Geography shapes not only our history, but where we’re headed…<\/p>\n
All leaders are constrained by geography. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Yes, to follow world events you need to understand people, ideas and movements – but if you don’t know geography, you’ll never have the full picture.<\/p>\n

In ten chapters and ten maps, Prisoners of Geography looks at the past, present and future to offer an essential insight into one of the major factors that determines world history.<\/p>\n
It’s time to put the ‘geo’ back into geopolitics.<\/p>\n
