Reviews

Charles More's Black Gold is a timely study of an important topic: Britain's twentieth-century relationship with the oil industry...More begins at the beginning, at the early-twentieth-century apogee (but imminent decline) of the British empire; and its subject is the impact of Britain on oil as well as the impact of oil on Britain...More has constructed a coherent story from company histories, a variety of other secondary sources, and original research.--,


Summary, Petroleum Review. Friday, 1 May 2009.
