Summary: Seattle reviewer and the facts
Review: While I am happy the anonymous reviewer from Seattle enjoyed this book, he misstates the facts. He claimed my review had "unfounded claims of inaccuracy" I offer the following rebuttal: 1. On page 858 of the First American (Viking) Hardcover edition is found the following statement: "1969 16-21 July: Apollo 11 (USA) lands three men on the moon, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin." This is still wrong- only Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon.

2. Page 901: "Truman, President H. F." This is not the name of our former President.

3. Anonymous in Seattle is welcome to his opinion about Roberts' coverage of the internet, but I still think he largely misses the point of the impact on the World, even if it has only majorly impacted major populations in the first world nations so far.

While I have enjoyed many of J. M. Roberts books. This was a sloppy effort and not worth most readers time or money. In addition the quality of the printing of my copy was terrible.
