SKOBELEFF'S PROJECT FOR INVADING INDIA. At various times small extracts have been given from the correspondence of the late General Skobeleff, containing his views of the practicability of a Russian invasion of India. The subjoined is the first complete document, however, that has yet been published on the subject. Its authenticity is beyond question. The italicised passages exist in the original: -- Letter from General Skobeleff to a near relative, on the invasion of India, recently found among the papers of the late Prince Tcherkassky. "I thank you heartily for your unchanging remembrance of me. I am thankful, but not surprised; it was by your co-operation that I began life in the military arena, and I am indebted to you for the first impressions of independent military service. To a certain degree I boldly express my conviction that you will henceforth take an interest in me, and assist me to continue to serve exclusively for war, which (after the success I have achieved it has now become manifest) is for me in life not a means but an end; and, moreover, the only one which causes me to value life. In this is really included the exclusiveness of my ambition, not always intelligible to everybody. You, who with discernment supported me more than twelve years ago, will probably now not refuse my petition, it being of a perfectly identical character; of course, conformably with fresh circumstances and position, as that with...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Region of the Eternal Fire: An Account of a Journey to the Petroleum Region of the Caspian in 1883 When I proceeded to the Caucasus a few weeks after my return from attending the coronation of the Emperor Alexander III. At Moscow last year, I had no intention whatever of writing a book of travels. However, the interest which some letters about the Oil Fountains at Baku, appearing in the columns of the Morning Post, excited in various quarters, caused me to investigate more fully the Petroleum industry, and the result is now before the reader. If he be connected with the Petro leum trade, the data may be of value to him; if, on the other hand, he desires to know what Russia is doing in the Caspian, he may share with me the deep interest I feel in the Kerosine factor of the Central Asian problem.

Book Synopsis The Oil Road: Travels from the Caspian to the City by : James Marriott
Download or read book The Oil Road: Travels from the Caspian to the City written by James Marriott and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey along a controversial Central Asian pipeline becomes a profound exploration of the oil economy. In a unique journey from the oil fields of the Caspian Sea to the refineries and financial centres of Northern Europe, James Marriott and Mika Minio-Paluello track the concealed routes along which flows the lifeblood of our economy. The stupendous resource of Azerbaijani crude has long inspired dreams of a world remade. From the revolutionary Futurism of the capital city, Baku, in the 1920s to the unblinking Capitalism of modern London, the drive to control the region’s oil reserves – and hence people and events – has shattered environments and shaped societies. In The Oil Road, the human scale of village life in the Caucasus Mountains and the plains of Anatolia is suddenly, and sometimes fatally, confronted by the almost ungraspable scale of the oil corporation BP. Pipelines and tanker routes tie the fraying social democracies of Italy, Austria and Germany to the repressive regimes of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. A web of financial and political institutions in London stitches together the lives of metropolis and village. Building on a decade of study with Platform, Marriott and Minio-Paluello guide us through a previously obscured landscape of energy production and consumption, resistance and profit that has marked Europe for over a century. They blend the empathy of committed travel writing with the precision of investigative journalism in a timely book of compelling urgency. The human race travels the Oil Road, and this book helps us to realize where we are heading and why it is time to change direction.

Download or read book The Prize written by Daniel Yergin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 1094 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prize recounts the panoramic history of oil -- and the struggle for wealth power that has always surrounded oil. This struggle has shaken the world economy, dictated the outcome of wars, and transformed the destiny of men and nations. The Prize is as much a history of the twentieth century as of the oil industry itself. The canvas of this history is enormous -- from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. The cast extends from wildcatters and rogues to oil tycoons, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein. The definitive work on the subject of oil and a major contribution to understanding our century, The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement -- and great importance.
Book Synopsis Global Geostrategy by : Brian Blouet
Download or read book Global Geostrategy written by Brian Blouet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new examination of Halford Mackinder’s seminal global geostrategic work, from the perspective of geography, diplomatic history, political science, international relations, imperial history, and the space age. Mackinder was a man ahead of his time. He foresaw many of the key strategic issues that came to dominate the twentieth century. Until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, western defence strategists feared that one power, or alliance, might come to dominate Eurasia. Admiral Mahan discussed this issue in The Problem of Asia (1900) but Mackinder made the most authoritative statement in "The Geographical Pivot of History" (1904). He argued that in the "closed Heart-Land of Euroasia" was a strategically placed region, with great resources, that if controlled by one force could be the basis of a World Empire. James Kurth, in Foreign Affairs, has commented that it has taken two World Wars and the Cold War to prevent Mackinder’s prophecy becoming reality. In World War I and World War II Germany achieved huge territorial gains at the expense of the Russian empire and the Soviet Union. In the former conflict the Russian empire was defeated by Germany but the western powers insisted that the territorial gains made by Germany, at the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, be given up. In World War II Britain and the US gave material support to Stalin’s totalitarian regime to prevent Nazi Germany gaining control of the territory and resources that might have been a basis for world domination. The west, highly conscious of Mackinder’s dictum (1919) that "Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland," quickly adopted policies to contain the Soviet Union. History has therefore proved Mackinder’s work to be of vital importance to generations of strategic thinking and he remains a key influence in the new millennium. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of strategic studies and military history and of geopolitics in particular.

Book Synopsis Oil and the Economy of Russia by : Nat Moser
Download or read book Oil and the Economy of Russia written by Nat Moser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the development of the Russian economy from tsarist times to the present through the lens of the oil industry. It considers the role of the state, business-state relations, foreign participation, enterprise performance and technology. Besides providing much rich detail on the changing nature of the oil industry, the book also puts forward important conclusions, including the fact that in the late nineteenth century private enterprise rather than the state was the principal driver of economic development, and that after the collapse of the Soviet Union incumbent managers were more effective in running their companies than financier entrants, whose main concern was short-term gain.
