History is a story—and it’s impossible to tell the whole tale without understanding the place where the events unfolded. Acclaimed author Tim Marshall made a powerful case for this new way of understanding the past (and present) in his internationally bestselling book Prisoners of Geography. In this Illustrated Young Readers Edition, his fascinating insights come to life for a whole new audience in detail-packed maps and lively illustrations that explain how a nation’s destiny is written in its landscape.
