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.
