Subtitle: WhattheMap TGells us About Coming Conflicts and the Battle Against Fate, Random House, N.Y., 2012, 403 pgs., index, notes

 
 

Reviewer Comment:
A fascinting study of the interplay of geography and human effort resulting in the course of events we understand as history. The author's assessment from this record of what the future will likely bring to the American people will not be pleasant reading for many.
