A review by ellabsimpson
Civilization: The West and the Rest, by Niall Ferguson
informative
medium-paced
2.5
Engagingly written and the early chapters on China are convincing and consistent with other histories I've read of that period, but the treatment of Africa in Chapter 2 is full of holes and easily-debunked colonial apologism and undermined my confidence in the rest of the book's arguments.
