"Michael Tanzer's book is a timely primer on the political economy of international oil and on the operations of the brotherhood of merchants who control this basic energy resource. Its special value lies n its instructive appraisal of the social costs for the developing nations' reliance upon privately produced and refined oil. The vantage point is that of an underdeveloped country seeking to combine rapid development with the maximum possible ecnomic and political independence." -- Back cover review by Robert Engler in The Nation
