Very good book, it helps you understand the geopolitical events of our time, with a historical overview for each country without overwhelming you. It is the appropriate book for anyone interested in geopolitical issues and is a beginner.

One of the most interesting books I have read recently, as it combines geography and history in one. It helped me solve questions I had about the expansion of countries over time, conflicts between countries, the logic behind strange alliances, etc. Obviously, it does not include the most recent events, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but the logic behind it is already covered in a relevant chapter of the book.

I highly recommend it to those who read history and geography books.

The book does not exist, neither does its author. It changes the way you see the world. You learn astonishing things. Must!!!

Detailed and argumentative is the structure of the author with many things he writes as dangers that may have occurred in the year 2023 AD. I recommend it because afterwards you can understand how complex and international the political chessboard of the major powers is.

For a start, it is excellent.
It is not a doctrine as it states, but there are serious factors that affect what is happening and we tend to ignore them

Simply amazing. I started it and couldn't stop reading it. As soon as I finish it, I will buy the others

The previous speakers have covered me... simply a five-star to raise the average because it is amazing!!

An excellent book that addresses various aspects of geopolitics, which are presented in a way that makes them understandable and "digestible" for readers as the texts are concise.

AMAZING BOOK!!!
It made me understand why certain things happen that seemed illogical to me before. The truth is, in order to read it, it would be good to have open maps in front of you (although the author provides them for each chapter he deals with), but it's a bit annoying to keep flipping pages. I have a computer open with the maps on one side and I read the book on the other.

P.S. It teaches you Geography. Really, until I opened this book, I had never noticed that Russia covers the whole of Europe and Asia in such a way, as well as many other things.
P.P.S. You get an idea of geopolitics.
P.P.P.S. This particular book does not deal extensively with Greek-Turkish relations, it just makes a simple reference. Don't expect a detailed analysis.

Excellent book, it shows us a picture of what geopolitics means. Anyone interested in understanding international relations must definitely read it.

Excellent! It clarifies the policies and diplomatic relations of states. It made me better understand the world I live in and comprehend modern history!

Very detailed and informative book about geopolitics that explains what the title suggests, which is how states are captives of geography, how they try to overcome the obstacles imposed on them, and the benefits it gives them. It analyzes the geography of all major countries and many "small" ones, leaving no region out. Specifically for Greece, it does not dedicate many pages and does not mention anything special, which is perhaps logical. It is good to have a map open while reading it to see exactly what is described in the book. The only thing that slightly bothered me is its Western perspective, sometimes idealizing the democracy of the West, but this is a minor detail.

I am not an expert in geopolitics. This book gave me a very good understanding of the state of the world today. It is easy to read. I highly recommend it!

Excellent book that analyzes in depth the geopolitics of the whole world, divided by regions, and at various important moments in human history! This particular one, having read the English edition, I bought it as a gift, and it was duly appreciated!
