[ WP ] The History textbooks you ordered finally arrive in the mail . However , you notice an error - these are the wrong edition . Instead of the 2014 Edition , you received the 2024 Edition . The last few chapters appear to be accurate .

The package, in it's brown covering and all, had on it's cover the standard globe of the world. The 2014 Edition, being written largely by European and Asian scholars and edited others had Africa showing. 
 
 
 Except, it was n't Africa. It was Asian, China at the center of the book. 
 
 
 *Huh. I suppose I'll send this back to Amazon. I'll check my order to see whether I ordered the right book. That's odd. I did. * 
 
 
 
 I looked back at the book. *Well. Must be the right one. I'll check whether this has the correct content. * 
 
 
 I flipped to the middle of book. It read: 
 
 
 `` Chapter 13: Collectivization and Economic Socialism in China 
 
 This chapter will cover the origins of China's re-emergence into Communist ideology. While the 2008 financial disaster spread to Europe, America and many parts of Asia, China stood strong. Reversing the role of the exploiters and exploited, China began influencing countries by providing investment into infrastructure, extracting rare earth minerals from countries with natural endowments and began building up a social network to replace Western institutions.'' 
 
 
 *Well. This is new. I'm sure I'll have fun learn about Mao again. Although this is slightly odd, since that there has n't been much news about the acquisitions from China... * 
 
 
 I flipped to a later chapter. It read: 
 
 `` Chapter 20: Rise of the Asian Alliances. 
 
 
 This chapter will explore the motivations for NATO's intervention in Eastern Europe and how the revolutions of Ukraine, Armenia, and Greece influenced the Re-Unification of the Korean Peninsula. In addition, the beginning alliance between China and Vietnam will be discussed thoroughly alongside the military developments in Russia.'' 
 
 
 *Okay... this is obviously not the right book... * But I could n't turn away. I turned to the last chapter. It read: 
 
 
 `` Chapter 25: Taiwanese Integration: The Rise of the Middle Kingdom 
 
 This chapter will explore the difficulties that the NATO nations had in recovering from the land war in Russia as well as explain the rationale for China's military strikes against Japan.'' 
 
 
... This was clearly the wrong book. I turned to the beginning of the textbook to see what edition the book was and which scholars had written it. It only said, it large bold letters: 
 
 
 **LONG LIVE THE GLORIOUS CHAIRMAN MAO. ** 
 
 **毛泽东万岁!!! ** 
 **毛泽东万岁!!! ** 
 **毛泽东万岁!!! **
