United States Oil Policy and Diplomacy: A Twentieth Century Overview, Vol. 52 - Edward W. Chester - Hardcover

'œAn extensively researched and comprehensive study of American oil policy and diplomacy, from the beginnings of the petroleum industry up to 1973. The book is divided into an overview of the historical evolution of US oil policy, followed by five chapters that concentrate on geographical regions important in regard to petroleum. There follow the author's conclusions and a brief epilogue dealing with developments since 1973. The exposition is balanced and scholarly; if one is looking for broad, sweeping generalizations about the relation of the international oil companies to goverment policies, they will not be found here. But one will discover as thorough an examination of the many twists and turns of diplomatic policies affecting the petroleum industry around the world as the limited space of this volume can provide.'' ChoiceChester, Edward W. is the author of 'United States Oil Policy and Diplomacy: A Twentieth Century Overview, Vol. 52 - Edward W.
