A little hard to get into if, like me, you didn't already have the vocabulary. But once you get up to speed, it's an excellent discussion of how geography shapes geopolitics. Recommend you read it with a good atlas, you'll never see the maps the same way again. ( ) I probably should reread this book with my eyes. It is very dense and my mind wandered sometimes listening to the audio version. I also think I would do better with a good map close at hand as I read. The other challenge was the organization. To make his points, he often circles back to earlier topics and themes. Sometimes that makes it more confusing to follow. This book will be well worth a closer read. It does help inform current and future foreign policy. This is an excellent book, and I have learned a lot from reading the book. When I read a book called "1962, the War that Wasn't", I realised the importance of geography in geopolitics. Rather, it brought home the importance of geography. When China annexed Tibet and Sinkiang, and Aksai Chin, they ensured that they had access to water and trade routes. Many of my friends disputed this. When you read this book - and it may be worthwhile to explore the many authors he cites - you will gain an intimate appreciation of the geographic importance of the location of places and why countries play in seemingly unimportant countries. The book gives you a broad sweep of geography and geopolitics and spans the globe. It is excellent, and will provide you with a springboard which you can launch for your future explorations. Interesting, if not magisterial. Is informed by the ghosts of past foreign policy debates in a manner that sometimes seems off-putting — one wants to learn more about geopolitics, not rehash 1990s debates about Balkan intervention. A nice thought-provoker, but one that covers a lot of subjects cursorily. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
