Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Global Politics

3 stars - It was good.
Interesting and extremely relevant read – I particularly enjoyed the chapter on the Arctic.
-------------------------------------------
Favorite Quote: When we are reaching for the stars, the challenges ahead are such that we will perhaps have to come together to meet them: to travel the universe not as Russians, Americans, or Chinese but as representatives of humanity. But so far, although we have broken free from the shackles of gravity, we are still imprisoned in our own minds, confined by our suspicion of the “other,” and thus our primal competition for resources.
First Sentence: Vladimir Putin says he is a religious man, a great supporter of the Russian Orthodox Church.

“Analysts often write about the need for certain cultures not to lose face, or ever be seen to back down, but this is not just a problem in the Arab or East Asian cultures—it is a human problem expressed in different ways.”

The chapter on the Arctic left me a bit disappointed. Too much talk about the USA and really nothing about Canada's strategy or history in the Arctic. I was really disappointed by that, but otherwise yes this was a fantastic book.
