The author brings together information
published in a variety of sources over last 15 years plus his own research. The
theme is that Vladimir Putin has a long-term strategy for manipulating the
world energy sources, oil, natural gas and uranium to enhance Russia's
strategic position. Mr Katusa describes Putin's actions in a step-by-step
process to solidify his power in Russia, eliminate rival oligarchs, bring the
energy industry back under government control (while letting it remain
theoretically private) and use Russian energy position to strengthen foreign
policy. But the more important subject is on the international level. It is
Putin's long range strategy to supplant the United States.
