This review of the history is a departure with more emphasis on key events and players and less on detail. It also incorporates the Asian past that is missing from many European-centered histories. Keating has published twenty books during his fifty-year career as an executive of a multinational company. His eclectic writing pursuits include science, frontier history, religion, music, and economics, bringing this broad perspective into his take on history. | My Take on the Past by Bernie Keating, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
