Geopolitics is Tim Marshall's subject. A British journalist and broadcaster specialising in foreign affairs and diplomacy, Marshall was diplomatic and foreign affairs editor at Sky News and now comments on world events for the BBC, Sky News and LBC. Prisoners of Geography (2015) became a New York Times bestseller and a number one Sunday Times bestseller, and a children's illustrated edition followed in 2019. The Power of Geography (2021), A Flag Worth Dying For (2016) and The Age of Walls (2018) extend the same argument. Eight titles end at Future of Geography (2023).
