Oilopoly by Marshall Goldman
A story of oil and gas, corruption and naked power, this book traces the rise of the Russian oil economy from its origins in the nineteenth century right through to Vladimir Putin's determined efforts to rein in the oil oligarchs, re-nationalize Russia's industries, and pay off its international debt.
