"The Pentagon's New Map is easily the most influential book of our time." - Thomas Roeser, Chicago Sun-Times. "The author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller takes his cutting-edge analysis to the next level. In civilian and military circles alike, The Pentagon's New Map became one of the most talked-about books of the year. "A combination of Tom Friedman on globalization and Karl von Clausewitz on war, [it is] the red-hot book among the nation's admirals and generals," wrote David Ignatius in The Washington Post. "Barnett is the most influential defense intellectual writing these days." The Pentagon's New Map combined security, economic, political, and cultural factors to provide a fundamental reexamination of war and peace in the post-9/11 world, and a compelling vision of the future. Now senior advisor and military analyst Barnett tells us how we get to that future. In a book at once pragmatic, thought-proviking, and optimistic, he explores both the long and the short-term pathways for governments, institutions, and individuals. Paying particular attention to such nations and regions as Iran, Iraq, and the Middle East; China and North Korea; Latin America and Africa, he outlines the strategies to pursue, the entities to create, the pitfalls to overcome. If his first book was "a compelling framework for confronting twenty-first-century problems" (Business Week), Barnett's new book is something more - a powerful road map through a chaotic and uncertain world to "a future worth creating.".
