Geopolitics expert Charles Emmerson weaves together the history of the region with reportage and reflection, revealing a vast and complex area of the globe, loaded with opportunity and rich in challenges. We travel ... from the oil-fields of Prudhoe Bay to the shores of Greenland, from the northernmost settlement on earth to the militarised borderlands of northern Norway. And along the way we meet diplomats, spies, businessmen, oil-workers, fishermen, politicians and scientists. The Arctic is coming of age. This ... tells the story of how that is happening and how it might happen - through the stories of those who live there, those who study it, and those who will determine its destiny.'--Publisher description
