Matt Lehrer reviewed Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond

Very convincing, possibly misleading

4 stars

I understand the historian perspective on this book is very negative but I thoroughly enjoyed and was convinced by it at the time

Review of 'Guns, germs, and steel' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A fascinating look at why the world is like it is today, why the powers-that-be are the powers that be, and why some societies are still stuck in the stone age. Very thorough and well-researched, a fascinating read.
