"Steven Schneider surveys the history of the international oil market from 1945 to the present, with particular emphasis on jthe past decade. His is the most comprehensive assessment to date of the complex factors underlying the oil price revolution and the first to explore how inadequate energy policies within consuming nations contributed to OPEC's success. No other book gives as much attention, either, to the role the Arab-Israeli conflicts and East-West rivalries in the Middle East have played in the rise of the cartel."
