Prisoners Of Geography

The media could not be loaded. So informative and great perspectives for anyone who is interested in how world history has shaped over years! Highly recommend

I had the honour and the privilege to hear Tim Marshall, the author, at the inaugural HFW "Commodities Dinner" in September 2022. This is a fascinating book and I look forward to reading the sequel, "The Power of Geography". A must read in this febrile and interconnected world of realpolitik! If you liked this you will like also enjoy "The World For Sale" by Javier Blas & Jack Farchy & "Commodity Crops & the Merchants who trade them" as well as "Out of The Shadows" by Jonathan Kingsman

This book is FANTASTIC. Was recommended.If you think you know geopolitics, think again!Well written.HIGHLY recommend this book.

As someone who is interested in world politics, this book provides a great new, but so realistic, perspective on Leaders' behaviorThe writing is very fluent, easy to capture and interesting.Loved this book

Offers a great perspective and lens to view the world today.

This is a fantastic read if you wish to understand the nature of global powers. Why is Russia so aggressive with Ukraine? Why is China expanding so rapidly? This book offers an analysis of each world player, including what that want, what lines they can't allow to be crossed, and what they may do next. Make sure to get the most up-to-date version. I feel this book will be very relevant in the chaotic times to come.

As someone who has always loved learning about the world and the different countries and cultures all around it, I found this book to be incredible. It was quick moving yet thorough and hit on so many things that I, even as someone who studied Geography a little, had never even thought about. I would recommend this book to anyone to better understand the world and politics and how they are shaped by the physical realities all around us! Amazing read.

If you like history and if you are really interested in the history of Washington DC then this is the book for you. I have enjoyed every page of this book. The subjects are broken into short explanations which have their own title. I only have one complaint. In the KINDLE version the maps are so small that you can't read them - so I bought the printed book too specifically so I could see the maps.
