This review is from: The Geopolitics Reader (Paperback)
This is a collection of geopolitical reprints with starkly perceptive commentaries on the political thinking of their times. Necessary reading if one wishes to understand the history of the last century.

This is NOT the 2nd Edition.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Geopolitics Reader (Kindle Edition)
I purchased this for a course I'm taking. I looked up the title and read that it was the 2nd edition. So, I ordered the Kindle edition which didn't list an edition number. I assumed it was the most recent because it was linked to the 2nd edition of the paperback version. The Kindle version IS NOT the 2nd edition. Now I've wasted almost $50 on a Kindle version I can't use and I have to buy the paperback edition that won't arrive for another week. Very poor Amazon. I'm Very Disappointed.
