Summary: "Following the publication in 1955 of his earlier work The Empire of Oil, Mr. O'Connor traveled in the Near East, South America, Canada, Mexico and Cuba to gain first-hand information on the development of the national oik companies and their rising challenge to the British-Dutch-American cartel. In World Crisis in Oil Mr. O'Connor tells that story. "In his earlier b ook, the author attempted to survey the growth of the industry in the United States. In World Crisis in Oil he surveys the world industry -- wherever oil is produced, there his spotlight is focused. Every country that is an oil producer is treated separately with all the pertinent facts and figures on production, management, ownership, rivalries of the past, and conflicts to come." -- from blurb on dust jacket
