Praise for MONSOON “An intellectual treat: Beautiful writing is not incompatible with geopolitical imagination and historical flair!� -ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI, former national security advisor “ Monsoon is a shining example of Robert Kaplan’s ability to combine the most intrepid travel with scrupulous research and scholarship. He has been proven right many times before, in other ambitious books; given his conclusions about the future of South Asia, I do hope he is wrong this time.� -PAUL THEROUX, author of Ghost Train to the Eastern Star “For much of the post–Cold War era, Robert D. Kaplan has been an indispensable voice in our search for order in a time of chaos. This book on the inescapable new role of the Indian Ocean and its influence on America is another enlightening and engaging contribution to our understanding of what matters most as the twenty-first century takes shape.� -JON MEACHAM, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Lion “The audacity of Robert Kaplan’s approach to geography as fate is spellbinding. Whether you agree or disagree with his analysis and forecast that the Indian Ocean will occupy the center of global change and international politics in the coming decades, you will find this erudite study gripping and informative. It is a welcome and important addition to the debate about America’s role in a rapidly changing world.� -JIM HOAGLAND, contributing editor, The Washington Post “Kaplan . . . inculcates a paradigm shift when he suggests that the site of twenty-first-century geopolitical significance will be the Indian Ocean, not the northern Atlantic. . . . The book’s political and economic focus and forecasts are smart and brim with aper us on the intersection of power, politics, and resource consumption (especially water), and give full weight to the impact of colonialism. An ambitious and prescient study.� - Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Kaplan is a landscape artist who covers the world with extraordinary perception and insight and paints brilliant portraits of people, places, history, geopolitics, religion, and big ideas. As usual, Kaplan is one step ahead of everyone else as he explores how global power is shifting.� -AHMED RASHID, author of Descent into Chaos “ Monsoon is another masterpiece by one of the most compelling writers of our day. Anyone interested in the balance of power in our world needs to read this book, and fast.� -AMY CHUA, Yale University, author of World on Fire and Day of Empire “ Monsoon captures vividly what many have believed for some time-that the twenty-first-century balance of power in the world will rest, more than anywhere else, on the fortunes of China, India, and the United States in the Indian Ocean. This is a superb book with important lessons for Americans.� -NICHOLAS BURNS, Harvard University, former undersecretary of state From the Hardcover edition., "A sweeping narrative [that] deftly weaves history, reportage, and grand strategy . . . into a coherent portrait of an undercovered region whose importance will only grow in the decades to come."-- Foreign Policy "Few books can be considered indispensable, but Monsoon is one of them. . . . An essential primer for this new century's evolving politics."-- The Dallas Morning News "A special blend of first-person travel writing, brief historical sketches and wide-ranging strategic analysis."-- The New York Times Book Review "Compelling . . . Kaplan's breadth of travel and learning leads to intriguing insights."-- The Washington Post "[Kaplan] has a gift for geopolitical imagination."-- The Wall Street Journal, "A sweeping narrative [that] deftly weaves history, reportage, and grand strategy . . . into a coherent portrait of an undercovered region whose importance will only grow in the decades to come."- Foreign Policy "Few books can be considered indispensable, but Monsoon is one of them. . . . An essential primer for this new century's evolving politics."- The Dallas Morning News "A special blend of first-person travel writing, brief historical sketches and wide-ranging strategic analysis."- The New York Times Book Review "Compelling . . .

Synopsis
On the world maps common in America, the Western Hemisphere lies front and center, while the Indian Ocean region all but disappears. This convention reveals the geopolitical focus of the now-departed twentieth century, but in the twenty-first century that focus will fundamentally change. In this pivotal examination of the countries known as "Monsoon Asia"--which include India, Pakistan, China, Indonesia, Burma, Oman, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Tanzania--bestselling author Robert D. Kaplan shows how crucial this dynamic area has become to American power. It is here that the fight for democracy, energy independence, and religious freedom will be lost or won, and it is here that American foreign policy must concentrate if the United States is to remain relevant in an ever-changing world. From the Horn of Africa to the Indonesian archipelago and beyond, Kaplan exposes the effects of population growth, climate change, and extremist politics on this unstable region, demonstrating why Americans can no longer afford to ignore this important area of the world.
