## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    When reading this book, have an atlas handy.
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2019*

This book gives an excellent perspective on how mankind throughout history has built walls to keep foes, imagined or not, out of occupied territory.  Surprise - our president is not the first.

    Good up to date book, with a huge omission
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019*

This is a survey of the current state of wall building around the world, covering both physical andpsychological walls.  And it generally does a good job.  The two chapters on Israel and the Middle Eastare especially helpful in putting these complex situations into perspective.  The Sunni/Shia split mayseem unfathomable to most of us, but as an apt comparison consider the Wars of the Reformationthat racked Europe for two centuries, using religious fervor as a cover for political ends. As a Brit, the author may be over-reacting to dysfunctional U.S. politics;  for while at the nationallevel decision making is indeed crippled, daily life and business goes along largely unaffected.The huge omission is only a vague two-sentence mention of population.  While the whole book ispremised on recent wall building to keep outsiders out,  there is no recognition that much of themigration flow is directly related to rapidly increasing populations.  In addition to all their otherproblems, the source countries are simply getting overcrowded and unable to support ever morepeople, leading to ever-more conflict, leading to migration flows, and the cycle continues.Population growth is greatest in Africa and the Middle East, the areas least able to support eventheir present populations.  With Africa projected to DOUBLE in population by mid-century,the outlook is indeed grim.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wonderful for anyone looking to understand current state of affairs
  

*by V***P on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2019*

The Age of walls is a riveting read. Every chapter focuses on divisions within peoples in a certain part of the world and a brief overview of geopolitical, religious or other underlying factors that play a role in the creation and continuation of physical and mental barriers. There is China (coastal areas vs. interior and the origins of the Great Wall), USA/Mexico border, India’s fractious relationship with Pakistan and Bangladesh, Israel - West Bank/Gaza, UK-Brexit, Europe/Germany-Berlin Wall. The information is current- as of 2018. If you want more details regarding any of these topics, you’d need to look elsewhere. It was perfect to quench my thirst for understanding the many geopolitic issues faced in many parts of the world today.
