Talk:Odd Arne Westad

Hagiography
Mr. Westad's Wikipedia entry was clearly written by himself. He is one of those people who self-promote themselves, and step on the toes of many people around them to get ahead professionally. Mr. Westad managed to slip in as co-author, beginning with the 5th edition, of the famous world history book by J. M. Roberts. When we compare recent editions to those of Roberts alone, we observe "additions" or "modifications" which are degradations. In the 6th edition of 2014, Mr Westad's summary at the beginning of Part VIII, devoted to the contemporary world, of Roberts' history is stunningly poor, and would get a D at any college. 83.201.237.129 (talk) 00:39, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
