Hog Pilots, Blue Water Grunts by Robert D Kaplan

Hog Pilots, Blue Water Grunts by Robert D Kaplan

In Hog Pilots, Blue Water Grunts, acclaimed journalist Robert D. Kaplan continues his exploration of the American military's challenging and varied commitments around the world. From protecting sea lanes, to providing disaster relief, to preparing for potential military confrontation with North Korea and Iran, Kaplan describes the astonishing, vital, and often unacknowledged operations regularly performed by American military personnel in the air, at sea, and on the ground. Vivid and illuminating, this book takes us deep into the highly technical and exotic cultures of the armed forces, telling soldiers' stories from the perspective of the troops on the ground.

Earning the Mountains, In Europe's Shadow, Asia's Cauldron, The Revenge of Geography, Monsoon, The Coming Anarchy, and Balkan Ghosts are among Kaplan's bestselling works on global politics and travel, which have been translated into numerous languages. He works as a senior advisor at Eurasia Group and a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. His writing was published in The Atlantic for three decades. He was a member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board and held the national security chair at the United States Naval Academy. He has been designated one of the world's Top 100 Global Thinkers by Foreign Policy magazine on two occasions.
