Upheaval: Turning Points for Nations in Crisis by Jared Diamond

3.0

I liked this book but ultimately it was fairly shallow and too strung out. The premise that you can judge a country's ability to handle crises in the same way is intersting, but the actualy thesis I thought lacked depth. I liked the stories for each country, Diamond is a good storyteller, and while the conclusions were seemingly correct, the process was lacking for me.
