Prisoners of Geography

Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Global Politics

Book • 2016

In 'Prisoners of Geography,' Tim Marshall argues that geography plays a crucial role in shaping the decisions and actions of world leaders.

The book examines ten key regions, including Russia, China, the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India and Pakistan, Japan and Korea, and the Arctic, using maps to illustrate how geographical factors influence geopolitical strategies.

Marshall challenges the idea that technology can overcome geographical constraints, emphasizing that understanding geography is essential for grasping the complexities of global politics and conflict.

The book provides a fresh perspective on why certain geopolitical events occur, such as Russia's annexation of Crimea and China's expanding power base, and highlights the ongoing relevance of geography in an increasingly interconnected world.
