In his international bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now, in his third book in this monumental trilogy, he reveals how successful nations recover from crises while adopting selective changes -- a coping mechanism more commonly associated with individuals recovering from personal crises. Diamond compares how six countries have survived recent upheavals -- ranging from the forced opening of Japan by U.S. Commodore Perry's fleet, to the Soviet Union's attack on Finland, to a murderous coup or countercoup in Chile and Indonesia, to the transformations of Germany and Austria after World War Two. Because Diamond has lived and spoken the language in five of these six countries, he can present gut-wrenching histories experienced firsthand. These nations coped, to varying degrees, through mechanisms such as acknowledgment of responsibility, painfully honest self-appraisal, and learning from models of other nations. Looking to the future, Diamond examines whether the United States, Japan, and the whole world are successfully coping with the grave crises they currently face. Can we learn from lessons of the past? Adding a psychological dimension to the in-depth history, geography, biology, and anthropology that mark all of Diamond's books, Upheaval reveals factors influencing how both whole nations and individual people can respond to big challenges. The result is a book epic in scope, but also his most personal book yet.

La 4e de couv. indique : "Ce livre est une étude comparative, narrative et exploratoire des crises et des changements sélectifs survenus au cours de nombreuses décennies dans sept nations modernes : la Finlande, le Japon, le Chili, l’Indonésie, l’Allemagne, l’Australie et les États-Unis. Les comparaisons historiques obligent, en effet, à poser des questions peu susceptibles de ressortir à l’étude d’un seul cas : pourquoi un certain type d’événement a-t-il produit un résultat singulier dans un pays et un très différent dans un autre ? L’étude s’organise en trois paires de chapitres, chacune portant sur un type différent de crise nationale. La première paire concerne des crises dans deux pays (la Finlande en 1940 et le Japon des années 1850) qui ont éclaté lors d’un bouleversement soudain provoqué par un choc extérieur au pays. La deuxième paire concerne également des crises qui ont éclaté soudainement, mais en raison d’explosions internes (le Chili en 1973 et l’Indonésie en 1965). La dernière paire décrit des crises qui n’ont pas éclaté d’un coup, mais se sont déployées progressivement (en Allemagne après 1945 et en Australie dans les années 1970), notamment en raison de tensions déclenchées par la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’objectif exploratoire de Jared Diamond est de déterminer une douzaine de facteurs, hypothèses ou variables, destinés à être testés ultérieurement par des études quantitatives. Chemin faisant, la question est posée de savoir si les nations ont besoin de crises pour entreprendre de grands changements, et si les dirigeants produisent des effets décisifs sur l’histoire. Tout en respectant la volonté première de ne pas discuter d’une actualité trop proche qui, faute de distance et perspective, rendrait le propos rapidement obsolète, un Après-propos, propre à l’édition française, esquisse, en l’état des données au printemps 2020, une réflexion sur la pandémie de la Covid-19."

Now in a revised edition with a new afterword, Jared Diamond's Collapse uncovers the secret behind why some societies flourish, while others founder - and what this means for our future.What happened to the people who made the forlorn long-abandoned statues of Easter Island?What happened to the architects of the crumbling Maya pyramids?Will we go the same way, our skyscrapers one day standing derelict and overgrown like the temples at Angkor Wat?Bringing together new evidence from a startling range of sources and piecing together the myriad influences, from climate to culture, that make societies self-destruct, Jared Diamond's Collapse also shows how - unlike our ancestors - we can benefit from our knowledge of the past and learn to be survivors.
