The World: A Brief Introduction

The book covers a vast scope, from history to current international relations. I wonder what motivated him to distill it all into this brief yet comprehensive guide.

The book touches on so many aspects of global affairs that it can be a lot to process. Did others find it helpful to focus on certain chapters more than others?

Since it aims to be an introduction, I’m curious whether it offers a unique viewpoint or aligns with mainstream interpretations of world politics.
