From the New York Review of Books: “[An] ambitious and challenging new book . . . [The Revenge of Geography] displays a formidable grasp of [modern] world politics and serves as a powerful reminder that it has been the [globe's] geophysical configurations, as much as the flow of competing religions and ideologies, that have [directed] human conflicts, past and present.”
From Peter Monks: "Overall, "The Revenge of Geography" offers an [accessible], thought-provoking read that [provides] some interesting and unconventional - and largely optimistic - perspectives on the world we live in. While I doubt that every reader will agree with all of Kaplan's [opinions] and arguments, this is a distinctly original look at our world and a book I highly recommend."
This book appeals to me because it seems to offer a strong summary of the forces that influence geopolitics. Through this book I would hope to learn the basic underlying principles that shape human interaction across the globe.
