This is the story of American petroleum interests in the Middle East
since the 1930s and their relation to our national foreign oil policy.
It provides a clear account of the tangled events leading up to the
present dominant position of American enterprise in Middle East oil
discovery and production. It also presents a significant case study of a
foreign investment and its relation to U.S. foreign economic policy.
Originally published in 1949.
