Marshall examines how factors such as mountains, rivers, and coastlines have influenced the development and fortunes of countries and how natural resources have shaped economic and military power. He also delves into the ways in which borders and boundaries have been drawn and redrawn, often with disastrous consequences.
Through compelling storytelling and insightful analysis, "Prisoners of Geography" offers a fascinating and eye-opening look at how the physical world has shaped human history and continues to influence our lives today. It offers a unique perspective on some of the world's most pressing issues, including climate change, resource depletion, and geopolitical conflict.
