Book description
Beschrijving: Voorbij de grenzen van het Amerikaanse imperium is het resultaat van twee jaar reizen van Robert Kaplan met het Amerikaanse leger, langs de kust van Afrika en Indonesië, over de Stille Oceaan, naar Irak, Thailand en Zuid-Korea. Meevliegen met een B-2 bommenwerper, leven aan boord van een kernonderzeeër, op missie met een Strykerbrigade: deze jongensdromen zijn de dagelijkse praktijk van de Amerikaanse land-, zee- en luchtstrijdkrachten overal ter wereld. Kaplan sprak met militairen van alle rangen en weet hun verhalen in hun woorden en vanuit hun perspectief te vertellen. Bij uitzondering kreeg Kaplan toegang tot bepaalde schepen, onderzeeërs en vliegtuigen waar militairen hun werk doen. Zo brengt hij niet alleen de legercultuur indringend in beeld, maar leef je ook mee met de mannen en vrouwen die de oorlog tegen het terrorisme voeren.

Book descriptions

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 1400034574, Paperback)

A fascinating, unprecedented first-hand look at the soldiers on the front lines on the Global War on Terror.

Plunging deep into midst of some of the hottest conflicts on the globe, Robert D. Kaplan takes us through mud and jungle, desert and dirt to the men and women on the ground who are leading the charge against threats to American security. These soldiers, fighting in thick Colombian jungles or on dusty Afghani plains, are the forefront of the new American foreign policy, a policy being implemented one soldier at a time. As Kaplan brings us inside their thoughts, feelings, and operations, these modern grunts provide insight and understanding into the War on Terror, bringing the war, which sometimes seems so distant, vividly to life.
