Summary

"Marshall examines Russia, China, the United States, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Western Europe, Japan and Korea, and Greenland and the Arctic--their weather, seas, mountains, rivers, deserts, and borders--to provide a context often missing from our political reportage: how the physical characteristics of these countries affect their strengths and vulnerabilities and the decisions made by their leaders. In ten up-to-date maps of each region, Marshall explains ... the complex geopolitical strategies of these key parts of the globe."--Front flap of jacket
