The conservative scholar Samuel Huntington has passed away last week. He was the author of "Clash of Civilizations," the well known book all over the world. He was seventy-four years old at the death, tenured; Huntington is a mild-mannered, balding man from the political analyzers point of view.
Sri Lankan eminent author Dr. Gunadasa Amarasekara admires the book that was written by Samuel: “The clash of the civilization and remaking the world order”. Amaraseka also considered this book as a safe guard for his national thought and he may worry a lot now on this death. The other eminent professor: Nalin De Silva also was on the same track in appreciating the Huntington’s book as a master piece of the national thought.
Anyway as an influential scholar, we missed Samuel.
