This book did what it said on the tin, as I expected from this author. The main things I learned were the modern history of some key countries/regions, which is a great help in understanding the world as it is today. The book is very up to date, with Biden and Johnson being mentioned. The writing style is very accessible, with some of the language being quite humorous. For example, I enjoyed the numerous abbreviations of UN initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa being referred to as an “alphabet souk”.
