520 _a"Everybody - from heads of oil companies to all the people waiting hours for gasoline - is thinking and talking about oil. But it is impossible to understand the energy crisis and its worldwide ramifications without knowing that Exxon, Texaco, Gulf, Royal Dutch Shell and a dozen other huge companies control the world's supply of oil. In combination with Mideast suppliers, their power is enormous and unchecked. This clear, simple and direct book tells which companies are involved, who controls them, and how - through joint ventures and interlocking directorates - they combine with huge banks and insurance companies to control the world's supply of energy and, therefore, the world itself." -- From the back cover.
