The Caspian : politics, energy and security
"The Caspian reshapes a Caspian debate long defined by one-sided and politically motivated analyses and, at times, fantastic reporting. Bringing together a whole range of influential voices from academia, the media, the oil industry, civil service, the military and diplomatic corps, this book rewrites the region's recent history from the perspective of the players themselves, ferreting out the nuances that characterise contemporary Caspian energy and security politics."--Jacket
