Reviews
"With a keen eye and grim wit, McQuaiq's perceptive inquiry into the world's energy system strips away layer after layer of deceit, cynicism, racism, sordid manipulation, violence and aggression, in the dedicated effort to extract every possible ounce of profit and power in a race to the edge of disaster, perhaps beyond. It is an urgent wake-up call that should -- that must -- be read and acted upon, without delay." --Noam Chomsky "McQuaig gives the reader an entertaining, highly educational and deliciously written crash course on the history of the oil industry." --"The Gazette "(Montreal) "Linda McQuaig might well be described as Canada's Michael Moore." --"National Post" "McQuaig hits the nail on the head when she tackles the question of why the United States is so concerned about oil." --"The Globe and Mail" "Rivals Naomi Klein's No Logo and Naomi Wolf's Fire With Fire for changing the way we live now." --Heather Mallick, "The Globe and Mail"
Synopsis
George W. Bush says he invaded Iraq to bring democracy to the Middle East. Some people believe that. But if you have nagging doubts, you'll be intrigued by the story unraveled in It's the Crude, Dude. With all the drama of a thriller, Canadian bestselling author Linda McQuaig probes the mystery of what really lay behind the U.S. invasion of Iraq. She points to Washington's desire to gain control of the most spectacular untapped oil bonanza on Earth--even as rapidly dwindling worldwide oil reserserves threaten to turn competition for crude into the major international battleground of the future. That battle has actually been raging for decades. Once tightly controlled by Big Oil, most of the world's oil reserves have been taken over by nationalistic regimes in the Middle East. Ever since those regimes imposed an oil embargo on the United States in the mid-1970s, Washington has been determined to regain control over oil--by force if necessary. With China's recent emergence as a voracious oil consumer, there soon won't be enough oil left to fuel two superpowers. Against this backdrop--and the equally urgent problem of global warming-- It's the Crude, Dude reminds us of the enormous consequences of our failure to curb our addiction to oil., George W.

Against this backdrop--and the equally urgent problem of global warming--"It's the Crude, Dude" reminds us of the enormous consequences of our failure to curb our addiction to oil., Starting with a lucid overview of the oil robber barons and politicians, McQuaig presents a fearless account of America's oil-driven lead-up to Iraq and of the war profiteer who charted the path.
