New from the No.1 author of the Sunday Times, known for "Prisoners of Geography". A fascinating analysis examining why we feel more divided than ever. Nationalistic sentiment and political identity are resurging, with thousands of kilometers of barriers and obstacles constructed over the last decade, reshaping the political landscape. There are many reasons leading to the creation of walls, as we are divided in many ways: wealth, race, religion, politics. In Europe, the rifts of the last decade threaten not only European unity but also liberal democracy in certain countries. In China, the Party's need to limit the divisions caused by capitalism will determine the country's future. In the USA, the rationale behind the border wall with Mexico highlights the fear that the USA will no longer be a white-majority country during this century. It is crucial to understand what has divided us, past and present, to interpret current global issues. Bestselling author Tim Marshall presents a gripping and unrelenting analysis of the fractures that will define our world for years to come.
