I'm looking for a book on the history of Buddhism. Is there anything like what Diarmaid MacCulloch has written regarding Christianity?

I'm particularly interested in how Buddhism has changed as it has been adopted in new countries/cultures. Ideally it would be written for a lay and secular audience.

Is there such a book?
