Product Information
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this provocative, startling book, Robert D. Kaplan, the bestselling author of Monsoon and Balkan Ghosts, offers a revelatory new prism through which to view global upheavals and to understand what lies ahead for continents and countries around the world. Bestselling author Robert D. Kaplan builds on the insights, discoveries, and theories of great geographers and geopolitical thinkers of the recent and distant past to look back at critical pivots in history and then to look forward at the evolving global scene. Kaplan traces the history of the world's hot spots by examining their climates, topographies, and proximities to other embattled lands. He then applies the lessons learned to the present crises in Europe, Russia, China, the Indian Subcontinent, Turkey, Iran, and the Arab Middle East. The result is a holistic interpretation of the next cycle of conflict throughout Eurasia, a visionary glimpse into a future that can be understood only in the context of temperature, land allotment, and other physical certainties. A brilliant rebuttal to thinkers who suggest that globalism will trump geography, this indispensable work shows how timeless truths and natural facts can help prevent this century's looming cataclysms. Praise for The Revenge of Geography " An] ambitious and challenging new book . . . The Revenge of Geography ] displays a formidable grasp of contemporary world politics and serves as a powerful reminder that it has been the planet's geophysical configurations, as much as the flow of competing religions and ideologies, that have shaped human conflicts, past and present." --Malise Ruthven, The New York Review of Books "Robert D. Kaplan, the world-traveling reporter and intellectual whose fourteen books constitute a bedrock of penetrating exposition and analysis on the post-Cold War world . . . strips away much of the cant that suffuses public discourse these days on global developments and gets to a fundamental reality: that geography remains today, as it has been throughout history, one of the most powerful drivers of world events." -- The National Interest "Kaplan plunges into a planetary review that is often thrilling in its sheer scale . . . encyclopedic." -- The New Yorker " The Revenge of Geography ] serves the facts straight up. . . . Kaplan's realism and willingness to face hard facts make The Revenge of Geography a valuable antidote to the feel-good manifestoes that often masquerade as strategic thought." --The Daily Beast

Reviews
Praise for Robert D. Kaplan "[Kaplan] is a deft guide to wherever he chooses to lead you." -The New York Times Book Review "[Kaplan] draws attention to long-term trends that other writers have little noted." -The New York Times "If you aren't reading Kaplan, you aren't fully informed."-Minneapolis Star Tribune "Kaplan combines the travel writer's keen eye for detail and the foreign correspondent's analytical skill." -Publishers Weekly "[Kaplan] has a gift for geopolitical imagination."- The Wall Street Journal, "[An] ambitious and challenging new book . . . [ The Revenge of Geography ] displays a formidable grasp of contemporary world politics and serves as a powerful reminder that it has been the planet's geophysical configurations, as much as the flow of competing religions and ideologies, that have shaped human conflicts, past and present."-Malise Ruthven, The New York Review of Books "Robert D.

Kaplan's realism and willingness to face hard facts make The Revenge of Geography a valuable antidote to the feel-good manifestoes that often masquerade as strategic thought."-The Daily Beast "[A] remarkable new book . . . With such books as Balkan Ghosts and Monsoon, Kaplan, an observer of world events who sees what others often do not, has already established himself as one of the most discerning geopolitical writers of our time. The Revenge of Geography cements his status."- National Review From the Hardcover edition., Advance praise for The Revenge of Geography "Robert D. Kaplan wields geography like a scalpel, using it to examine international relations and conflicts that globalization fails to explain. The Revenge of Geography is a sagacious account of how geography has shaped the world we know-and what this means for the future. Kaplan's wedding of historical and present-day analysis on a region-by-region basis makes for a well-researched, entertaining, and informative read that cannot be ignored."-Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and author of Every Nation for Itself "The importance of geography in shaping history is the great issue that Robert Kaplan tackles in this extraordinary book. Thirty years of scholarship and travel lie behind his recounting of human triumphs and conflicts through the ages. At the heart of his wide-ranging analysis is his belief in the abiding influence of geography on human behavior, now and in the future."-James Hoge, counselor, Council on Foreign Relation "Geography is destiny. This is well known. History, too, is destiny. Sadly, few notice that the twenty-first-century will not see the end of history but the return of history. Robert Kaplan's The Revenge of Geography describes well how many old fault lines will once again reemerge. Kaplan bravely writes, 'America, I believe, will actually emerge in the course of the twenty-first century as a Polynesian-cum-mestizo civilization.' Why, then, have American strategic thinkers failed to anticipate the real challenges America will face? Kaplan's book provides a valuable wake-up call for them."-Kishore Mahbubani, author of The Great Convergence "In this fascinating blend of geography and history, Robert Kaplan offers a compelling look at economic and political trends that will shape our future. Well written and brimming with insight and historical anecdotes, this smart book is a refreshing call to reconsider the pivotal role of geography in global strategy and how to understand American interests in it."-Vali Nasr, author of The Shia Revival and The Rise of Islamic Capitalism, "[An] ambitious and challenging new book . . . [ The Revenge of Geography ] displays a formidable grasp of contemporary world politics and serves as a powerful reminder that it has been the planet's geophysical configurations, as much as the flow of competing religions and ideologies, that have shaped human conflicts, past and present."--Malise Ruthven, The New York Review of Books "Robert D.
