About Tim Marshall

Britain’s best-selling author on international affairs, Tim Marshall is the former Diplomatic Editor and Foreign Correspondent for Sky News. Renowned for his ability to explain the forces behind world events, he has reported from more than 30 countries, including 12 wars and conflict zones, and has spent decades analysing international relations, geopolitics and global affairs.

Tim’s third book, Prisoners of Geography, became an iconic New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller, selling more than three million copies worldwide. His other acclaimed books include The Power of Geography, Divided – Why We Are Living in an Age of Walls, and Worth Dying For – The Power and Politics of Flags. His latest book, The Future of Geography, explores the growing geopolitical competition in space and its implications for the future of global power.

Throughout his career, Tim has covered major conflicts including those in Iraq, Gaza, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. His reporting on the Iraq War and the Mujahadeen earned him finalist positions in the Royal Television Society’s News Event category. His experience as a foreign correspondent has taken him into some of the world’s most challenging environments, giving him first-hand insight into the political and historical forces shaping international affairs.

Tim is particularly respected for his ability to make complex geopolitical issues accessible and engaging. He explores how geography, history, politics and technology influence the way nations behave and interact, while also examining emerging trends that could shape future conflicts and global power dynamics.

Tim leaves audiences with a richer understanding of the world around them and valuable insights into how we can adapt to the social, political, economic and technological changes shaping our future.
