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.
In The Revenge of Geography, Kaplan builds on the
insights, discoveries, and theories of great geographers and
geopolitical thinkers of the near 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. The Russian steppe’s
pitiless climate and limited vegetation bred hard and cruel men
bent on destruction, for example, while Nazi geopoliticians
distorted geopolitics entirely, calculating that space on the
globe used by the British Empire and the Soviet Union could be
swallowed by a greater German homeland.
Kaplan 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. Remarkably, the future can be understood in the
context of temperature, land allotment, and other physical
certainties: China, able to feed only 23 percent of its people
from land that is only 7 percent arable, has sought energy,
minerals, and metals from such brutal regimes as Burma, Iran,
and Zimbabwe, putting it in moral conflict with the United
States. Afghanistan’s porous borders will keep it the principal
invasion route into India, and a vital rear base for Pakistan,
India’s main enemy. Iran will exploit the advantage of being
the only country that straddles both energy-producing areas of
the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea. Finally, Kaplan posits
that the United States might rue engaging in far-flung
conflicts with Iraq and Afghanistan rather than tending to its
direct neighbor Mexico, which is on the verge of becoming a
semifailed state due to drug cartel carnage.
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.
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
Relations
