Summary: "While working for the union, Mr. O'Connor was struck by the lack of up-to-date information in the oil industry from the point of view of the public interest. The libraries were loaded with thousands of volumes about the industry, but they covered almost exclusively its technical aspects; of works examining it from general economic, social, or political angles there was almost nothing. This led to his writing, in 1955, The Empire of Oil, which attempted to survey the growth of the industry in the United States, with some attention to the foreign investments of U.S. companies." -- From the dust jacket.
