No War for Oil : U.S. Dependency and the Middle East, Paperback / softback Book

No War for Oil : U.S. Dependency and the Middle East Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

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. Intended to make government, the media, and citizens think more rationally about oil and the use of military power to secure it, this account suggests that the free market is still the best vehicle to deliver the product most efficiently from producer to consumer and that a withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Persian Gulf would be beneficial in the context of potential terrorist threats.

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