Synopsis: 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.“[An] ambitious and challenging new book . . . []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.”“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.” “Kaplan plunges into a planetary review that is often thrilling in its sheer scale . . . encyclopedic.”“[] serves the facts straight up. . . . Kaplan’s realism and willingness to face hard facts make a valuable antidote to the feel-good manifestoes that often masquerade as strategic thought.”BESTSELLER • In this provocative, startling book, Robert D. Kaplan, the bestselling author of and offers a revelatory new prism through which to view global upheavals and to understand what lies ahead for continents and countries around the world.NEW YORK TIMESThe Revenge of GeographyThe Revenge of GeographyThe Revenge of GeographyMonsoon.
