More about the book
Focusing on the pivotal ideas presented by Halford Mackinder in 1904, the book explores the shifting geopolitical landscape that emerged from his theories. With Britain facing challenges from rising powers like America, Germany, and Russia, Mackinder identified Eastern Europe's "heartland" as crucial for global dominance. Historian Jeremy Black draws parallels to today's conflicts, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and tensions in the Taiwan Strait, urging a reevaluation of geopolitics from Mackinder's time to the current era and beyond.
