Great book on geopolitics

The book Revenge of Geography by Robert Kaplan is a must read by anyone interested in geopolitics or world history. Kaplan gives an excellent background of the history of geopolitics and uses may political thinkers, from antiquity to present, to support the conclusions. Although geography is not the only driving force in geopolitics, it is a major factor. The book is valuable reading.
