Guns Germs and Steel. I remember feeling, after I read it, that I saw things differently. But now the ideas presented in it seem the most natural things in the world, and I can't imagine I ever thought otherwise. Or maybe I had the same views before but not historical foundations for them.. I can hardly remember now.
- It’s a book that historians scoff at. It’s all narrative and no science apart from few cherry picked examples.
  
  “Our Fake History” has an episode on it, and as a topic it’s spot on for that show.
