  • "The author demonstrates how and why oil has played a central role in US relations with the wider world. He builds a compelling picture of America trying, and failing, to secure its energy supplies with enormous and sobering consequences; Washington's quest for oil has actually weakened and undermined its global influence and destabilized the world' economic prosperity and security. By dissecting the failures of the US to secure its own economic and energy interests, and by demonstrating the impact this has had on the rest of the world, especially in the Middle East, the author offers vital analysis for researchers and students of international relations, diplomacy, security and energy studies, and those interested in the future of US foreign policy in the Middle East."
