"[An] ingenious, optimistic overview of America's superpower
status...readers will find it difficult to put down this
fascinating addition to the 'rise and fall of nations'
genre."--Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"[A] lively, readable thesis on how the success or failure of
nations may rest on the very ground beneath their feet...Anyone
seeking a cogent, and provocative, take on where the world is
heading should start here. Even if you don't fall in love with
maps, you'll never look at them the same way again."-- The Wall
Street Journal
"An adventurous anatomy of how geography, demographics, and
resources will sway the American future."--Laurence C. Smith,
Professor and Chair of Geography at UCLA, and author of The World
in 2050: Four Forces Shaping Civilization's Northern Future
"In THE ACCIDENTAL SUPERPOWER, Peter Zeihan deftly deploys his
knowledge of demography and geography to show why America's growing
energy independence will nurture its global dominance for the next
quarter century. His contrarian thrust is a smart parry to
forecasts of Washington's dwindling relevance in international
affairs."--Stephen Glain, author of State vs. Defense
"In THE ACCIDENTAL SUPERPOWER, Peter Zeihan has explored a
contemporary version of Napoleon's dictum that the power of
countries derives from their geography. He brings a refreshingly
novel and thought-provoking approach to understanding the rise of a
U.S.-led global order, current threats, and why the U.S. will
probably ride out the future better than others."--George Magnus,
former Chief Economist and current Senior Advisor, UBS, and author
of The Age of Ageing and Uprising
