Oct 08, 2020BookLover4fun rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
This comprehensive examination of “Turning Points for Nations in Crisis” cuts to the quick as Diamond lays out his vision of historical and current events. His decades long expertise and scientific mind bring clarity and insight, as well as compassion, to historical descriptions of Finland in 1939, Meiji Japan in 1853, Chile under Pinochet in the 1970’s, post-colonial Indonesia, rebuilding Germany after World War II, and the gradual end of white Australia in the 20th Century. Diamond continues his book with current national crises underway in Japan and the United States. This is an important book for anyone interested in understanding today’s global challenges.
