In this revelatory new book, Marshall explores ten regions that are set to shape global politics in a new age of great-power rivalry: Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Greece, Turkey, the Sahel, Ethiopia, Spain and Space. Since then, the geography hasn’t changed. Tim Marshall's global bestseller Prisoners of Geography showed how every nation’s choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. 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. 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. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. All leaders are constrained by geography.
