In his earlier bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now, in the final book in this monumental trilogy, he reveals how successful nations recover from crisis through selective change — a coping mechanism more commonly associated with personal trauma.
In a dazzling comparative study, Diamond shows us how seven countries have survived defining upheavals in the recent past — from US Commodore Perry’s arrival in Japan to the Soviet invasion of Finland to Pinochet’s regime in Chile — through a process of painful self-appraisal and adaptation, and he identifies patterns in the way that these distinct nations recovered from calamity. Looking ahead to the future, he investigates whether the United States, and the world, are squandering their natural advantages, on a path towards political conflict and decline. Or can we still learn from the lessons of the past?
Adding a psychological dimension to the awe-inspiring grasp of history, geography, economics, and anthropology that marks all Diamond’s work, Upheaval reveals how both nations and individuals can become more resilient. The result is a book that is epic, urgent, and groundbreaking.

few insights
评分Interesting angles and analogies in reviewing the 7 selected countries, although no dedicated chapter to China (as it’s not one of the seven) it’s inevitably everywhere... Pleased and relieved with his unbiased attitude condemning Japan’s irresponsibility of denying its crimes in WWII. BTW another book using The Great Wave off Kanagawa???? as cover.

评分优秀民科
评分非常应景的一本书。一位80+睿智老者，结合自身经历、见闻和研究，娓娓道来国家应如何应对危机。开篇以如何处理个人危机为例，讲了危机处理的几个步骤，很重要的一个点是：确立危机的边界。不要一个方面出现问题，误以为全线崩溃。接着以作者孰知/会当地语言的六国近代史为例，各个国家又是如何从国家角度化解危机。比较熟悉的日本明治维新，不常读到的芬兰、智利、印尼三国的近现代史令人耳目一新。以及德国的自我审判、自我反思也很有意思，包括他们六十年代不成功的学生运动成功推动了原本爹气十足的社会民主开明化。最后分析美国优势和存在问题，如政治两极化，预测其、日本和世界未来的危机会出现在哪里。还涉及到“伟人”能从多大程度影响历史进程。未来的世界危机，除了常见的议题能源短缺、气候变化、核危机、不平等...还有：传染病
