‘One of the best books about geopolitics you could imagine.’ Evening Standard

Prisoners of Geography is the book people need to understand what’s happening in the news today, from China’s ambitions to the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Bestselling author and geopolitics expert Tim Marshall looks at the past, present and future to offer crucial insights into one of the major factors that determines world history – because if you don’t know geography, you’ll never have the full picture.

This completely revised and updated edition brings the classic text up to date with the events and trends of the past decade, with new material including:

• the Russia–Ukraine war and Moscow's alliances with authoritarian states
• the conflicts in the Middle East
• China’s growing military and strategic power, and its stance on Taiwan
• American global power and pivot to the Pacific
• Europe’s leaning towards more extreme politics, increased defence spending, and the new ‘Iron Curtain’
• Japan's remilitarisation and increasing power
• great power play in Africa
• the growth of Indian economic and military strength

For a dedicated chapter on the geopolitical importance of Iran and why the Strait of Hormuz makes it a key global player, read The Power of Geography: Ten Maps that Reveal the Future of Our World by Tim Marshall.
