This book answers this question by tracing the history of energy and conflict from antiquity, through the epic hot and cold wars of the twentieth century, to expected outcome of the war in Iraq. It points the way to the end of wars over control of fossil fuels, and demonstrates why these may be the last major international wars over other resources as well.This book is a must-read for 410 0$aWorld Scientific series on energy and resource economics,$x1793-4184 ;$vv. 6. 606 $aPower resources$xPolitical aspects 606 $aSecurity, International$xEconomic aspects 606 $aStrategic materials$xPolitical aspects 606 $aNatural resources$xPolitical aspects 606 $aEnergy industries$xPolitical aspects 606 $aWorld politics$y20th century 606 $aWorld politics$y21st century 607 $aMiddle East$xHistory, Military$y20th century 607 $aMiddle East$xHistory, Military$y21st century 615 0$aPower resources$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aSecurity, International$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aStrategic materials$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aNatural resources$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aEnergy industries$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a333.79 700 $aSinger$b Clifford$01548692 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777953203321 996 $aEnergy and international war$93805900 997 $aUNINA
