A Century of War : Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order

This Book is a Gripping Account of the Murky World of The Anglo-American Oil Industry and its Hidden Role in World Politics.

The book sheds light for the first time on such events as the 1973 oil shock - a sudden 400% rise in the price of the world's most essential commodity in a matter of weeks. What William Engdahl reveals, with flawless documentation, will shock most people. The implications are even more devastating. He also documents how oil played an essential role in the ultimate collapse of the Soviet Union, in the rise and fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan, in the US occupation of Iraq and countless other events not normally understood in such a light.

His most recent books are entitled Gods of Money: Wall Street and the Death of the American Century and Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order. He lives in Germany and is active as a consulting political risk economist.
