Reviews

"Quite simply, one of the best books about geopolitics you could imagine: reading it is like having a light shone on your understanding." --The Evening Standard "In an ever more complex, chaotic and interlinked world, Prisoners of Geography is a concise and useful primer on geo-politics." --Newsweek Europe "A convincing analysis." --Washington Post "Marshall's insistence on seeing the world through the lens of geography compels a fresh way of looking at maps--not just as objects for orientation or works of art, but as guideposts to the often thorny relations between nations." --New York Times Book Review "Marshall is excellent on some of the highways and byways of geopolitics." --Financial Times "This is not a book about environmental determinism--the geography of a region is never presented as fatalistic; but it does send a timely reminder that despite technological advances, geography is always there, often forcing the hand of world leaders." --Geographical Magazine "Fans of geography, history and politics (and maps) will be enthralled." --Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Lively and perceptive . . . a brilliant narrative . . . superb . . . precise and informative . . . A very lively, sensible and informative series of country reports in which geography occupies its rightful place along with shrewd historical reminders and political judgments." --Survival: Global Politics and Strategy "This book is especially timely . . . Landscapes, rugged or otherwise, and what the land holds in resources, exert their own kind of sway that no one, not even a Putin, can surmount. This book grabbed me because of its enormous relevance to our world today." --Booktrib.com
