Guns germs and steel... Almost. This isn't a bad book, it is full of interesting information, but it tries too hard and doesn't flow very well. Early in the book Niall mentions guns germs and steel and tells how this book is going to go into details overlooked and ignored in that book... Ok, I can respect that, but instead it seems like the entire book is trying not to cover the same topics more than it is trying to paint an accurate picture. Further, the book starts out very strong and I throughly enjoyed the first few chapters, but eventually it seems like much of the rest of the world begins to be ignored and descriptions are no longer about how the west succeeded over the "rest", it is just about how the west succeeded. Lastly the book doesn't seem to have focus within each chapter. Niall does a great job setting chapters up, but quickly seems to go off on tangents that don't seem to be relevant to the topic at hand. As I said, it is a good book, and it is full of interesting information, but it could be better focused and more to the point. I would say if you haven't read guns germs and steel, read that first for sure, this is a decent follow up.

Average. I am a big fan of Niall so I am pretty disappointed. There is a lot of information, which is great, but it gets to the point where you forget what the chapter is about and fail to connect the relevance of what is being said to the chapter. I am struggling to finish. Also, the accents are so very bad, it really sounds like they having people impersonating someone else with a fake accent whenever they quote someone.
