Every serious scholar of oil and international relations should study this exemplary work and engage its arguments. * H-Net ...an outstanding book [that] paints a profoundly complex picture of the wrenching transformations of the 1970s, and makes a powerful case that the roots of our current travails lay in that traumatic decade that is only now coming into better historical focus with detailed studies like his own. * EuropeNow Praise for the German Edition: Succeeds in the difficult task of shedding new light on a topic that has been analysed from many different perspectives... It deserves a wide readership. * German History Highly convincing... Decisively broadens our understanding of the oil crisis of 1973-74. * H-Soz-Kult
