Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall. Fascinating story about how borders and geography shape nations. For example why would russians attack Ukraine and why are African nations less developed. Book is from 2017. I actually heard it as audio book. Very interesting.

I just finished this one. It is an excellent book. He really improved my understanding of geopolitics and why maps look like they do. I also recommend!

Same here. I'm really looking forward to reading more pieces from him.
