I was expecting a history of the world centered in the eastern countries. However we get a history of the world with focus on eastern countries, but still with a western perspective. It's cool nonetheless.

Ps: avoid the audible version of this book. The narration is awful to the point I almost stopped listening to it. Instead of saying the English equivalent of the names, the narrator tried and completely failed to pronounce people's names to the point it took me a while they were trying to say "Magalhães" (I'm a native Portuguese speaker). Some of the quotes are done with a horrible cringy accent. Avoid.
