town of Turkmenbashi in western Turkmenistan, March 10, 1999. The oil-rich
Caspian is the scene of a new diplomatic and commercial "Great Game"
involving Russia, the United States, Iran, China and a host of other countries.
The new Game replicates a nineteenth century struggle for influence in the
region, also known as the Great Game, between the world's then greatest
powers, Britain and Russia.
