Before I begin the review, I will state few important items:A. This review has nothing to do with , because if I desired, would gladly take the item back, return the money or give me a gift card. I have been an shopper, reviewer and associate since started. Through the years, went out of her way to satisfy me.B. What makes me qualified to write this review is the fact that I am a historian, geographer, researcher, professor, journalist and an author.C. This review is not opinion but facts. I am not subjective here, but pure objective.Now let’s roll:I have pre ordered this book and waited for a year to get it. After reading it, the only reason that I kept this book is to show my students and disciples, what a “Liberal Biased Atlas” looks like!This Atlas unlike many other Atlases which I have reviewed (read my other reviews) is for most not factual based but author’s opinion. I can state many flaws of this Atlas but due to lack of space, I will only state a few:I. Author has intentionally revised the famous, historically known and globally accepted name of the 2500 years old body of water from “Persian Gulf” to “The Gulf” in all his maps except one small one! This shows Anti Persian (Iranian) sentiment of the author and indeed pandering to the oil rich Arab Muslims via revising the global history and geography.II. The complete book’s text and historical timelines are clearly Anti Semitic. Jews are portrayed as agitators and oppressors, but then Arab Muslims are portrayed as innocent victims. For most, Islamist terrorism throughout the history has been justified by the author.
