This was an interesting book that looks at the importance of wheat and its role in historical events, especially in relation to world conflict.

While the author makes many good points and connections, I did feel like they were sometimes intentionally blind to other elements that were relevant, if not more relevant.

I also feel that the subtitle 'How American Wheat Remade the World' is a strange choice given how little influence American wheat has had in relation to the grand scale of history. 

I thought this book would be heavily focused on American wheat and the American wheat industry, but it has a greater focus on Russian and European wheat.

The narration by Jason Arnold was good, but the book doesn't lend itself well to being an audiobook due to the amount of statistics and numbers involved in several sections.
