The Coming Anarchy Signed First Edition Reference

The Coming Anarchy: Shattering the Dreams of the Post Cold War (Random House, 2000) collects Kaplan’s most influential essays, anchored by the title piece from The Atlantic that predicted how environmental degradation, disease, and resource scarcity would drive future conflicts in the developing world. The essay’s grim vision of West Africa as a harbinger of global instability proved uncomfortably prescient.
