The author of "The Idiot's Guide to Love and War" has been accused of being a misogynist. The author of the novel "The Art of War" says he is not a racist, just a man who wanted to make a point.
He says he was inspired by the work of the great American poet, William Blake, who wrote in the 19th century. The writer says he wanted to show the power of the American people to change the world, not the other way around.
