The World Explained in Maps

Maps have long been a geopolitical cheat sheet for analysts—unlike other types of data, they can’t easily be corrupted or co-opted by political rhetoric or media hype. In this e-book, Geopolitical Futures founder and New York Times bestselling author George Friedman will show you the world in ways you’ve never seen before—and teach you to decode the lines of maps to reveal the past, present, and future of people and their countries.
