  • Charles van der Leeuw was born in The Hague, The Netherlands, in 1952. Parallel to eight years studies in languages, literature and music, he founded several music and musical theatre groups, starting with a “classic-rock” group called Lincoln, and later with an experimental ensemble called De Rode Kapel. Charles van der Leeuw started working as an independent reporter on cultural issues in a wide variety of publications back in 1977. Ten years later, he settled down in war-torn Beirut as an international war correspondent, following a first experience in Iraq in 1985, which resulted in his first book on the Iraq-Iran war. After his kidnapping and release in 1989, his second book "Lebanon - the injured innocence" came out, followed, in early 1992, by "Kuwait burns". In October 1992, he settled down in Baku, Azerbaijan, as a war correspondent. "Storm over the Caucasus" on the southern Caucasus geopolitical conflicts came out in 1997 in the Dutch language and two years later in the first English edition. It was followed by "Azerbaijan - a quest for identity" and "Oil and gas in the Caucasus and Caspian - a history", both published in 2000, and “Black & Blue” published in Almaty in summer 2003 about the stormy rise of Russia's present-day oil and gas companies. In 2012, he published a bipartite book about the histories of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. His latest publication before this work was “Cold War II: cries in the desert - or how to counterbalance NATO’s propaganda from Ukraine to Central Asia”, published by Hertfordshire Press, England. Charles van der Leeuw joined the ill-heeded chorus of critics against the Bretton Wood monetary system which gave, and continues to give, America almost absolute power over all the world economies by its control over commodity and consumer good markets. To defy that monopoly which makes and (mostly) breaks national economies including those of former Soviet republics, he recalls the effects of Colbert’s mercantilism echoed subsequently in Quesnay’s physiocratic model which turned France from a third-rate nation into a first-rate economy in the XIII Century and which he still considers a viable option to bring today’s monetary mechanism down.
