Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A vivid portrait of how oil shapes our world, tracing its journey from the oil-producing nations and showing the profound and often destructive effect it has on the lives of those it touches. A gripping, passionate and angry piece of reportage.

Publisher's description:

Oil makes the world work. It has become so vital that even a small reduction in output can cause economic chaos. This work offers a look at some of the most awful places in the world - the violent, repressive and polluted countries where oil is extracted.
