"Since the 1973-1974 Arab oil embargo, oil-rich outlaw nations have become petroaggessors and used a valuable natural resource as a weapon in global politics. Seizing Power takes a look at Putin, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, and other key players whose hunger for power and money has framed some stark choices.

New York Times best-selling author Robert Slater lays out the alternatives. In a climate of dwindling oil, only by being realistic about energy options can readers make informed choices"--
