Tim Marshall’s Prisoners of Geography explores how geography shapes global politics, conflicts, and power struggles. Through ten case studies, including Russia, China, and the Middle East, he illustrates how physical landscapes—mountains, rivers, deserts—determine a country’s economic and military strategies. Marshall argues that while technology and globalization have changed many aspects of politics, geography remains a fundamental force driving international relations. Reviews "Marshall makes geopolitics accessible, showing how natural landscapes influence world events in ways most people never consider. An eye-opening read for anyone interested in global affairs." "An essential book for understanding modern politics. Marshall connects history, geography, and international relations seamlessly, making complex topics digestible for general readers." "Tim Marshall’s insights are sharp and thought-provoking. This book will change how you see the world map—no longer as just a collection of borders, but as a blueprint of global power.
