　　The catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has brought

new attention to the huge costs of our oil dependence. In this

stunning and revealing book, Peter Maass examines the social,

political, and environmental impact of petroleum on the countries

that produce it.

Every unhappy oil-producing nation is unhappy in its own way, but

all are touched by the “resource curse”—the power of oil to

exacerbate existing problems and create new ones. Peter Maass

presents a vivid portrait of the troubled world oil has created.

From Saudi Arabia to Equatorial Guinea, from Venezuela to Iraq, the

stories of rebels, royalty, middlemen, environmentalists,

indigenous activists, and CEOs—all deftly and sensitively

presented—come together in this startling and essential account of

the consequences of our addiction to oil.
