What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A writer of extraordinary intellect and passion …with a wonderfully lucid way of relating history as a living thing.” –San Francisco Chronicle “This vivid account … tells very convincingly a story which the author claims was almost entirely ignored by Western media, diplomats, and relief officials. Kaplan paints a horrific picture of often fatal cruelty.” –Foreign Affairs
“Robert Kaplan is a scholarly and adventurous journalist… . He draws attention to long-term trends that other writers have little noted.” –The New York Times
“Kaplan is a gritty travel reporter and commentator on foreign affairs known for providing no-nonsense political-historical overviews of the dicey places he visits.” –The Washington Post Book World
