Synopsis
From the author of the New York Times bestseller Prisoners of Geography, a fascinating, &“refreshing, and very useful&” (The Washington Post) follow-up that uses ten maps to explain the challenges to today&’s world powers and how they presage a volatile future.Tim Marshall&’s global bestseller Prisoners of Geography offered us a &“fresh way of looking at maps&” (The New York Times Book Review), showing how every nation&’s choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas, and walls. Since then, the geography hasn&’t changed, but the world has. Now, in this &“wonderfully entertaining and lucid account, written with wit, pace, and clarity&” (Mirror, UK), Marshall takes us into ten regions set to shape global politics. Find out why US interest in the Middle East will wane; why Australia is now beginning an epic contest with China; how Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the UK are cleverly positioning themselves for greater power; why Ethiopia can control Egypt; and why Europe&’s next refugee crisis looms closer than we think, as does a cutting-edge arms race to control space. Innovative, compelling, and delivered with Marshall&’s trademark wit and insight, this is &“an immersive blend of history, economics, and political analysis that puts geography at the center of human affairs&” (Publishers Weekly).
