Every country’s leaders are influenced by their geography. Their options are shaped by natural features like mountains, rivers, and seas. While news and analysis often highlight people, ideas, and political movements, understanding the role of geography is essential for a complete view of global events. Tim Marshall, an experienced journalist, investigates regions including Russia, China, the USA, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Japan, Korea, and Greenland and the Arctic. He looks at aspects such as weather, landforms, and borders to reveal how the physical landscape affects each country’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as the choices their leaders make.

With ten updated maps, Marshall clearly explains the intricate geopolitical strategies of these key areas. What impact does Russia’s need for a navy have, especially when its ports freeze for six months each year? How does this influence Putin’s actions in Ukraine? What geographical limits does China face? Why is a united Europe unlikely? Why is an invasion of America improbable? By highlighting the undeniable physical realities that influence our goals and actions, Prisoners of Geography serves as an essential guide to a major factor often overlooked in world history.
