After going through three elderly leaders in three years, Mikhail Gorbachev was chosen as the new General Secretary of the Soviet Union at the relatively youg age of 54 in March 1985.

Per un quarto di secolo (1929-1953) Iosif Stalin è stato il padrone assoluto dell'Unione Sovietica. Dall'ufficio al Cremlino, o dalle dacie fuori Mosca dove spesso risiedeva, il dittatore gestiva con pugno di ferro ogni aspetto della vita sociale, sulla base di un'interpretazione estremistica e ultrasemplificata del marxismo. Ossessionato dall'idea di "nemici interni" pronti a tradirlo, Stalin instaurò un regime di terrore che non permise mai a nessuno dei suoi sudditi di sentirsi al sicuro.

This is a summary and analysis of the book by Rachel Maddow and not the original book. In Blowout, Rachel Maddow explains how the oil and gas industry is experiencing a Renaissance thanks to fracking and horizontal drilling. The book tells the history of oil and gas over the last decade, and shows how all these pieces are interconnected and are affecting our lives, right now.
