Summary: The Only Logical Explanation I've Seen for Iraq/Afghanistan
Comment: This book cuts to the chase and clearly spells out the bottom line on U.S. foreign policy. You can't spell "FOREIGN POLICY" without the letters "O" "I" & "L". The "Terrorism and Oil" chapter should be required reading in our schools.

I never understood the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan until I read this book. It cuts to the chase and reveals the bottom line economic motives for waging war. The newspapers are reporting bits and pieces of the truth, but the authors have succeeded in connecting the dots. It all makes sense to me now.

Summary: An excellent reader on a perplexing topic
Comment: This book serves as an excellent guide to understanding the source for a host of national and international conflicts. The organization of the text is exceptionally useful, allowing you to breeze over parts that you may not be interested in (for me, this was the scientific aspect of oil development) and quickly understand the more engaging material (such as international relations and energy politics). An excellent basic guide that should be a must for all high school and college students interested in political science. It doesn't get a five stars from me because, at times, the material is almost too basic, but that's what this book series is all about. Excellent for a comprehensive review that covers the bredth, not necessarilly the depth, of the topic.
