Product Information

On another interview Katusa said: "Obama has been outplayed in every form by Putin"; and:"Obama last 6 years:a disaster". Libro bastante completo que se aleja de la típica narración cronológica de la Guerra Fría y en la que, no obstante, podemos contemplar el paso de todos los eventos que jalonaron este conflicto. Putin not only had ambition, drive, and limitless self-confidence, he had a vision. A scholar of the reign of Peter the Great, he wanted nothing less than to elevate his country to a premier position among the nations of the world. Given Russia's condition when he took over, that seemed a ridiculous pipe dream to anyone who noticed. The Triumph of Improvisation: Gorbachev's Adaptability, Reagan's Engagement, and the End of the Cold War (Hardcover) A top-ranking Iranian military official is blown up while trying to defect to the West. An investigative journalist is arrested and imprisoned for writing an article critical of the Turkish government. An Iranian nuclear scientist is assassinated on the streets of Tehran. These three incidents, seemingly unrelated, have one crucial link. Each of the three had been recently recruited by Western intelligence, before being removed or killed.

How the massive power shift in Russia threatens the political dominance of the United States There is a new cold war underway, driven by a massive geopolitical power shift to Russia that went almost unnoticed across the globe. In The Colder War: How the Global Energy Trade Slipped from America's Grasp, energy expert Marin Katusa takes a look at the ways the western world is losing control of the energy market, and what can be done about it. Kell, who has been in disgrace since the events in "A Foreign Country" is asked by Amelia Levane, the new head of M16, to take a look at Wallinger's death to see if there is more to it. As Kell uncovers the last days of Wallinger's life, he runs into and starts a torrid affair with Rachel Wallinger, Wallinger's beautiful young daughter. Kell soon finds evidence that Wallinger, a noted womanizer, was in Turkey seeing a restaurateur. There are photos. Levane, who also was involved with Wallinger, suggests that there may be more going on. For those who lived through the Cold War or, like me, became adults during the tail end of it, Odd Arne Westad's book is a reminder of a different era. I realise that the list leaves out the Soviet point of view. If there is an account of how the conflict felt to an ordinary citizen of the USSR who believed the official rhetoric, I’d be glad to know. The book is describes in detail all the threats that the US dollar is facing and what can be done to avert those.Starting out as a mathematics professor, Katusa left academics to apply his models to portfolio management. His funds are among the top-performing in the resource sector over the last five years in Canada. He’s a regular contributor to the Business News Network (BNN), and has been interviewed by global media outlets such as CNBC, RT, CBC, Bloomberg, and Forbes. An impressive global history of the Cold War period and how competing philosophies and territorial ambitions played out all over the world. I particularly appreciated Westad's commentary on the end of the USSR and the lost opportunities after its breakup.
