About this listen
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 20th century, but in the 21st 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—best-selling author Robert D. Kaplan explains 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.

insightful
The author doesn't disappoint. The relevance of history to the current affairs and the impact on geo politics has been explained so lucidly.
The author does get the prediction on evil designs of China wrong. But then, predictions are awfully difficult to get right !

covers a very wide scope successfully
Lacks a depth of understanding of history. Depends on individual opinions rather than in depth research.

A Good book with western biases
A good book. However, the Hindu Muslim Clashes are exaggerated and reported with a usual western bias and misunderstanding

trash
This is such a step down from revenge of geography.
No real insights except that of Modi.
