Publisher's Summary

New from the number-one Sunday Times best-selling author of Prisoners of Geography.

We feel more divided than ever. This riveting analysis tells you why. Walls are going up. Nationalism and identity politics are on the rise once more. Thousands of miles of fences and barriers have been erected in the past 10 years, and they are redefining our political landscape.

There are many reasons why we erect walls, because we are divided in many ways: wealth, race, religion, politics. In Europe the ruptures of the past decade threaten not only European unity but, in some countries, liberal democracy itself. In China, the Party's need to contain the divisions wrought by capitalism will define the nation's future. In the USA the rationale for the Mexican border wall taps in to the fear that the USA will no longer be a white majority country in the course of this century.

Understanding what has divided us, past and present, is essential to understanding much of what's going on in the world today. Covering China; the USA; Israel and Palestine; the Middle East; the Indian Subcontinent; Africa; and Europe and the UK, best-selling author Tim Marshall presents a gripping and unflinching analysis of the fault lines that will shape our world for years to come.

A Breezy read into World Identities

The book is well written and summarises the story behind many conflict areas. Ofcourse all conflicts arise from a complex mesh of past and present cultural-economic-demographic dynamics and is not possible to cover in a book that seeks to encompass a little bit into many matters. It is nonetheless quite informative for someone looking to introduce oneself into various global issues. The book sort of provides a window into the topics for further reading and was helpful for me that ways. The tone/language is easy and mostly free from any biases, opinions , condescension etc.
Overall... i'd rate this book well.
