Before offering a critical analysis of a book, a reviewer should primarily have:

While knowing the author's reasons for writing (A) can provide context, and awareness of external factors such as human rights challenges (B) or the political framework (D) may enrich the analysis, the core requirement is a deep understanding of what the book actually presents.
