The historical non-fiction book I chose to read was Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, which was written by Jared Diamond. After reading the descriptions of the historical non-fiction books, the description of Collapse engrossed me the most. I was interested in the book because it explained how and why some of the most famous ancient and modern societies just fell apart and collapsed. In Jared Diamond’s book, he talks about societies that collapsed such as the ancient societies of the Maya, the Greenland Norse, the Easter Islanders and about modern societies such as Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and more. In the book, he analyzes the falls of these societies and explains their collapses by using his “five-point framework.”
