Every border tells a surprising story in this uncommonly enlightening history that will change the way you understand the world “A novel and fascinating perspective on world history.”―Bill Bryson, author of A Short History of Nearly EverythingMany lines on the map are worth far more than a thousand words, going well beyond merely marking divisions between nations. In this eye-opening investigation into the most remarkable points on the map, a single boundary might, upon closer inspection, reveal eons of history―from epic tales of conquest, treaties, and alliances to intimate, all-too-human stories of love, greed, and folly. Sometimes rooted in physical geography, sometimes entirely arbitrary, none of the lines we know today were inevitable, and all might have looked quite different if not for the intricate interplay of chance and ambition.By listening to the stories these borders have to tell, we can learn how political identities are shaped, why the world’s boundaries look the way they do―and what they tell us about our world and ourselves. From the very first maps in Egypt to the Roman attempts to define the boundaries of civilization, from the profound shift in meaning of the Mason–Dixon line to the secret British-French agreement to carve up the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, and from the dark consequences of Detroit’s city limits to the intriguing reason why landlocked Bolivia still maintains a navy, this is a singular look at human history―told through its most spellbinding border stories. 22 Black & White Maps Read more
