Conquest and Culture: An International History, by Thomas Sowell (Basic, 512 pp., $35)

THIS book, as the author frequently reminds us, is the third of a trilogy, dedicated to discussing the importance of cultural transfer in the making of the world as it is today. The earlier volumes discussed race and migration. This final one discusses conquest as a means of cultural transmission.
