## Description

Explore how geography has shaped world leaders' decisions through 10 maps revealing strategic constraints and historical invasions shaping global politics.

Review: Fantastic book for anyone interested in learning about into geopolitics and global politics - I bought this book for further my knowledge of geography and politics for my A-level studies and found myself not being able to put it down. Tim Marshall explains the basics of international relations and its relation to geography in an easy to read manner. Marshall explains various countries' problems with geography. He starts with Russia and explains why Putin chose to annex Crimea by explaining Russia's geography and history; he talks about the rise of the BRICS and the next superpowers, and how developing countries are gaining a foothold on the world stage. The book is split into chapters each talking about an area of the world and is interspersed with maps, although the book's subtitle is a bit misleading as the maps are more complimentary than instrumental in the book's explanation of geopolitics. For an introduction to geopolitics, this is a great book. If you are studying Politics and/or Geography at A-level, or simply want an introduction to these concepts, this book is a great starting point. It provides many examples and case studies for A-level that come in very useful. It is a bit short, although for some that may be a virtue if you are looking for a light read.
Review: Good experience - Delivered as expected.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ See politics in a new light
*by •***• on 20 October 2022*

This book brings home how hampered some countries are by their mountains and rivers, access to the sea and other factors. I don't agree with all the conclusions, though, eg, does geography justify Russia seizing Ukraine because of its paranoia about invasion by land? Of course not. Still, a thought provoking read.
