be 'have.' I am not computer-savvy enough to do the editing, but I invite the author, or authors, to edit it themselves, after going over carefully the conventions or rules of usage. Either the authors are not native speakers of English (though they do it very well, and in no instance is the meaning lost) - or they did it too fast.

This article is great, not too long - it is called DETAIL and DEPTH. And the authors give a fair paraphrase of the book, which is not easy. But there is one small problem - verb tense, especially with the perfect tenses, difficult in English. There are numerous instances of 'had' used where it should

There is no intellectual property problem, but the article is ridiculously long and detailed. It clearly needs to be condensed and optimized. As it is, you need an enormous amount of effort and time to learn what it could impart with far less effort. I actually agree with Buchanan's arguments, and I
837:
I don't think there is any issue with intellectual property, but the synopsis is grossly inaccurate in many points and it appears to be almost a random selection of points rather than an accurate summary of Buchanan's arguments. I've started to clean it up and I'll do more as time
747:
There is probably a prima facie argument that this article is too long, but that is compounded by the fact that the summary section is so long as to possibly be cheating Mr. Buchanan of his intellectual property rights. Does anyone else see this as a concern?

Why shouldn't he have written it? The notion that the two world wars were disastrous for Britain and France is hardly new. The Suez Crisis in 1956 proved Buchanan was right. (

This is a valid point, though some reviews can be lengthy this one might be in need of a little trimming. Thing is, who is going to roll up their sleeves and do it?--

After reading the book itself, I came to this article to find it nearly as long. I'll try to condense it over the course of the next few days.
