Author of the landmark international bestsellers *Guns, Germs and Steel* and *Collapse*, Jared Diamond has transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now, at a time when crises are erupting around the world, he explores what makes certain nations resilient and reveals the factors that influence how nations and individuals can respond to enormous challenges. In a riveting journey into the recent past, he traces how six distinctive modern nations—Finland, Chile, Indonesia, Japan, Germany and Australia—have survived defining catastrophes and identifies patterns in their recovery.
Looking ahead, Diamond investigates the risk that the United States and other countries, faced by grave threats, are set on a course toward catastrophe. Adding a rich psychological dimension to the in‑depth history, geography, biology and anthropology that underpin all of his writing, *Upheaval* is epic in scope yet also his most personal book yet.
