Comments:
I am aware that I am very interested in global politics and so this book (plus Prisoners of Geography) is right up my street. If you don’t have the same fascination in the subject, then this book will probably be a 4 or 3 star for you.
Also, despite me rating the book 5 star not every chapter/region was 5 stars or as compelling as others.
However, Marshall writes so clearly about things most people aren’t aware of that you are bound to learn a lot, and I think there is plenty to think about and find interest in for anyone.

Summation:
Solid recommend for general readers and HIGHLY recommend for those interested in global politics and history.
