Developing a strategy to secure reliable and reasonably priced energy must be among our nation's top critical priorities, and it's hard to imagine a more important contribution to the development of our policies than the analysis and proposals contained in Energy & Security. The second edition, completely updated with chapters by some of the most distinguished energy and foreign policy experts in the world, is a tour-de-force when it comes to the kind of fresh and rigorous thinking that ought to be applied to America’s foreign policy in the years ahead. It is essential reading for all who care about the most serious global challenges that will shape our nation.
