(0)Dislikes(0)This magnificent contribution to political science requires critical review, because its wide scope of problems raised and the global distribution of The Clash of
Civilizations by Samuel P. Huntington makes the book a powerful piece of ideology. Its every paragraph could influence the way of thinking around the world. Therefore, one should pay closer
attention to mistakes, which the author, willingly or unwillingly, made in the edition, published by The Free Press in 2002.
