N2  - 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.  If you've ever 
wondered why Putin is so obsessed with Crimea, why the USA
was destined to become a global superpower, or why China's
power base continues to expand ever outwards, the answers 
are all here.  In ten chapters (covering Russia; China; 
the USA; Latin America; the Middle East; Africa; India and
       Pakistan; Europe; Japan and Korea; and the Arctic), using 
       maps, essays and occasionally the personal experiences of 
       the widely travelled author, 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.  It's time to put the 'geo' back into 
       geopolitics.
