A Century of War Epub & Mobi

This book is a gripping account of the murky world of the Anglo-American oil industry and its hidden role in world politics.



"I recommend this book to all who wish to know how the world is really run, what are the systems behind the sun-systems we perceive in the daily media and what are the antecedents of the present global political dilemmas." Dr. Frederick Wills, former Foreign Minister, British Guyanna.



"Definitely not for the fearful or inattentive reader. It goes to the fundamentals.....an extraordinary work that sheds light on the problems of our society." Colonel Fletcher Prouty, USAF (ret.), author of 'The Secret Team' and the real 'Mr X' of Oliver Stone's film JFK.



William Engdahl takes the reader through the history of how seven giant oil companies - five American and two British - developed a controlling grip on the world's economy, unprecedented in history. This is no ordinary history of oil. It is a history of global politics, more precisely of global geopolitics - how control of strategic geographical pivot regions enabled first British and later American interests to control a large part of the world economy.Note: the 2012 edition of A Century of War contains extra chapters and obviously quite a bit more modern history as well.
