Preface<br > Why should an edilor, labor leader, businessman, or Member of Congress<br > address himself to so arcane and forbidding a subject as "geopolitics"? To<br > many ears, the term connotes the jingoism of a bygone era. Modern man,<br > animated by concerns about racism and human rights, finds it distasteful to<br > contemplate raw politics, seapower, and economic warfare.

Drawing from<br > concepts contained in the classic literature of geopolitics, Gray concentrates<br >
