By examining regions such as Russia, China, the Middle East, and Africa, Marshall illustrates how natural features like mountains, rivers, and climate impact decision-making and national strategy. He argues that geography, more than ideology, often dictates political behavior and outcomes. With compelling case studies and clear, engaging analysis, Marshall’s work provides readers with a deeper understanding of why certain countries face specific challenges and how geography continues to shape global politics and relationships in the modern era.
