PRAISE FOR THEORIGINAL EDITION OF PRISONERS OF GEOGRAPHY:"Quite simply, one of the best books about geopolitics you could imagine:reading it is like having a light shone on your understanding... Marshall isclear-headed, lucid and possessed of an almost uncanny ability to make thebroad picture accessible and coherent ... the book is, in a way whichastonished me, given the complexities of the subject, unputdownable... I can'tthink of another book that explains the world situation so well" -Nicholas Lezard, Evening Standard"A fresh way of looking at maps... as guideposts to the often thornyrelations between nations" - New York Times
