Guns, Germs, and Steel. It’s about tracing the history of why Europeans came to invade/decimate the Native Americans, and not the other way around. It’s kind of fascinating to see how geography has such a role in the rise and fall of nations, and helps to counter many racist views of history. (Ex. Europeans are genetically smarter and therefore prevailed)
