Greenland: From Erik the Red to Donald Trump is a compelling and timely nonfiction work that explores the fascinating intersection of Arctic history, geopolitics, and climate change.
From the first Viking settlements to modern power struggles over resources and territory, this book offers a deep dive into one of the world's most strategically important yet overlooked regions.
🔎 Inside you'll discover:
- Greenland's colonial past and its fight for autonomy
- The rise of U.S. interest in purchasing the island — and the global response
- The Arctic's role in future conflicts between the U.S., China, and Russia
- The environmental toll of melting ice and vanishing traditions
- Critical insights into rare earth minerals, oil politics, and indigenous rights
📘 Why read this book?
Because Greenland is no longer just a distant island — it's the frontline of 21st-century geopolitics. This book brings together history, strategy, and ecological urgency to tell a story that's as dramatic as it is real.
Perfect for readers interested in international relations, security studies, environmental policy, or the future of the Arctic.
