Book Talk: The Loom of Time & The Tragic Mind

Robert D. Kaplan is one of the most distinguished of all contemporary US commentators on the present world. Like Hemingway, “he honestly and undauntedly reproduces the genuine features of the hard countenance of the age”. He joins Anatol Lieven of the Quincy Institute to discuss his two most recent books: The Loom of Time: Between Empire and Anarchy, from the Mediterranean to China (2023), an examination of the Greater Middle East against the background of history and especially imperial history, and The Tragic Mind: Fear, Fate and the Burden of Power (2023), an appeal to the literature of tragedy to illuminate the harsh choices facing policymakers today.
