What's an example of these "wrong facts", and who is a historian that discredits it? Ironically, your comment is fact-free. It's a work of synthesis, so it has the problem where every specialist will find something to disagree with. Not to say that this shouldn't be taken into account. (I have read rebuttals/contradictions of Diamond's other work, e.g. on Easter Island) Also, why not read the other 4 books on the list, instead of focusing on the one you read and didn't like?
