Produktbeschreibung
Debunking numerous myths that have emerged about the world's resources of oil, this book argues that the use of U.S. military power to secure oil is not only needless and costly--in both lives and money--but also counterproductive to U.S. security.

Thorough and invaluable, this focused analysis chronicles the history of the battle over oil.
