This three-part series brings to the screen Jared Diamond's
sometimes controversial theories about the course of human
civilization. Diamond's Pulitzer Prize-winning work offers a
revealing look at the rise and fall of societies through the lens
of geography, technology, biology and economics - forces symbolized
by the power of guns, germs and steel. The series spans five

others the conquered. Jared Diamond hosts.
