Ethan Chorin Why Ethan loves this book

A fascinating perspective on the geopolitics of international trade, written from the often-neglected maritime perspective. Writing in a brisk style not overburdened by facts, the author explains the drivers behind great power competition in the Mediterranean, the South China Sea, the Black and Baltic Seas, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Arctic, and the interdependencies between these regions. Includes a number of useful maps.

Nasser's Gamble is an accessible, fluid articulation of Egypt's disastrous pro-Republican war in Yemen in the 1960s, and the thesis that the resources devoted to it (and lack of foresight) dramatically impacted Egypt's performance in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
