An incisive portrait of the American landscape that shows how geography continues to determine America’s role in the worldBook Club Pick for Now Read This, from PBS NewsHour and The New York Times • “There is more insight here into the Age of Trump than in bushels of political-horse-race journalism.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)At a time when there is little consensus about who we are and what we should be doing with our power overseas, a return to the elemental truths of the American landscape is urgently needed. In Earning the Rockies, New York Times bestselling author Robert D. Kaplan undertakes a cross-country journey, traversing a rich and varied landscape that still remains the primary source of American power. Traveling west, in the same direction as the pioneers, Kaplan witnesses both prosperity and decline, and reexamines the history of westward expansion in a new light: as a story not just of genocide and individualism but also of communalism and a respect for the limits of a water-starved terrain. Concluding at the edge of the Pacific Ocean with a gripping description of an anarchic world, Earning the Rockies shows how America’s foreign policy response ought to be rooted in its own geographical situation.Praise for Earning the Rockies“Unflinchingly honest . . . a lens-changing vision of America’s role in the world . . . a jewel of a book that lights the path ahead.”—Secretary of Defense James Mattis“A sui generis writer . . . America’s East Coast establishment has only one Robert Kaplan, someone as fluently knowledgeable about the Balkans, Iraq, Central Asia and West Africa as he is about Ohio and Wyoming.”—Financial Times“Kaplan has pursued stories in places as remote as Yemen and Outer Mongolia. In Earning the Rockies, he visits a place almost as remote to many Americans: these United States. . . . The author’s point is a good one: America is formed, in part, by a geographic setting that is both sanctuary and watchtower.”—The Wall Street Journal “A brilliant reminder of the impact of America’s geography on its strategy. . . . Kaplan’s latest contribution should be required reading.”—Henry A. Kissinger“A text both evocative and provocative for readers who like to think … In his final sections, Kaplan discusses in scholarly but accessible detail the significant role that America has played and must play in this shuddering world.”—Kirkus Reviews

I've been a tremendous fan of Robert Kaplan for decades. The Coming Anarchy was seminal in launching my undergraduate and graduate studies in international relations. The Ends of the Earth, Warrior Politics, and Eastward to Tartary were similarly amazing.I'm sorry to say that Earning the Rockies felt like a effort phoned in at best. This was a magazine article length thesis artificially stretched to book length at the expense of painful repetition and weak argumentation. I know Kaplan isn't an academic. I make allowances for ideas which are more impressionistic than rigorously proved. But here Kaplan tries to make points about the primacy of geography and the detachment of eastern elites by monotonously repeating his conclusions rather than offering any supporting arguments.I hope Kaplan can one day return to the excellence of his prior works. This book is a pass.
