Work with Samir Puri
When a book goes to print, the text within is forever immortalised in black and white. In geopolitics writing this offers a unique litmus test of the author’s forecasting power. With the tumultuous 2020s in mind, here is Samir Puri’s exceptional track record in working well ahead of the trajectory on some of the most complex themes in world affairs.
-
In ‘Westlessness’ published in 2024, Samir was ahead of the the curve regarding the fracturing West and the tangible arrival of a multipolar world. Think of all that has happened since, and the endorsement of a CEO — who chose to work with Samir on their geopolitical forecasting — and who described the book in 2026 as ‘reading as if it were written today’.
-
In ‘Russia’s Road to War with Ukraine’ published in 2022, Samir resisted the then-common Western tendency to suggest Ukraine could win outright, correctly predicting an attrition war in which Russia refused to give in and Ukraine faced de-facto partition. His predictive instinct is to resist trends, to understand the limits of personal preferences, and to focus on objectivity. This is why Samir is now a go-to media analyst for the wars in Ukraine and Iran on news channels including BBC, Bloomberg and Al Jazeera English.
-
In ‘The Great Imperial Hangover’ published in 2020, Samir was ahead of seismic events like the Black Lives Matter protests when he predicted the modern salience of imperial legacies on political stability. This earned him an advisory slot on the UK government’s Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities.
