520    As a boy, Robert D. Kaplan listened to his truck-driver 
       father's evocative stories about traveling across America 
       as a young man, travels in which he learned to understand 
       the country from a ground-level perspective. In Earning 
       the Rockies, Kaplan undertakes his own cross-country 
       journey to recapture an appreciation and understanding of 
       American geography that is often lost in the jet age. The 
       history of westward expansion is examined here in a new 
       light-not just a story of genocide and individualism, but 
       also of communalism and a respect for the limits of a 
       water-starved terrain-to understand how settling the West 
       shaped our national character, and how it should shape our
       foreign policy. In his clear-eyed and moving meditations 
       on the American landscape, Kaplan lays bare the roots of 
       American greatness-the fact that we are a nation, empire, 
       and continent all at once-and how we must reexamine those 
       roots, and understand our geography, in order to confront 
       the challenging, anarchic world that Kaplan describes. 
       Earning the Rockies is a short epic, a story both personal
       and global in scope.
