This book is the culmination of 15 years of research and travels that have taken the author completely around the world twice, as well as on other travels in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and around the Pacific rim. Its purpose has been to try to understand the role of cultural differences within nations and between nations, today and over centuries of history, in shaping the economic and social fates of peoples and of whole civilizations.

Did you actually read any of his books? Conquests and Cultures was very interesting.
Thomas Sowell wrote a spectacular book in the same vein as this. http://www.amazon.com/Conquests-And-Cultures-International-H... Extraordinary amount of detail as to why war drives the rise of new civilizations.
