Upheaval: Turning Points for Nations in Crisis by Jared Diamond
3.0
Gives a fascinating perspective on a new way to look at countries. Felt a bit funny in the start as though countries are to undergo some sort of psychological therapy of sorts, but it did render some interesting perspectives to the evolution stories of different countries.
The stories of post-war Germany and Post-Perry-visit Japan was most interesting, along with Finland’s independent unique choices. Having said all of this, this is a narrative historical analysis and are through the eyes of an American. So, am not sure if the narratives are unbiased. Worth a read, but would take it with a pinch of salt and reservations.
