Historical and present-day analysis done on a region-by-region basis demonstrates how geography has shaped global politics and the modern world.
In this insightful account, readers trace the history of the world’s hot spots by examining their climates, topographies, and proximities to other embattled regions—from the sense of insecurity bred by the frigid Russian steppes to the high number of weak economies that are landlocked. The book applies lessons learned—fortified by several maps—to the present crises in Europe, China, the Indian subcontinent, Turkey, Iran, and the Arab Middle East.
