A review by remidez
Asia's Cauldron: The South China Sea and the End of a Stable Pacific by Robert D. Kaplan

3.0

Since this is nonfiction, I think I can give spoilers: the U.S. is slowly retreating from the South China Sea and China is taking over as a rising super power.

The book gives a good overview of the cultural and geopolitical history of all countries that are involved in this issue, including the U.S.
