French author Mattheiu Auzanneau's powerful new book, Oil, Power, and War: A Dark History will be available to American audiences next month. Auzanneau's book, translated from the French and with an introduction from Richard Heinberg, offers a comprehensive view of the role oil has played in global conflict, periods of peace, unchecked growth, and ongoing waves of destruction.

Auzanneau presents these important topics in an incredibly approachable way.  <https://peak-oil.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=dbaf905568&e=bf739b315f> Oil, Power, and War communicates the reality of Peak Oil, including the short-lived production bubble from fracking. 

We want to get this book in front of as many people as we possibly can. And we need your help. By  <https://peak-oil.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=3c170eb6d8&e=bf739b315f> pre-ordering the book and leaving a positive review you can help increase the odds of it getting in front of many more people. 

“An absolutely great book, and a nearly unbelievable summary of the history of oil. But this is not just the story of oil: It is also the story of humankind during the past two centuries or so, and it shows how almost everything that happened during those centuries links back to oil. Auzanneau presents a treasure trove of information not available anywhere else—at least not in a well-organized form, and not in a critical form, as most books written on this subject are sponsored or supported, one way or another, by the fossil-fuel industry. Did you know that Mussolini was lured into his disastrous Ethiopian campaign by hopes of finding oil there? Did you know that the British won the Battle of Britain partly because the fuel of their Spitfires had a higher octane number than that of the German Messerschmitts? Did you know that the Marshall Plan to rebuild the European economies was based on the idea of replacing Europe’s dependence on American oil with a dependence on US-controlled Middle East oil? There is this and much more in this book, and the story of oil and humankind is not concluded yet. In the future, it will be mostly about getting rid of oil before oil gets rid of us.”

—Ugo Bardi, author of Extracted 

“The definitive history of the rise and eventual fall of oil, brilliantly told. Auzanneau illuminates the history of our time driven by cheap oil and the persistent search for more at all costs. Insightful, authoritative, and essential reading. A dazzling and wise book.”

—David Orr, author of Dangerous Years; Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics, Oberlin College

Beautifully written and marvelously translated, Oil, Power, and War provides a detailed history of oil’s impact on economic and technical advances—and, in turn, their impact on oil—over the past century. Extending its narrative through the events of early 2018, it offers a profound new understanding of oil’s role in war and peace, growth and stagnation; and it casts new light on the foundations of national power and the challenge that lies ahead. A terrific education and an engrossing read.

—Dennis Meadows, coauthor of The Limits to Growth 

I hope you'll order your own copy and help us get the word out about this incredible book.

With appreciation,
Tom Whipple
