Well, this was an interesting book to read this past week. It is outdated, though, this edition having been published in 2019. Despite that, some interesting big picture points to consider heading into the future.

The author looks at various countries around the world and shows how their geography helps or hinders them in their attempts to expand, develop, or defend themselves. Fascinating and a welcome aid to understanding the stories behind the news.

Purpleness Argh, I just realised I tagged the wrong book. I almost never have two books on the go at once, and I must gave just automatically searched up the one I had been reading most recently. 7mo

Texreader This looks interesting but very long. Would you recommend it? 7mo
Purpleness @Texreader Depends on what your tolerance for long detailed history is. I am enjoying it, but it there are lots of really detailed descriptions of diplomatic exchanges and battles, and it could have used a better editor in some parts. What I do like about it is that by talking about a whole period in detail like this, it can show the evolution of the situation in each of the main countries involved. 7mo
