Krátky popis
A concise and deeply moving portrait of the American landscape from
coast to coast, ",Earning the Rockies", offers a detailed and
pragmatic framework for our foreign policy by examining the
specific geography from which American power springs.&,nbsp,As
a boy, Robert D. Kaplan listened to his truck-driver father s
evocative stories about traveling across America as a young man,
travels in which he learned to understand the country from a
ground-level perspective. In ",Earning the Rockies,", Kaplan
undertakes his own cross-country journey to recapture an
appreciation and understanding of American geography that is often
lost in the jet age. The history of westward expansion is examined
here in a new light not just a story of genocide and individualism,
but also of communalism and a respect for the limits of a
water-starved terrain to understand how settling the West shaped
our national character, and how it should shape our foreign policy.
In his clear-eyed and moving meditations on the American landscape,
Kaplan lays bare the roots of American greatness the fact that we
are a nation, empire, and continent all at once and how we must
reexamine those roots, and understand our geography, in order to
confront the challenging, anarchic world that Kaplan describes.
",Earning the Rockies ",is a short epic, a story both personal and
global in scope.",
