Oil. Lies, secrets, fraud: Eric Laurent

At present, there is no side of life that would not depend entirely on oil production. The modern world is entirely built on oil; It sets in motion the mechanisms of international politics and economics. Oil is also a key to understanding the history of the XX century. The identification of hidden springs of oil policy gives a new point of view on the events of the First and Second World Wars, the confrontation of the USSR and the United States during the Cold War, on September 11 and military operations in Iraq. The political maneuvers of governments, the state economy, the financial and industrial interests of oil magnates on the one hand and oil suppliers on the other – all this is intertwined in a tangle of complex problems and influences all levels of society.
