  • Prisoners of Geography Is a Concise and Useful Primer on Geopolitics.’
    ‘Marshall is not afraid to ask tough questions and provide sharp answers … His approach is simple but eective. Ten chapters, each accompanied by a map, cover the world’s regions and global powers. Each shows how geography shapes not just history but destiny. In an ever more complex, chaotic and interlinked world, Prisoners of Geography is a concise and useful primer on geopolitics.’ – Adam LeBor, Newsweek ‘Sharp insights into the way geography shapes the choices of world leaders.’ – Gideon Rachman, The World blog, ft.com ‘An exceptional work, well-researched, argued and documented … a treasure of information to satisfy the specialist researcher into contemporary geopolitics and oers a riveting insight to the general reader or student.… It is all covered in this magnicent book, which I highly recommend.’ – Nehad Ismail, writer and broadcaster ‘There are few foreign correspondents in the current British media who can present an overview of a political situation quite like Tim Marshall … in Prisoners of Geography he presents this knowledge and experience quite brilliantly. It’s a cleverly written book and underlines what makes Tim Marshall such an eective voice on world aairs.’ – retroculturati.com ‘Marshall’s latest book explains how politics is nothing without geography, in his crisp and compelling style … What he really excels at is capturing the psychology of nations and giving maps a power that politicians must tame.’ – Top Ten Holiday Reads, Dan Lewis, Stanfords, WorldTravelGuide.net ‘Quite simply, one of the best books about geopolitics

[redacted] Attachment titled „02-09-17 Response to Questions‟ From: [redacted], ADI PS MINISTRY OF DEFENCE Room 357a, Old War Office Building Whitehall, London, SW1A 2EU Direct Dial: 020 7 218 5820 Switchboard: 020 7 218 9000 Facsimile: 020 7 218 4391 BRENT: 0207 218 7479 [redacted] JIO Assessments Staff Your reference: Room 243 Cabinet Office Our Reference: D/DI PS/8/1/2 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Date: 17 September 2002 IRAQI WMD DOSSIER – QUESTIONS Our responses to your questions posed are as follows: 1. What is our view about the defector quoted in the news paper - al Hadiri? We had no information of anyone of that name being in the nuclear or WMD programmes. However, we gather he was an engineer working on buildings and not a scientist working on the programme. We believe his level of access was very limited and the details he has provided, to be superficial. 2. How many years/months did UNSCOM/IAEA state that Iraq was from having a nuclear weapon in 1991, and were there any caveats? The IAEA did not believe that Iraq was developing a nuclear weapon, and in 1991 didn't have a clue about the Iraqi nuclear weapons programme. The IAEA Iraq Action Team, once in country, were very surprised at the programme that Iraq had undertaken and the progress made.
