    I don't have to read it. I watched the documentary series in history last year and I wanted to read the book.

    I like The Commanding Heights better as book on globalization. But neither of them is really that much like Guns, Germs, and Steel. Jared Diamond's "Collapse" is a bit like Guns, Germs, and Steel in taking the view that geography and environment predicts history, although it does not have the same overarching view of world history.

    Good book, but I prefer the Ishmael series by Daniel Quinn. I feel like a lot of these types of books tend to miss the even larger picture, which Ishmael really highlights. It's not about white people, it's about agriculture.
