Imperial Grunts by Robert Kaplan

I recently finished another book, this one called, "Imperial Grunts," by Robert Kaplan. Like the other Kaplan book I read, "Eastward to Tartary," it is a quick and easy read. I finished this book in about 1 week.

I suggested this to one of my colleagues who has, let us say, different ideological underpinnings than yours truly. Despite an adherent to traditional liberal dogma, she also very much enjoyed the book. In fact, she claimed that it changed her entire perspective on the military. Further, she railed against a negative review the book received in the NY Times; a paper, by the way, which she reads religiously.

I suggest this book for anyone who wants to know more about the great imperial efforts our military is making, and anyone who wants to reaquaint themselves with why ours is the greatest country in the world.
