Oil and World Politics: The Real Story of Today's Conflict Zones: Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Ukraine and More Paperback – Illustrated, 10 May 2019

This book It should be taught in schools & made part of the exam questions for all students. Very relevant today considering the most recent bit of US/NATO adventurism in Europe.

John Foster is a great writer who is hugely knowledgeable about this subject. I learned a lot.

An eye opening and easy, but irritating read. The author generally reviews detail about different recent conflict zones that have been released through the media. Then he plugs in the oil, gas, pipelines and in some cases extraction, mineral or mining and method of payment components into these conflict narratives that are not readily known by the public.Now what made little sense about the continuous eastern and western head butting involvement in these seemingly irrelevant conflict zones and in world politics in general makes a lot of sense.

A clear view on how the USA are attempting to control major resources, even fomenting revolutions under the cover of bringing ''democracy'' in order to reign in smaller countries!
