Tim Marshall was Diplomatic Editor and foreign correspondent for Sky News. After thirty years’ experience in news reporting and presenting, he left full time news journalism to concentrate on writing and analysis.
Originally from Leeds, Tim arrived at broadcasting from the road less traveled. Not a media studies or journalism graduate, in fact not a graduate at all, after a wholly unsuccessful career as a painter and decorator he worked his way through newsroom nightshifts, and unpaid stints as a researcher and runner before eventually securing himself a foothold on the first rung of the broadcasting career ladder.
After three years as IRN’s Paris correspondent and extensive work for BBC radio and TV, Tim joined Sky News. Reporting from Europe, the USA and Asia, Tim became Middle East Correspondent based in Jerusalem.
Tim also reported in the field from Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia during the Balkan wars of the 1990’s. He spent the majority of the 1999 Kosovo crisis in Belgrade, where he was one of the few western journalists who stayed on to report from one of the main targets of NATO bombing raids. Tim was in Kosovo to greet the NATO troops on the day they advanced into Pristina. In recent years he covered the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria.
He has written for many of the national newspapers including the Times, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, and the Sunday Times.

十分令人失望的一本书。就这样还能上纽约时报的畅销书榜,大概只能说明美国读者地理知识是何等缺乏。作者是个跑国际新闻的记者,所以去过的地方挺多,对国际关系也算有些专长。但此书只不过是把全球主要地区一个个数过来(所谓的“十张地图”),讲每一个区域里地理条件如何塑...
评分一时兴起翻了几章给家人朋友看。没有逐字逐句翻,主要是还原作者的意思。 第一章 俄国 http://www.jianshu.com/p/586e75a82f3f 第二章 中国 http://www.jianshu.com/p/5495398c25a8 第三章 美国 http://www.jianshu.com/p/319f98a410ff 第六章 中东(1)这章太长了,拆开来...

In the bestselling tradition of Why Nations Fail and The Revenge of Geography, an award-winning journalist uses ten maps of crucial regions to explain the geo-political strategies of the world powers.
All leaders of nations are constrained by geography. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas, and concrete. To understand world events, news organizations and other authorities often focus on people, ideas, and political movements, but without geography, we never have the full picture. Now, in the relevant and timely Prisoners of Geography, seasoned journalist Tim Marshall examines Russia, China, the USA, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, 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 in clear and engaging prose the complex geo-political strategies of these key parts of the globe. What does it mean that Russia must have a navy, but also has frozen ports six months a year? How does this affect Putin’s treatment of the Ukraine? How is China’s future constrained by its geography? Why will Europe never be united? Why will America never be invaded? Shining a light on the unavoidable physical realities that shape all of our aspirations and endeavors, Prisoners of Geography is the critical guide to one of the major (and most often overlooked) determining factors in world history.
写到我这个地理盲都能看懂个大概,作者的文笔挺好的。有其他人评价书里对中国比较不公平,我倒是没有太多这种感觉。我倒是对目前的一带一路政策有了更多的了解,为什么中国要去非洲投资,为什么要在南美洲撒钱。如果对地缘政治不太了解,也没什么想法,值得把这个书翻来看看。
评分挺有趣的通俗易懂,比较简单就说清楚了几个复杂问题的来源
评分三星半通勤扫盲书。大国视角生硬地解释大国经济政治博弈,有一定局限性。
评分因为我是geopolitics白痴所以真的很适合看这个书来启蒙一下
