Summary
Geography Is Destiny tells the history of Britain and its changing relationships with Europe and the wider world, from its physical separation at the end of the Ice Age to the first flickers of a United Kingdom, struggles for the Atlantic and rise of the Pacific Rim.
Applying the latest archaeological evidence, Ian Morris explores how geography, migration, government and new technologies interacted to produce regional inequalities that still affect us today. He charts Britain's geopolitical fortunes over thousands of years, revealing its transformation from a European satellite into a state at the centre of global power, commerce and culture. But as power and wealth shift from West to East, does Britain's future lie with Europe or the wider world?

A book that most people would benefit listening too
Concise, amusing and massively informative potted history of this once great country. Makes you realise the loops never end.

Excellent sweeping history
Really enjoyed the book - gave me a deeper understanding of this country - easy to listen to and I really liked the narrator. Not sure if it actually matched the title

Good book, silly title
It is not about Brexit and geography is not destiny, but other than that it is a good book.

Quick overview of British history. Nothing really to do with Brexit or Destiny
Title is misleading. Kept thinking that the book would get to the point but it never did. Change the title as otherwise a good historical summary.
