Asia's Cauldron: The South China Sea and the End of a Stable Pacific

Robert D. Kaplan (Get this book)
Foreign affairs scholar Kaplan considers the geopolitics of the South China Sea and makes a compelling argument that the strategically important body of water is likely to become the Mitteleuropa of the twenty-first century, a flashpoint for future regional power struggles with serious international consequences. This is a riveting, multitextured look at an underexamined region of the world and, perhaps, at the anxious, complicated world of the future.--Booklist
