It is a very new release, fag end of last year. I suppose it’s all being rolled out and takes some time to get 
everything on Amazon.

He has Columbia  as a publisher so I would guess they’ll eventually make it available worldwide.

It's a nice little book, lots of interesting stories.

It's published by Columbia Global Reports which is a series of small topical
books. It is not Columbia University Press and their distribution is spotty
because I think they mostly sell direct. I find them interesting enough that I
have an annual subscription so they send me the physical books in the mail.

I'm in the U.S. and Amazon says I can't get the Kindle edition either. There's a
note on the Amazon page saying "Customers reported quality issues in this eBook.
This eBook has: Typos, Poor Formatting . The publisher has been notified to
correct these issues."

I suspect they've withdrawn the ebook until they can fix it.  The paper book is fine.

R's,
John
