About the author
Tim Marshall is a British journalist and author who reported on diplomacy, conflict, and international affairs for television and print outlets. His books introduce geopolitics to general readers through maps and recurring strategic constraints.
Prisoners of Geography organises ten regions around mountains, plains, rivers, coastlines, resources, and distance. Marshall treats geography as a pressure on political choice, while leaving room for history, institutions, technology, and leaders to shape the response.
Where to start
Start with Prisoners of Geography for the ten-map introduction, then read The Power of Geography for a second set of regions and strategic questions.
