People have been drawing lines on maps for as long as there have been maps to draw on. Sometimes rooted in physical geography, sometimes entirely arbitrary, these lines might often have looked very different if a war or treaty or the decisions of a handful of tired Europeans had gone a different way. The journalist and former Assistant Editor of the New Statesman tells the stories of these borders, explaining how political identities were shaped, why the world looks the way it does – and the hilarious scale of human folly.
