If you want to understand what’s happening in the world, look at a map. 

In his word-of-mouth global bestseller, “Prisoners of Geography”, Tim Marshall – a former diplomatic editor for Sky News, and an authority on foreign affairs who has reported from 40 countries – illuminated how every nation’s choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas, and even concrete.  

We’re delighted to welcome Tim to Stroud Book Festival for an illustrated presentation on his new bestseller, “The Power of Geography”. This builds on the insights in his first book to offer a compelling analysis of ten regions of growing geopolitical importance in terms of shaping our human future; from Australia and the Sahel, to Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Space.
