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.

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.

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.
