Overview: Somehow, Jonn Elledge turns geo-political history into a funny, fascinating and revealing insight not only into the world today but into the frailty and determination of the human spirit. Packed with “I never knew that” information (the sort that you read out to anyone in the room with you), A History Of The World In 47 Bordersshows us that history doesn’t repeat itself, but it plays out in weird ways right under our noses. He’s such a lovely writer. A delight from start to finish. (MIRANDA SAWYER)
A brilliant account of how these lines on a map shape lives, destinies and economies. You’ll never look at a map in the same way again. (STEPHEN BUSH)
The last decade in global politics is a reminder that history never moves in a straight line – but that hasn’t ever stopped politicians and powerbrokers from trying to draw them on the maps that hang on the walls of our classrooms and corridors of power. This addictive book from the ever curious Jonn Elledge proves that and then some. Full of stories you thought you understood and those even the nerds in your life will never have known, this clever, confounding history will help you see the world from a new angle – if you can ever put it down. (PATRICK MAGUIRE)
All borders are artificial and every nation is an invention. Jonn Elledge provides a witty grand tour of the fascinating, disturbing and downright bizarre decisions that made the world what it is today. (DORIAN LYNSKEY)
