Review : The New Great Game: Blood and Oil in Central Asia by Lutz Kleveman

Nicely explains the events which shaped the new geopolitics of Asia. Oil in Central Asia has played a vital role in attracting America towards this region and the invasion of Afghanistan was a part of it. This is the game where every player is trying its best to gain maximum profit. This book reflects that Central Asian states' hydrocarbon reserves have significant importance to date especially in the wake of the depleting petroleum reserves of Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing countries; to tackle future energy problems that have started to shatter the economies of some giants. Although it is an undeniable fact that the future is of renewable energy resources but oil and gas have yet to play their role for the coming many decades.
