beginning why he published the book earlier than he expected. I encourage you to digest the contents and use as many historical and religious references for corroboration. It is said that history is written by the victor and undoubtedly the author has tweaked the nerves of a few people. This is history like most people taking an African history class has never seen it. Be open-minded and don't take this as a license to see one race as superior to another.
