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