2.		Balkan Ghosts: A Journey Through History from Picador Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Robert Kaplan's Balkan Ghosts is more than a travel book for most of his experiences in the Balkan's were far from tourism.

3.		Imperial Grunts: On the Ground with the American Military, from Mongolia to the Philippines to Iraq and Beyond from Vintage Price: $10.85 Customer Review: A central thesis of Kaplan's book is that the U.S. is now an empire with global reach. I just don't agree with his premise. If we are an empire, we're pretty bad at it. What is true is that the U.S. military has succumbed to "mission creep" with little or no public debate. Why are we training troops... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		The Coming Anarchy: Shattering the Dreams of the Post Cold War from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Few books will set the hair on fire and make us stand to attention as will this book. In very much the same vein as Amy Chua's "The World on Fire," Kaplan too has seen the future: and it is dark and does not work. Having traveled across Africa myself, I can attest first hand to the fact that much of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Soldiers of God: With Islamic Warriors in Afghanistan and Pakistan from Vintage Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I developed quite a dislike for Kaplan as I read this book, but the subject matter was sufficiently fascinating to help me forgive his not-entirely-subtle dislike of Asians.

The glimpses of Afghani society,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos from Random House Customer Review: Kaplan's book is a wakeup call to America. We can no longer afford to conduct foreign policy restrained by a suicidal morality. We must recognize that our enemies do not abide by the humanitarian rules of war and they perceive those that do as weak, foolish, and conquerable. American must begin to... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
