Prisoners of Geography

The book uses maps as a lens to explore world events, but I wonder how the author decided which regions or themes to highlight. Did certain geopolitical issues influence these choices more than others?

It’s fascinating how much terrain and borders influence decisions made by world leaders. Did anyone else find this perspective changed how they view current events or history?

While the maps provide a clear framework, some topics seem condensed. I wonder if the author aimed for clarity over complete nuance—what do others think?
