Summary:
"Oil & War addresses the role that oil played in the origins and outcome of World War II, stressing its importance to all nations during times of both peace and conflict. This is accomplished by studying the impact that oil had on the war's many battles and campaigns in theaters throughout the world, seen from the viewpoints of both Allied and Axis nations in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific. To win a modern war, a country must have enough oil to fuel its ships, planes, tanks, and other motor vehicles, meaning that access to oil--or lack thereof--can ultimately spell the difference between victory and defeat"--Provided by publisher.
