Title: Not completely fallacious
Review: Jared Diamond uses present day knowledge, attitudes and motivations to explain human historical acts. His knowledge and understanding of the scope of human history is as limited as looking through a telescope at the universe.He wrote the book specifically as an apology to a man he met and liked from a different culture. Armed with a little knowledge and a personal sense of shame he embarked on a journey to answer this man's question. Few real facts are correctly presented. Those few that were correctly presented are interesting but do not advance his thesis, however, they do save him from having created a completely fallacious book.
