Description

How did the USA become a superpower? Why do people go to war? And why are some countries rich while others are so poor? The answers to these questions and many more in this eye-opening book, which uses maps to explain how geography has shaped the history of our world. Discover how the choices of world leaders are swayed by mountains, rivers and seas – and why geography means that history is always repeating itself. This remarkable, unique introduction to world affairs will inspire curious young minds everywhere. Praise for Prisoners of Geography: “A fresh way of looking at maps . . . as guideposts to the often thorny relations between nations” – New York Times “One of the best books about geopolitics you could imagine” – Nicholas Lezard, Evening Standard
