5 stars
This book is similar to a previous one I read by the author. It's more current but its chapters also tend to focus more on specific countries, not regions. It's well written and seems knowledgeable. If you're looking for a book with geopolitical observations, you'll enjoy it. I did.

Excellent Informative and Analytical Read
The Power of Geography is an excellent analysis of the importance of geography in the political realm of the past and the present. World history was and is still being shaped by the geography of our world. This book goes deep into why geography matters so much.

Excellent writing but colored by secular/naturalist worldview too much
This is a fascinating book filled with details that connect gaps most people probably have in their understanding of geopolitics—past, present, and future. The writing is precise and excellent. It is witty at times, with few wasted words. The author’s secular/naturalist leanings are evident as he clearly concedes things like doomsday climate change models and evolutionary theory as settled facts, something to which conservative and Christian readers may object.

Great Read
This book is fascinating. It ties together history and geography of many countries that are relatively unknown. Each concise chapter will surprise you with interesting, new information.

If you love history and geography, then I recommend reading all of Tim Marshall's books.

More of a country history book than a discussion about current political and geographical challenges. I was disappointed.
