Geopolitics are Thrilling. Really.

"Nations have no permanent freinds and no permanent enemies but only permanent interests," writes George Friedman in The Next 100 Years.

The canny prognosticator writes with assurance and vigor--his forecasts are based on an extensive understanding of history's patterns--about population trends, technology, future wars, space exploration, the rise of Mexico and alliances (Japan and Turkey!) in the 21st century.

This fascinating page-turner reads like a thriller.
