Review of 'Guns, Germs, and Steel' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Jared Diamond gave human history the scientific treatment. I would be interested in his analysis of more specific events, but the more specific he gets, the more his model breaks down. It's really a macro model. I like military history; I wonder if he could/would study war and give it a similar treatment. I bet it would be illuminating.
