“Worlds at War”?

See a review by Yale Professor Amy Chua of a new book by Anthony Pagden, Worlds at War: The 2,500 Year struggle Between East and West in today’s New York Times Book Review.  She notes that the book is more likely to appeal to fans of Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” thesis than to fans of Edward Said’s thesis on “orientalism.” 

What do you think?
