"Blood and Oil" a book by Michael Klare has been rendered into Persian by Vahid Mousavi and published by Saghi.
IBNA: According to Amazon, the world''s rapidly growing economy is dependent on oil, the supply is running out and the U.S. and other great powers are engaged in an escalating game of brinkmanship to secure its continued free flow. Such is the premise of Klare''s book.
The U.S.—with less than 5% of the world''s total population—consumes about 25% of the world''s total supply of oil, he argues. With no meaningful conservation being attempted, Klare sees the nation''s energy behavior dominated by four key trends: "an increasing need for imported oil; a pronounced shift toward unstable and unfriendly suppliers in dangerous parts of the world; a greater risk of anti-American or civil violence; and increased competition for what will likely be a diminishing supply pool." In clear, lucid prose, Klare lays out a disheartening and damning indictment of U.S. foreign policy.
The book is authored in 7 chapters; "Preface", "The dependency dilemma", "Lethal embrace", Trapped in the Gulf", "No safe heavens", "Geopolitics reborn" and "Escaping the dilemma".
