The Tyranny of Oil: The World's Most Powerful Industry--And What We Must Do to Stop It

"Juhasz bravely and expertly exposes the inner workings of an industry and a government riddled with secrets, lies, and deception."
--Daniel Ellsberg, author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers

In the tradition of the Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, Antonia Juhasz's The Tyranny of Oil offers a chilling exposé of the modern American oil industry and its dire abuse of power. A leading international trade and finance policy expert and the author of The Bush Agenda, Juhasz presents eye-opening truths about a potentially catastrophic global energy crisis that only promises to get much worse in the coming years--and provides possible solutions for meaningful change. Terry Tamminen, former Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency, calls The Tyranny of Oil "a bold blueprint for ending the madness," and the Christian Science Monitor tells us, "a good first step toward true energy independence is to read this insightful book."
