About the book

The story of the black gold that ellipsed King Coal as the world's number one resource - oil. Oil decisively won the Great War, propelled the West from the Industrial Revolution to the Plastic Age and has figured prominently in the power politics of the latter 20th and early 21st centuries. Shah elegantly weaves together the science, economics, politics and social history of the substance.
