ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall explores how geography shapes global politics, influencing nations' strategies, alliances, and conflicts. Through ten chapters focused on different regions of the world, the book examines how natural barriers, resources, and geographical location impact political power, security, and economic development. Marshall highlights how countries' histories and futures are constrained or facilitated by their landscapes, from Russia’s expansive plains to China’s mountainous borders. The book combines geopolitical analysis with historical context, offering a fresh perspective on international relations and the enduring influence of geography in shaping global events.
