Thus, the author may NOT have introduced them. It could be Amazon just linking to Wikipedia and other widely available sources (DOD, Sratfor etc.) after the author submitted the book to Amazon for publication. Maybe the authors mark the key words and Amazon Publishing just provides the links.
I mostly read histories and biographies, but to date I've never bought a book from Amazon with X-Ray activated. Not that it would matter as I always modify my books for darker fonts and that turns them into Personal Documents, which I don't think support X-Ray.
