lsatterthw 's review for:
Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
by Jared Diamond
informative
medium-paced
guns germs and steel was a good introduction into scholarly but popular history books. I think the reaction of historians being negative has soured my impression in retrospect, but I still think a lot of his thesis is solid. Reading this and then reading Charles Mann's 1491 was a really great set of books that gives a pretty comprehensive picture of pre- and then post-colonial Americas.
