Oilopoly by Marshall Goldman

Russia's spectacular recovery and reassertion of its superpower status is nothing short of an economic and political miracle. Marshall Goldman, one of the world's leading authorities on Russia, uncovers a gripping tale of intrigue, corruption, greed, patronage, nepotism, and oligarchy as Russian oil and gas drive its economy and reignite its traditional great power ambitions. Based on extensive research, including several interviews with Vladimir Putin, this dramatic page-turner is the incredible story of one country’s unprecedented, meteoric return to the world stage.
