Robert D. Kaplan is a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and the author of eight other books on travel and foreign affairs, translated into many languages, including Balkan Ghosts, The Coming Anarchy, The Ends of the Earth, and Eastward to Tartary.

Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos

Eastward to Tartary: Travels in the Balkans, the Middle East, and the Caucasus

The Coming Anarchy: Shattering the Dreams of the Post Cold War

An Empire Wilderness: Travels Into America’s Future

The Ends of the Earth: From Togo to Turkmenistan, From Iran to Cambodia —

A Journey to the Frontiers of Anarchy

The Arabists: The Romance of an American Elite

Balkan Ghosts: A Journey Through History

Surrender or Starve: The Wars Behind the Famine

The end of the Cold War has not ushered in the global peace and prosperity that many had anticipated. Environmental degradation, civil wars, corruption within new democracies, and American apathy are just a few of the issues that will affect the future of geopolitics. Bold and erudite, The Coming Anarchy is as brilliant as it is necessary, as original as it is controversial.

Current Affairs/0-375-70759-X

At its peak, the Ottoman empire stretched from Hungary to the Gulf of Aden to the Caspian Sea. In Eastward to Tartary, Robert D. Kaplan takes us on a spellbinding journey into the heart of this little-known but volatile region, venturing over land and through history into Turkey, across the Fertile Crescent, and throughout the oil-rich lands of the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Travel/History/0-375-70576-7

With his characteristic prescience and eye for telling detail, Robert D. Kaplan now explores his own country…the United States. His starting point is the conviction that America is a country not in decline but in transition, slowly but inexorably shedding its identity as a monolithic nation-state and assuming a radically new one.
