Geography has a very important impact on the fate of countries. Land and natural resources can endanger and threaten human beings just as they can bring security and prosperity. Although modern technology has made it possible to control geographical laws to some extent, it is still important in understanding why countries behave. The main focus of the book "prisoners of Geography" is the importance of geopolitics in studying international issues and crises. The author seeks to answer the key question of how geopolitics influences the decisions of leaders and political actors. According to the author, geographical challenges, including mountains, rivers, deserts, and other natural barriers, limit leaders' decision-making in war and peace. In this regard, the author examines the geopolitical conditions of different countries in different geographical regions and, by reviewing the historical past, looks at the future of international crises in light of geopolitical constraints. The Marshall Team has identified key geopolitical issues facing all major continents and regions of the world. The author analyzes the geopolitics of areas with the potential for current or future conflicts. In view of the above issues, the present article tries to introduce the work, critique, and evaluate it on the agenda.
