Surprise - just about everything you ever knew about oil and power is wrong.
This terrific documentary based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book presents an incredibly incisive and insightful story based one on bold premise:
All wars and world economy since WWI has been driven by the need to control access to oil.
From Japan attacking Pearl Harbor, to Hitler opening a second front on Russia (muchless the recent Middle East wars), the startling fact is oil has been an underlying motivation for war and economic power struggles.
Loaded with detail, trivia, history and hard-fact reportage.
Don't miss this one - once seen, you'll never look at oil, power and history in the same perspective again. Outstanding.
