Upheaval is an engrossing history book about how people and nations manage crises through the 12 steps of crisis management. Jared Diamond focuses on seven countries he has a personal connection with and explains the history of their major upheavals and then uses these lessons to see what lies ahead for America, Japan and the world as a whole. A must-read for curious minds interested in not only history, but the future of our pale blue dot.
