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.

Russia is in the midst of a rapid economic and geopolitical
renaissance under the rule of Vladimir Putin, a tenacious KGB
officer turned modern-day tsar. Understanding his rise to power
provides the keys to understanding the shift in the energy trade
from Saudi Arabia to Russia. This powerful new position threatens
to unravel the political dominance of the United States once and
for all.

* Discover how political coups, hostile takeovers, and
assassinations have brought Russia to the center of the world's
energy market

* Follow Putin's rise to power and how it has led to an upsetting
of the global balance of trade

* Learn how Russia toppled a generation of robber barons and
positioned itself as the most powerful force in the energy
market

* Study Putin's long-range plans and their potential impact on
the United States and the U.S. dollar

If Putin's plans are successful, not only will Russia be able to
starve other countries of power, but the BRIC countries (Brazil,
Russia, India, and China) will replace the G7 in wealth and clout.
The Colder War takes a hard look at what is to come in a new
global energy market that is certain to cause unprecedented impact
on the U.S. dollar and the American way of life.
