About this product

Product Information

All leaders are constrained by geography. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Yes, to follow world events you need to understand people, ideas and movements - but if you don't know geography, you'll never have the full picture. If you've ever wondered why Putin is so obsessed with Crimea, why the USA was destined to become a global superpower, or why China's power base continues to expand ever outwards, the answers are all here. In ten chapters (covering Russia; China; the USA; Latin America; the Middle East; Africa; India and Pakistan; Europe; Japan and Korea; and the Arctic), using maps, essays and occasionally the personal experiences of the widely travelled author, Prisoners of Geography looks at the past, present and future to offer an essential insight into one of the major factors that determines world history. It's time to put the 'geo' back into geopolitics.

    How countries interact on the geo-political level.

    Tim Marshall writes with intelligence and clarity and makes complex issues very accessible. If I was still teaching Geography in school, I would want all my scholars to read this. Highly recommend.

    Good book but...

    When opened the package for this book I was hit by an awful stench of cigarettes and perfume. Which is a shame because apart from that the book is great, but if you read books a lot you would know that an odd smelling book can be really off putting.

    Prisoners of geography

    As a geography graduate myself and having an interest in politics I was so interested to dip into this book which I purchased for my grandson. He is studying politics as an A level subject and particularly wanted it. I now intend to buy a copy for myself!! It gave me such an interesting background to the present problems in Afghanistan and it’s surrounding countries.

    A brilliant informative read

    This has been so interesting. It has helped to gain more of an understanding on how geography shapes politics. It has also helped me understand on a greater level the present epidemic world with heightened technology challenging demographics.

    A must-read for everyone.

    Anyone who has the slightest interest in what's happening on the world stage must read this book to gain an understanding of why we're in the predicament that we're in. The book is very well written, accessible and engaging, and set out in such a way that you can dip into it as well as reading it from cover to cover.
