Description
The end of the Cold War reveals that the world is still a dangerous place, with political, ethnic, nationalistic, religious and geostrategic tensions widespread and varied. This atlas uses specially-drawn double-spread maps showing the major geostrategic and spatial factors of each trouble spot, current and potential, together with concise analytical text. Ewan Anderson has worked on geopolitical problems in all the Gulf Co-operation Council States. His recent books include "The Cultural Basis of Afghan Nationalism" (with Nancy Hatch-Dupree) and "Iraq and the Continuing Middle East Crisis", both published by Pinter.
