Buy Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared M. Diamond — used copy in Good condition at just ₹285. The Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of non-fiction, available pre-loved at The Chapter Room.

Why did certain civilisations conquer and colonise others, rather than the other way around? Jared Diamond's landmark answer — that geography, not race or intelligence, determined the fate of human societies — overturned conventional wisdom and reshaped how we understand history. Covering 13,000 years of human history across every continent, Guns, Germs, and Steel is one of the most important and readable non-fiction books of the last century. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

Who will love this book: History enthusiasts, anthropology students, anyone who loved Sapiens, social science readers, and anyone curious about why the world looks the way it does.
