        Michael Klare, internationally  
        respected authority on energy and security issues, 
        unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in 
        prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have 
        been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years, 
        rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually 
        indistinguishable.
        

        Klare calls for a radical re-thinking of U.S. energy policy, warning 
        that unless we change direction, we stand to be drawn into one oil war 
        after another as the global hunt for diminishing world petroleum 
        supplies accelerates.
        
Klare will discuss his new book, 
        "Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet: The 
        New Geopolitics of Energy," and describe the innovative policy 
        changes at the national and international level -- including the 
        development of new energy sources and climate-friendly industrial 
        processes -- that can make a difference.
