Upheaval: How Nations Cope With Crisis And Change Paperback Book by Jared Diamond

From 'the master storyteller of the human race' (Daily Mail), discover a brilliant new theory of how and why some nations recover from trauma and others don't. Author Jared Diamond shows us how seven countries have survived defining upheavals in the recent past - from the forced opening up of Japan and the Soviet invasion of Finland to the Pinochet regime in Chile - through selective change, a process of painful self-appraisal and adaptation more commonly associated with personal trauma. Looking ahead to the future, he investigates whether the United States, and the world, are squandering their natural advantages and are on a devastating path towards catastrophe. Is this fate inevitable? Or can we still learn from the lessons of the past?
