Has certainly piqued my interest, especially after reading an awful criticism by a German geographer.
First, though, I've been rather more intrigued by his history of football chants 'Dirty Northern B#######' so just downloaded that. Geopolitics will follow......

Me too. Literally bookmarked for a later read, all available on kindle.
Just finished 'The Full English' a travelog retracing JB Priestlys trip prior to WW2. I learnt a lot about middle England, someplace I've driven through plenty but never stopped. Having slightly overdosed on Mick Herron (Slow Horses etc) the real world beckoned. Although I'm currently sidetracked on a book about the US invasion of Iwo Jima based on the writings of Marine Corps correspondents embedded in the assault forces.
Every day a school day.
