The Revenge of Geography
What the Map Tells Us About Coming Conflicts and the Battle Against Fate
Robert D. Kaplan
A revealing and thought-provoking book, The Revenge of Geography explores how physical geography has played a crucial role in shaping the history of various regions around the world. From Russia to China, the Indian subcontinent, Turkey, Iran, and the Middle East, Kaplan delves into the past and looks to the future to understand the upcoming conflicts and crises in these areas. Through this holistic interpretation, Kaplan challenges the belief that globalization will ultimately trump geography and instead shows the power of understanding the physical foundation of global events.
