First Published in 2002. Oil is of strategic significance. The bulk
of the earth's known oil reserves, more than 70 percent, is
concentrated in the Persian Gulf area. And although alternative
energy sources have been vigorously pursued, the United States
continues, since 1970, to import from the Persian Gulf 24 percent
of needed oil for her own consumption. Since this study was
completed thirty years ago there have been several major events
related to the control of the flow of Gulf oil. This work narrates
the history of the world's power struggle over the control of oil
in the Persian Gulf from the time of the signing of the earliest
oil concessions in 1901 until 1971.
