*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*I cant imagine reading a better book this year Daily MirrorTim Marshalls global bestseller Prisoners of Geography showed how every nations choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Since then, the geography hasnt changed. But the world has. In this revelatory new book, Marshall explores ten regions that are set to shape global politics in a new age of great-power rivalry: Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Greece, Turkey, the Sahel, Ethiopia, Spain and Space. Find out why Europes next refugee crisis is closer than it thinks as trouble brews in the Sahel; why the Middle East must look beyond oil and sand to secure its future; why the eastern Mediterranean is one of the most volatile flashpoints of the twenty-first century; and why the Earths atmosphere is set to become the worlds next battleground. Delivered with Marshalls trademark wit and insight, this is a lucid and gripping exploration of the power of geography to shape humanitys past, present - and future. Another outstanding guide to the modern world. Marshall is a master at explaining what you need to know and why. Peter Frankopan
