Even though I have taken some time out from social media,
I have not stopped reading.
Yes I have not read as much but
the books have been really interesting, as ever.
I read this book some time ago.
It explains how the geography of countries have influenced their politics.
This in turn influenced their history
both ancient and modern.
I now have a greater understanding of why certain things happened,
especially recent events such as the war in Ukraine
and the situation in China.
What is the book?
Prisoners
of
Geography
by
Tim Marshall
The information is well presented
so it is easy to read
but with so much information
it is difficult to remember everything.
In the light of the pandemic and the fall out
I intend to read this again soon.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
