Through innovative and expansive research, Oil Revolution analyzes
the tensions faced and networks created by anti-colonial oil elites
during the age of decolonization following World War II. This new
community of elites stretched across Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia,
Venezuela, Algeria, and Libya. First through their western
educations and then in the United Nations, the Arab League, and the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, these elites
transformed the global oil industry. Their transnational work began
in the early 1950s and culminated in the 1973-4 energy crisis and
in the 1974 declaration of a New International Economic Order in
the United Nations. Christopher R. W. Dietrich examines how these
elites brokered and balanced their ambitions via access to oil, the
most important natural resource of the modern era.
