Title: Very interesting and well researched work
Review: I found this book to be highly interesting, historically accurate, and filled with critical analysis. The author backs up his claims with strong arguments which are well researched. He lays out the content of the book in a logical form starting with the clash of two civilizations: The Inca Empire and The Spanish conquistadores in Cajamarca, Peru. This historical episode, though placed at the beginning of the book, is shown to be the logical culmination of 11,000 years of evolution of human societies. The different rates of societal evolution form the basis of this work and are examined to reveal a few causal relationships which the author proposes account for the inevitable outcome symbolized by the massacre in Cajamarca. Suffice it to say that I found this book so interesting that I've gone on to another work by the same author: 'Collapse'.
