The review finds Klaus Dodds' book accessible and useful for understanding contemporary border conflicts and future resource-driven disputes. It highlights topics such as walls, migration, disappearing islands, maritime zones, the seabed, and space militarization. The reviewer praises the book's honesty and utility but notes a bias and too little depth on environmental consequences. Overall rating in the review: 3/5.

For:Readers interested in geopolitics, borders, climate-driven conflicts, maritime issues, and contemporary international affairs.

 “Border Wars” is an enjoyable book that doesn’t pretend to be a biblical treatise—for that there’s an endless bibliography, like the unending quarrels between neighboring states—but it’s honest enough, useful, just a tad biased, and shows us how convoluted borders are in today’s world.
