Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book tells the story of the raw material which shaped the twentieth century - and with it the destiny and development of modern Britain. From the first explorations, through oil-fueled conflicts and the crises of the 1970's that convulsed the petroleum-guzzling nations of the developed world, this book examines the political, strategic, economic and social importance of oil. |
