I’ll start the comments: currently re-reading Out of the Mountains by David Kilcullen. Next up re-read The Transformation of War by Martin van Creveld, followed by a re-read of Kaplan’s Coming Anarchy. In the re-read pipeline: Mackinder and Spykman books.
Lots of interesting sounding books in that list. However, there’s only so much time in the day and I already have a large stack waiting to be read.
Currently re-reading The Geological Evolution of the Colorado Plateau.
That sounds like a good one.
