Автор: F. William Engdahl Название: A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order Издательство: edition.engdahl Год: 2011 ISBN: 978-3-9813263-2-1 Язык: English Формат: pdf Размер: 10,6 mb Страниц: 356
This is a story about power, power over entire nations and continents. The story describes the vehicle to that unparalleled power over nations, oil, and the vital role it has played in peace as well as wars in the past century. Henry Kissinger, the former American Secretary of State put it succinctly during the first oil shock of the early 1970’s. He declared, “Control the oil and you control entire nations.” A thin red line runs through the history of the world since Fashoda, and that is covered in oil and blood.
This book is not for the faint of heart, but it is meant to provoke reflection and discussion among those who can see beyond the daily media manipulation of reality that is called news.
