About this listen
The Sunday Times Best Seller
Tim Marshall's global best seller Prisoners of Geography showed how every nation’s choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Since then, the geography hasn’t changed. But the world has.
In this revelatory new book, Marshall explores 10 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 Europe’s 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 21st century; and why the Earth’s atmosphere is set to become the world’s next battleground.
Delivered with Marshall’s trademark wit and insight, this is a lucid and gripping exploration of the power of geography to shape humanity’s past, present - and future.
As read by the author.
Includes pdf with maps.

Good read
Was a good read just like his first one - but this one seemed to focus on a lot more political aspects than just the geographic reasons for those politics. Still really well explained and interesting throughout

Eye opening
Who said “geography is destiny”? Well at least two people according to Google.
This book makes clear they were correct.
And can say this audiobook is a rare instance where the author’s reading added to the pleasure?

Highly interesting
Another great book for those with an interest on geopolitics. I found this one a bit more focused on history than the geography that made the countries than the previous one but still great insights and full of fascinating insights.

The importance of geography
I did not enjoy Tim’s voice but everything else was excellent. Get someone else to read it and the book will be near perfect
