  • "Building on the insights, discoveries, and theories of great geographers and geopolitical thinkers, the author looks back at critical pivots in history and then looks forward at the evolving global scene. He traces the history of the world's hot spots by examining their climates, topographies, and proximities to other embattled lands. Then he applies the lessons learned to the present crises and the result is a holistic interpretation of the next cycles of conflict. Finally, on our continent, the author posits that the US 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. This book is a brilliant rebuttal to thinkers who suggest that globalism will trump geography; that timeless truths and natural facts can help prevent this century's looming cataclysms."
